Set directly on a rocky shoreline, our guest house will give you that home-away-from-home feeling, with spacious living room with fireplace, comfortable furnishings and spectacular water views. A continental breakfast is served on the sun porch overlooking the ocean. Each of the five bedrooms and five baths is tastefully decorated. The Captain's House is conveniently located just a mile and a half from the center of the town of Rockport.

October 24, 2010
We visited the Captains House on our way further north and were sorry we had but one night to stay. The owners and staff were welcoming and provided for a wonderful time. The breakfast was great with several things from which to choose, and the porch was a great place from which to start the day! The lawn goes directly to the rough granite shoreline - it was wonderful to just sit and soak in the sun, view and ocean air. The rooms were well furnished and comfortable, the common rooms very relaxing. Can't wait to return.

Magnificent view upon arrival and was warmly greated by host Howie and dog. Sue relayed a knowledgable review of the area and the home, They both made our visit very special, Our room was beautifully decorated and we enjoyed the relaxing breakfast on the porch, The granola was excellent, The view from the whole house was remarkable, Such a cozy setting!

If you are looking for a wonderful and peacful getaway..this is the place! Yet it is so convenient to many other activities if you aren't going to give yourself downtime..yet this place will help you really relax alot. The innkeepers, Susan and Howard, are really great folks..they make you feel welcome and are there for any info you want or need, yet not intrusive. The pics and descriptions on the website are right on..no fooling! The ocean and rocks are right at your finger tips, the islands and light house views are spectacular..as well as the beauty of the property, flower garden, etc. Breakfast is really nice...a good blend of morning food and a relaxing atmosphere...and always a different warm yummy breakfast cake. We were there 3 nights and regret we couldn't stay longer...we will next time! Thanks, Susan and Howard! You're the best!!!

This is a wonderful bed and breakfast home with unbelieveable ocean views. You can't get any closer to the rocks and water than this. We've stayed here two years in a row and plan to return again. Gretchen and Tim are very friendly and helpful to recommend nearby places to dine. I would recommend Captain's House to anyone who wants a quiet place to relax and enjoy the ocean views.

We love it here! We love the privacy, the proximity to the ocean, the sun porch in Room 1, and the homemade granola. We enjoy coming here because it is a quiet place to read, rest and relax with a beautiful view of the ocean. . .We look forward to our next stay at the Captain's House.
5 out of 5A Piece of Heaven at the Captain's House
September 16, 2010
A stay at the Captain's House is like falling in love for the first time. The hosts are warm and friendly, the sweeping ocean views are magnificent, and the home is a delight offering cozy bedrooms and a wonderfully delicious array of breakfast foods. It's impossible not to instantly relax. This was our second year back and we enjoyed it as much as the first time we stayed. We often sat outside on the white wooden chairs facing the ocean, just listening to the sound of the gentle waves and breathing in the salty air. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back again. We'd like to make this a yearly event.

I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Rockport. The location is so wonderful I'm just perfectly content staying at the inn all day.

Three nights at the Captain's House was all we could fit into a week that included the first wedding of a grandson. The weather was rainy, but we had plenty to do and see in and around Rockport. Our hosts Gretchen and Tim were very helpful in providing insights and inside information on Rockport. We have been day-trippers off and on for 40 years or more but this is the first time we stayed overnight. What we have been missing! At the height of the storm, we spent an entire morning glued to the breakfst room windows watching the waves crash against the rocky shore less than 100 feet away. What a treat! Lee and Jules
