I've stayed in many bed and breakfasts all over while traveling through business or leisure. I went to the Beach and King Street Inn in Rockport, MA last month with a friend. We stayed in the Coral Suite. The rooms were extremely clean & the beds so comfortable! Laurie and Tim were so nice and helped us with anything we needed. We met some of the daughters who were very pleasant, as well! The Breakfasts in the morning were delicious, especially the treats they left out in the late afternoon! Waters in a little fridge in the common room. BEAUTIFUL VIEWS. Beautiful town. We're definitely going back to stay again.. and for longer!!

This was our first time at a Bed & Breakfast and it exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect for walking to Bearskin Neck's shops and enjoying ocean views of Cape Ann. Our first few days were spent in the Beach Room with our son occupying the King Room. We were extremely comfortable and content. The linens, with a thread count over the top, were as luxurious as silk. Our view of Front Beach was spectacular. Our hosts, Tim and Laurie were professional and classy. They were discreet, yet, helpful and friendly. The breakfasts, with their signature yogurt parfaits, baked French Toast, hot apple crisp, assortment of cereals, hot croissants and 24/7 coffee&tea were just amazing. The Coral Suite proved to be just as comfortable, but on a smaller scale and without views of the town or ocean. The parking is across the street and depending on mobility/age could be a problem for some individuals. Also, there are a number of steps involved from porch to rooms. Meanwhile, the porch with its wonderful rocking chairs offers the perfect respite for one and all.

My stay at the Beach and King Street Inn was such a relaxing and amazing experience. My husband and I were looking for a place in Rockport that is elegant with a great rate... when we came across the Beach and King website, we had to check it out! I have to say Beach and King far exceeded our expectations of how nice a Bed and Breakfast could be! The breakfast in the morning was fresh croissants, french toast, fresh fruit and yogurt parfait! It was delicious. I even asked Laurie (the owner) for her french toast recipe! The bedroom was so beautiful (we stayed in the "King" room). At night we could hear the ocean crashing onto the shore, in the morning we opened our curtains to find a beautiful view of the ocean and the town of Rockport. Let's just say this trip saved our marriage...

Stayed here with my girlfriend for a weekend end of May. Here is my synopsis: - Inn Keepers were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. - Bedrooms and common areas were very clean and hospitable. - Location is superb. It is quiet, yet close to everything. It's right on the beach and overlooking the entire city of Rockport. - We had a chance to check out all the rooms because they were unoccupied on our last day. I would highly recommend staying at either Beach or King rooms. Coral Suite rooms have absolutely no view and are tiny comparison. Beach Room is the biggest and the best. - Biggest con - at the time of our visit, the owners were outsourcing the breakfast to a hole in the wall breakfast place next door and the 5 dollar per person allowance was not enough to cover the whole breakfast. Although I must say the owners still provided cereals, fruits, coffee & tea on premises. In subsequent conversations, the owners assured us that they were going to go back to serving full breakfast on premises. I suggest checking that out when you are booking. Its not a B&B without breakfast!

This was the first time I had visited Rockport, MA and stayed in a B&B. My husband booked two nights as an anniversary gift. The inn was beautiful and extremely comfortable. The owners were very friendly. I feel the best features of the inn are the views, the rocking chairs on the porch, and the afternoon treats (such as brownies) left out for guests to enjoy. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

The inn has a terrific location - you can walk to the Town's attractions. The innkeepers are unobtrusive but friendly & full of suggestions for the area. We stayed in the Beach Room: nicely decorated, lovely linens, great view, good size (tiny TV, but who cares?). My only complaint is that the bathroom needed more light - there is no light around the mirror, just a dim ceiling fixture. Breakfast was good, but not sumptuous... I would describe it as somewhat more than continental, but far from lavish. Water, coffee & tea is always available. Parking is on the street & can be half-block from the inn. (The innkeepers offered to help with our luggage.) All in all, highly recommended.

Indeed a great place to stay in Rockport! The first night, we've requested for our wine to be chilled then we went out to have dinner. When we returned to our room, our wine was in an ice bucket, with wine glasses nicely prepared and ready to be enjoyed. For the succeeding couple of nights, our ice bucket and wine glasses would be ready when we returned to our room. Laurie and Tim anticipated our needs and it was greatly appreciated. Laurie prepares a variety of healthy and yummy breakfast, served in their lovely dining area. Coffee, tea, cocoa and water are available 24/7 as well as cookies and fruits. Tim is very helpful in recommending places to visit, dine in, shop, etc... He never tires in answering our numerous questions about Rockport and Cape Ann. The room we stayed in was beautiful, comfortable, cozy and had a beautiful view of the beach and the town. Definitely a place to recommend to family and friends. Can't wait to be back next year.

Beach & king street inn was our first encounter with the American b&b, and I must say we fell in love with it. We loved the hospitality, helpful and atentive throughout, but at no time not being intrusive. The room was amazing, waking up to views of the beach and the sunrise, and the great attention to details in the furnishing. The food surprised us, we were ready for a continental breakfast (as stated by the web site) usually meaning bread, jam and coffee in Europe, but instead got a fabulous, very tasty, and very filling array each morning. My complements to the chef. I should also say some good words about the living room, very inviting place to sit and relax after a long day with a nice piece of home made cake and a good cup of tea. ..... why can't life always be like this?

Overall, we had a positive experience at this B&B and recommend it to others looking to stay in the area. The Beach & King are the consummate B&B. By that, I mean you will experience home-cooked meals, a cozy shared living room, lots of light and a cute cat wandering around the house. The only thing I can think to complain about was the 19" tv in the bedroom but honestly, who stays at a B&B and cares about the television? The bed was comfortable, the hosts were more than kind (and not at all overbearing, which can be a B&B curse), the accommodations were pleasant and importantly, the photos on this site are very representative of the place. None of the normal "hide the camera in the furthest corner to make the room look bigger." The food was great, and plentiful. We stayed over Valentine's Day, and we were pleasantly surprised to find small heart-shaped cookies for the taking in the living room late at night. A great place, fully recommended.

Upon locating this inn on B&B.com and reading the reviews we decided to stay for 3 nites to celebrate our 7th anniv and V-day. It was absolutely wonderful! Tim was the most helpful innkeeper we've met - he was very accommodating but yet not overbearing. He provided us a tour; inq about our likes for bfast and a time that works for us - still allowing us to get what we want & go back to our room if we wanted; had a ton of menus avail w/his own suggestions for dinner. The inn was extremely quiet and relaxing - they had a very mellow jazzy sound in the downstair main area..a relaxing living room with a gorgeous view of the beach right across the street. He even went out of his way to do a bit of surprise decorating for my husband while we were out shopping...candies & rose petals on the bed. We will be back as we stayed in the Beach Room - the one with the dual windows overlooking the beach...it was nice to wake up to a sunrise over the ocean. Also the bed was very comfortable w/expensive feeling sheets and soft down bedcover and duvet ..extremely cozy. We couldnt say enough about this place - and we'll be back in the summer when we go motorcycling just to have the summer breezes coming in through the windows ! Perfection!

My wife and I just checked out of the Beach & King Street Inn after a long weekend getaway. We've been to Rockport many times and stayed at a different B&B each time. This was our best experience so fat. The location is ideal, just a short walk from the shops and resaurants on the waterfront and across the street from a small cove and beach. Our room faced the water and from two large picture windows we had a fabulous view of the town and beach. The small touches made this inn exceptional. They thought of everything...complimentary water and juice, binoculars in the rooms, beach towels and chairs, a restaurant guide, afternoon snack, on-demand coffee and tea and a wonderful morning breakfast that went well beyond "continental." The inn is decorated with an eclectic mix of furnishings, paintings, pictures and other stuff. Our room was clean and comfortable. The down comforter, luxury sheets and quality pillows assures a good night's sleep, aided by the sound of the waves lapping against in the shoreline. One drawback...the lighting in our bathroom needed to be brighter. It was hard to shave, apply make-up, etc with the low level of lighting provided. Overall, a great stay and highly recommended.

Just returned from a 2 night stay at the Beach and King Street Inn. What a find!!! Beautifully decorated (looks just like the pictures)...spotlessly clean, a home away from home in the great seaside town of Rockport. The location could not have been more perfect...directly across the street from Front Beach and a 1 minute walk to beautiful Back Beach. There were wonderful views of the water and the sound of the surf at night. We walked about 5 minutes into the town of Rockport to the shops and restaurants and Bear Skin Neck. In the evening it felt as if we were walking home to a peaceful neighborhood by the sea. Our Innkeeper, Tim, was so helpful with suggesting things to do and places to go. There are wonderful walking paths that hug the harbor in town and a short ride to fabulous Halibut State Park which overlooks the ocean. When I spoke with Tim's wife, Laurie, to reserve the rooms we decided on the Coral Suite. It has 2 adjoining rooms each with its own queen size bed and each has its own bathroom. What a perfect way to travel with a friend!!! The rooms were thoughtfully and beautifully decorated with great furniture, colors, quilts on the beds. It was just perfect!!! I always try to stay in B&B's or Country Inns...I was so impressed with the attention to detail here. There were beach towels and beach chairs for the guests, hairdryers and toiletries, beautiful music in the main living /dining room, and wonderful chocolate chip cookies each afternoon. I am already planning another short getaway to the Beach and King Street Inn. Rockport is such a wonderful and picuresque seaside town. You do not have to travel far to feel like you are a million miles away and this Inn is truly the place to stay!!!!

That was our first B&B experience. Since I like it quiet when I travel (my husband can sleep in any circumstances) I never care to try. However, referring to the description and the quality pictures, that inn caught my attention. The place, the surrounding and the quality of what we received enchanted us. We chose the beach room...What a room with a view. Exactly like the pictures. The only problem was that we only booked three nights...four would have been a better stay. Bring your bike. The island tour is worthy. Long but definitely a nice activity to do if you are ready to pedal up and down for 4 hours. So I highly recommended going there.

The owners, Tim and Laurie were quite pleasant and made our stay very pleasant. The inn was cheery, peaceful and clean. The bed sheets and bath towels were luxurious. The view of the ocean each morning is outstanding. I was surprised to learn that the "continental breakfast" consisted of oranges, apples and croissants. The innkeepers did provide "vouchers" to a small nearby restaurant where we ate breakfast. The vouchers did not cover the cost of a typical (eggs and coffee) breakfast. A breakfast, for two, consisting of 3 blueberry pancakes and coffee ran $20 +tip. The vouchers reduced to cost by $10. Though we certainly did not come for the "afternoon snacks", small chocolate nut clumps and chocolate covered pretzels, obviously store purchased, don't constitute "home made cookies". We loved the location and easy access to the delightful town of Rockport and will certainly visit again and may even stay at this inn, which certainly is an apt name, but calling this a B&B is somewhat misleading. Other B&B's we have stayed at make it a point to impress their patrons with a tasteful, well appointed, breakfast. As to the "Lunch is available by special request." nothing of this service was mentioned at check in. It didn't matter but it shouldn't be included on this website. All of the above criticisms are minor but it would behoove the owners to take note.

Laurie and Tim (the owners) are so hospitable, they have excellent suggestions of what to check out in the area (they have lived in the area for many years and know all the nooks and crannies), amazing attention to detail including candlelit livingroom (fireplace in the winter/fall time) with comfy furniture to enjoy reading, hanging out and enjoying the time with friends/family, and incredible porch to view the ocean/beach and true beauty of Rockport on your rocking chair! Great location can walk to many places, beaches, shopping, restaurants, whale watching is a quick 5 minute drive, wonderful breakfast (including fresh fruit, homemade breads, muffins, desserts, lemonade and/or ice tea, coffee throughout the day), the inn has a wonderful history, ambiance/decor is so warm and inviting including beautiful pieces of art. Property is so well maintained, lovely flowers, no matter what season Laurie adds a special touch (in the winter there are beautiful holiday decorations). Rooms each have their own exquisite style - the beds are SO COMFORTABLE you feel like you are sleeping on a cloud, you can hear the ocean that rocks you to sleep. I always feel so rested and re-energized everytime! I discover new places and things to do in the area thanks to Tim and Laurie's suggestions and advice - am never disappointed! The view is so lovely - you get such a wonderful perspective of New England. Rockport is so easy to get to - you can even take the train from Boston and the inn is only about a 5 minute walk. You do not even need a car! Am looking forward to more visits! Wonderful, wonderful place to stay!

This was our first time staying in a bed and breakfast. The Beach & King Street Inn is in a nice location very near to the water and easy walking into the town. The owners were very friendly and left treats for us in the morning and in the late afternoon. This is definitely the place to stay if you're in the area.

If you are looking for a marvelous location, quaint village of Rockport,MA is terrific. The Beach & King Street Inn sits across the beach from the ocean with fantastic views. Rooms are beautiful and the overall atmosphere is lovely. Laurie & Tim, owners, are absolutely wonderful, hospitable and fun. This is an Inn that should not be missed. N.O'Brien - Glenview,IL

When we arrived at the Beach and King Street Inn for our romantic getaway, we were warmly greeted by our hosts and were shown to our fantastic room with a stunning view of Front Beach. We were given every amenity we needed and were served a candlelight breakfast by the fire each morning. We couldn't ask for a better way to spend our weekend. We left refreshed and rejuvenated. Thanks for taking good care of us.

my husband & I stayed Nov. '07, we had quite a storm that weekend! Tim & Laurie were gracious, accomodating; they felt more like friends than hosts, their home is warm & inviting; we had not been to Rockport in many years & we enjoyed re-visiting the town; almost everything is within walking distance, we won't wait so many years to visit again!

We had a great experience at the Beach & King Street Inn run by Laurie and Tim. We stayed in the Coral Suite which is two separate rooms joined by a shared door. The two rooms, somewhat on the small side, were beautifully decorated and had great art on the walls from local artists. Laurie and Tim were great hosts, the Inn was nice and cozy, and they created a very personal and inviting experience. I highly recommend this Inn.

Stayed at the Beach & King Street Inn in April. The location was great, the breakfasts were delicious and Tim was very pleasant and made us feel very much at home. I found a little pond and park area right across the street which was so relaxing and beautiful. It just added to our stay. I would recommend this B&B to anyone who is looking for a very clean, inviting, hospitable place to stay.

Visited in late March '08' during the quiet time. Laurie & Tim were superb hosts and their inn is gorgeous at very reasonable prices. Our 3 day stay actually brought my wife to tears at one point with the beauty of the view of the ocean across the street and the great time we had. I would highly recommend a stay here whether it be high time or slow time.

While working in the Rockport area, I knew there had to be a better place to stay than a hotel chain. Driving through Rockport, you can't help but find the Beach & King Street Inn...sitting high on the corner looking out over Cape Anne. It was love at first sight! I've stayed there several times and always look forward to returning. Tim and Laurie go out of their way to accomodate any of your needs and provide helpful hints about how to get the most out of your stay in Rockport. A few short steps away from the front porch and your sitting on the beach (chairs and towels provided by the Inn). Walking around Rockport in the morning, stopping to get a hot cup of tea at the diner and finding your way out to the cliffs overlooking the sea.. oh how I wish everyday could start out like that! I highly recommend at least one stay at the Inn. I only have to tell my family that I'm going to visit "my little slice of heaven" for them to know I'll be at the Beach and King Street Inn!

My wife and I spent two nights at the Beach & King this past April and couldn't have loved it more! From the friendly professional service of the Giarrossos, to the amazing breakfast and the incredible ocean view and in-town location, you just can't do any better. We are already planning our next trip to this lovely little New England town, and will definitely stay at the Beach and King! Highly recomended.

The Beach & King Street Inn is simply perfect for a weekend getaway in beautiful Rockport. The location is excellent; a short walk from downtown, across from the ocean. The rooms are beautifully decorated and immaculately clean; as well, the common areas comfortable and inviting. The innkeepers' hospitality was delightful; they kept us in afternoon treats and coffee and tea readily available for cozying up on the porch. I would return in a heartbeat.

We stayed at this B&B September 2008. The website is right on with the pictures and descriptions of the Inn. A very unique, clean, charming Inn. The Innkeepers were delightful and available for any advise we needed. Breakfast was great and the location perfect. Beautiful views of the beach and village and walking distance to everything. The special touch of a cooler with ice and bottled water in our room was great. They replaced the ice and waters daily. I love this place!
