We loved our stay at The Rockport House. It was within walking distance to town, though there is no staff on the premises, with one call or text, we had every question answered. Loved our room, loved the places to sit in the shade. We will definitely be back! One suggestion, have a water refilling station in the main house.

Very clean Inn and room. Recently upgraded room. Was a little different than most places...there is no staff at the main entrance. You are given a code shortly before check in that gets you in the building and your room. There is a phone number that you can call if there is any issues. Great place and real good price considering how close it is to the main strip and ocean (within walking distance). Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Very convenient, clean, good parking.. Only thing I didn’t like was the check out/chek in times.. would be nice if check in was at 3pm and check out at 11am or 12pm.

We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Cape Ann and Rockport. We were very happy with our room, which was spacoius and clean. Even though there's no staff on the premises, the property management was very engaged, sending multiple text and email prior to checking in, texting the next day to make sure everything was OK. The room also has a nice fridge and microwave. The only drawback was the bed and pillows were a bit soft for us.

We only stayed one night, but we were obsessed! The property was gorgeous and the rooms were so cute, clean, and the beds were cozy. We were disappointed we didn’t have more time and discussed booking it again for a whole weekend! It was dif type of check in than I was used to, but went so smoothly. Having a room with a keypad was extremely convenient too! We loved it!

I was at the Rockport House a week ago when I took a whale-watch trip down in Gloucester (close by!) on my birthday. I booked it last-last-minute- so I missed the emails to allow me to register and receive easy instructions for entering the house without staff inside. Yes, that was the newest twist for me in fine lodging- not having staff at the house- but really, it's no different than most Airbnb set-ups these days, right? So, instead of having a code to enter the house (and into my room- the individual code is the same) I gave staff a call to let them know I'd arrived, then from that point on, our text communications were easy-peasy. I loved the grounds, abundant with flowers, and the history of the house. I didn't mind the stairway to my third-floor guestroom. Loved the bed, lighting, shower, fridge, the coffee. I even enjoyed the inconvenience of my TV remote's battery being dead! Texted the staff- got an immediate reply and was led to a supply closet in the living room downstairs where there were batteries galore. Easy-peasy. The only snafu for me was in leaving (somehow!) my old reliable electric toothbrush behind. I communicated with staff, who conveyed that it had mistakenly been discarded, then offered to replace it. As it was a model that was no longer available (but I had a half-dozen replacement brush-heads for!) our totally acceptable compromise was that I was immediately mailed a half-dozen replacement heads for my NEW toothbrush. I'm a happy customer!

I loved the room size, the activities nearby too were also really cool. Loved the digital key with the numbers as well. The only issue I had was the shower curtain rod was a bit finicky and fell a couple times, and there was a bee in the room when I first got there. Other than that, great place to stay. 👍

Huge room. Bed and comforter made it very cozy for sleep. I like the added addition of a refrigerator and a microwave. Perfect amenities in the bathroom as well. Would love to come back someday.
