The Captain's House was the perfect 2 night getaway. First & most important: it's right on the ocean. Second: we could easily walk into town, taking the scenic Old Garden Path that rambles along the shore line. We stayed in Room 3 (ocean... read more

I highly recommand a stay at Captain's House. I shared the beautiful room #1 with two other friends. The hosts were very accomodating and friendly. The view of the ocean was as beautiful if not more than all the pictures shown on the site. Great... read more

With only five rooms this Bed & Breakfast you don’t get lost in the crowd. Beautiful views from all the rooms, sounds of the ocean to lull you to sleep, a great breakfast, a comfortable place to read, and a long porch facing the ocean are some... read more

We have stayed at Captain's House numerous times. You cannot find a better value for an oceanfront b&b. Rooms are lovely. We actually prefer the non-formal breakfast (as opposed to having to sit at a table with perfect strangers) and the... read more

It was our pleasure to stay in Room 1. The views were unbelieveable. Captain's House sits right on the Atlantic Ocean. We will definitely return for another stay there. Bill and Carolyn Carter Longview, Texas

I had a fantastic room looking out over the ocean and went to sleep with the sound of the surf breaking on the rocks below drifting in through the open window... magical! Lovely place to stay but I was slightly disappointed with the breakfast fare -... read more

We come to Rockport at least twice a year and this house is one of the best out there, highly recommend it!

Before we went to Captain’s house, I spent 3 hours just looking at websites of all Bed & Breakfasts and hotels in Cape Ann. There was no doubt even before we went that Captain’s House was the best place to stay. The warm and very personal... read more

What a beautiful and special home to stay in. You definitely feel that you're away from it all while only being a few miles from the middle of town. To be able to fall asleep with the sounds of the ocean and enjoy the views of the lighthouses, it... read more

This is a place that you just say WOW when you drive up... and it keeps getting better. We took the train into Boston every day to sight see. There is free parking at the train station and a round trip ticket is about $15. There is nothing quite... read more

It's now been almost 40 summers that we've been staying at the Captain's House, and so it's like our second home. We have stayed in every one of the five rooms (each of which is lovely), taken advantage of the wide porch, inside and outside, and the... read more

You never have to leave except to have dinner or bring it back and open a nice wine because you're not getting a better view at any restaurant. Gretchen and Tim just flat out want you to enjoy their entire B&B as well as your private room.... read more

I can make this quite simple. We have stayed in this room for the last quarter of a century and can not wait to make it year number 26. Front row on the Atlantic, sea smells, fog and sun, gulls, surf sounds... and my personal addiction, fishing for... read more

The Captain's House is the B&B we had been looking for on the North Shore of Boston for years - it is as close as you can get to the ocean without camping out on the rocks. Fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves, and if you get to stay in... read more

We have stayed at many B&Bs over the last 35 years, and seldom return to any; we like variety. But every year we return to the Captain's House. The views are stunning, the walk to town is delightful, rooms are great. The breakfast is as good... read more

We have been coming to the Captain's House for ten years, drawn back by the charming hosts, excellent period rooms, and the astonishing views of the Atlantic. A wonderful place to relax.

It's a rare situation when the reality equals or exceeds the publicity. The first time I drove in the yard I was just awed. There is nothing between the front porch and the ocean except a bit of lawn and the famous rocks of Rockport. Rooms #1 and... read more

I, of course, would consider it an HONOR to write a review of the Captain's House...far and away the best vacation spot in MA...IMHO. My little poem, dedicated to this lovely home, is my greatest praise..."Standing at the edge of the... read more

We set out for a weekend getaway on Cape Ann with no definite lodging plans. Once we walked into Captains House, there was no question of looking any further.The inn is beautiful. The common areas are warm and welcoming. The rooms are well decorated... read more

My husband and I needed to get away from our 7 children who were eager for us to get away! As such, we were delighted with the helpful tips on where to dine in Rockport. The views from our room were exquisite even on the one day it rained. The... read more

Lovely Inn right on the ocean. Open the windows and let the smell and sounds of the Atlantic send you off to sleep. We went last summer and made a reservation for this summer as we were leaving. Good spot to use as a base too. Nice neighborhood area... read more

Despite the fact that we've never had the opportunity to stay in the infamous Room 1, my husband and I have been to the Captain's House twice. We were able to see one of the lighthouses with our heads on our pillows from one of the rooms! The... read more

Over the years my wife and I have returned to the Captain's House on a yearly basis. It is the perfect place to enjoy the peace and quiet of the ocean.

It has been our experience that B & B's are not always kid friendly, and don't always offer the views they claim. That is not the case at Captain's House. Our entire family - including our 10 year old son - was warmly welcomed and the view was... read more

Six of my family stayed at the Captain's House Inn, having found it on the internet and wanting to be "close" to the water. Actually, we were only feet away, as you can see from the picture as well as find it on Google. Easy to figure... read more

We had a wonderful stay. Rooms were clean. We stayed in room 1, the only room with a private sun porch which we spent many hours in. Views are beautiful, you can't get any closer to the ocean. Loved sitting on the rocks and listening to the... read more

The Captain's House was everything it advertised and more! When we arrived at the house, it's expansive ocean view quickly appeared, and we spent much of our time either in the sitting room overlooking the water, or on the chaise lounges right on... read more
