Rockport Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nous avons séjourné au Rockport Inn lors d’un voyage en famille avec notre bébé de trois mois et avons adoré notre expérience! La chambre était spacieuse, très propre et parfaitement adaptée aux familles. Nous avons également beaucoup apprécié la grande piscine ainsi que l’espace foyer, qui ajoutent vraiment au charme de l’endroit. Le déjeuner était simple, mais parfait pour bien commencer la journée. Une très belle découverte à Rockport! Nous y retournerons sans aucun doute lors d’un prochain séjour dans la région. 😊"

Oceanview Kingsize South End Studio NO FINAL CLEANING FEE

10/10 Excellent
"This is a lovely space! It is very clean and tastefully decorated with a convenient little kitchen, a very comfy bed and two extra futons that double as couch and chair creating a nice “living room”. It’s one open space but there’s a little screen you can use if you want to create a bit of separate space for a “bedroom”. It is on the same property as the owner’s house but in a completely separate building. Best of all, you have a beautiful view of the ocean outside the large windows! And the owner told us about a public path, literally 3 minutes walk away, that leads to a beautiful rocky spot above the crashing waves! What a treat!! Also, the historic fishing village of Rockport, just 5 minutes drive away, is adorable with fun little boutiques and several good restaurants (and ice-cream shops!) all right on the harbor. A truly wonderful get-away!!"

Harborside Oasis ★ Harbor View ★ Heart of Downtown

8/10 Good
"I did a midweek stay for a couple of days, arriving on a Sunday afternoon.This apartment is directly in the heart of the downtown area. Mere steps away from many restaurants and shops. The restaurant immediately next-door to the apartment was fantastic. The harbor view from the little porch was a lovely place to sit and read and people watch. Front beach was about a 10 minute walk. Not a very large beach, but very accessible.Inside was very clean and charming. Good for one or two people. People with challenges navigating an exterior staircase might find it a little challenging. I don’t think the description explicitly mentions the stairs, although you could probably figure it out just looking at the pictures from the little porch area.The only anxiety I felt was parking when I first arrived on a Sunday. There is no assigned parking spot for this rental. Gigi was very good about giving me options. When I first arrived, I went to one of the side streets that she recommended and found a free spot that was a short walk away. After that first night, I was able to move my car early in the morning to the wharf parking right next to apartment during daytime hours and then the meter parking at night when it was free and crowds had cleared out.I love the calm vibe of this coastal town. Perfect for a relaxing stay."

10/10 Excellent
"In late August my daughter, who now lives in Vancouver BC and myself in Vermont, visited Rockport/Gloucester MA. We have done quite a bit of traveling together in the US and UK. We stayed at The Cove at Rockport and LOVED it! The Parking was most likely the easiest we have ever encountered. Our room was clean and conveniently accessible. We had the opportunity to sit on the lovely community front porch that overlooks Front Beach in Rockport. When we decided to move down to the beach across the street we were happy to find clean beach chairs in the hallway for us to use! Later, we decided to go to dinner in Bearskin Neck within minutes away. What a unique experience to be amoung the shops, restaurants, sea and boats on our way walking through the street. The Cove also has Bikes to use at your leisure. The room was wonderful with a well adorned bathroom as well as great TV. The Beds & Bedding were an outstanding surprise after such a long day! I feel like I should mention the great location if you are looking for Beaches. Check in and check out easy and response emails from the owner was prompt. Thank you, I will be back again!"

"Very clean and lovely restored 1800’s home. Room was adequate for size considering a bathroom was added to make this a boutique room. We had two very large suitcases as we were traveling for 2 1/2 weeks so it was challenging for us to haul them up a narrow stairway and live out of them in our room as there was no dressers. I would recommend this room for light travelers. Comfortable bed!"
