Very nice getaway, a great location in proximity to Rockport and area attractions we visited Hammond Castle, Rockport Village, Castle Hill, and Halibut Point State Park. Breakfast was delicious and staff great, our room and view were excellent. Only two negatives , the pool was under construction, and because it was a weekday the bar/lounge was closed. But overall an awesome stay and would definitely would stay again.

Breakfast was wonderful. Christina is a great chef. The view was spectacular! We loved sitting relaxing in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the ocean. The Bar staff was friendly and welcoming. They also made a great cocktail! My only critique gives the bar was only open till 8 PM so we could not have a nightcap. The property is old New England as to be expected. The area is beautiful and safe. The beds were comfortable and the shower amazing, great water pressure.

Absolutely lovely. We were in Quarter Deck building. The America room. Very nice. Comfy king bed. The view out our picture window was phenomenal! Felt like on a cruise ship. Breakfast was made to order. Beautiful breakfast room with views of the water. Can’t say enough. A hidden gem. Definitely will be going back in the fall. Very very quiet as well.
