    Reminiscent of days gone by, the Seaward Inn, with breathtaking ocean views, sits on one of the most prestigious locations in Rockport. Sea breezes abound throughout this coastal resort making it a perfect retreat for privacy, relaxation, and adventure. Most notably, it has been a home away from home for numerous artists, writers and Hollywood celebrities, including the cast of "The Perfect Storm". Borrow one of our bikes for a tour of the area, take a jog or leisurely walk to town along a seaside path. Step back in time and experience the charm, serenity and unspoiled beauty that is the Seaward Inn. A delicious full service breakfast, complementary to our guests, is served in our Sea Garden Restaurant.

    We were there after the Inn had closed for the season, therefore the dining room was closed. However, everything else was great. Nice room, very clean and large and well accommodated. We would defineately stay there again.


    Lovely, lovely inn!

    Very friendly, helpful staff! We stayed at the very end of the season, so the dining room/ breakfast was not available to us. Lovely, lovely inn. My family has been staying at the Seaward Inn for generations- we will be back in the spring!

    I could not find my confirmation # for my stay here so I called the Seaward Inn. Luckily they had availability...but not for the room I thought I had booked. I believe his name was Neil who helped me when I called. He was able to give me another room at the last minute for what I would have originally paid. He was so nice on the phone. Me & my friend were on a pretty tight vacation schedule & were happy to know we could still stay in the Rockport area. We actually met Neil (I hope I have his name correct) at breakfast. He was very personable. The room, view, breakfast & staff were wonderful. The lady who checked us in & out was very sweet and I can't remember her name!! We had a great experience and will share that with our friends back in Texas!!!


    Wonderful week-end stay

    We loved the location of the Inn-right on the rocks overlooking the harbor! There were benches and chairs arranged for guests to relax and contemplate the beauty of the ocean. Breakfast was a treat and the hosts and staff were very warm and helpful. The atmosphere felt like it was geared towards a more senior crowd (except that there were steep steps to the rooms) but we enjoyed it even as "middle-agers" and would definitely return.


    Great place to stay!!!
