The waters surrounding Cape Ann beckon scuba divers, kayakers and sailors to explore the bay. Watch for whales or puffins on one of many charters; hike through the wilds of Halibut Point or along the breathtaking Headlands. Find inspiration in the glades and bluffs of Cape Ann.

It was a wonderful stay, just to sit and watch the sun go down in the evenings from our own porch, watch the sea life during the day, and hear the waves at night. It is a great location. Hope to be there again!

Wonderful place to stay in Rockport near center of town

Reviewed By 213marys

I was at Addison Choate last week, from May 1 to May 5. I stayed in the first floor guest room, which is called Wide Berth. As other reviewers have stated, it is a relaxing, modern place to stay (with a touch of a retro feel). The photos on the website represent it well. Room and bath were immaculate. The room had a small refrigerator, a TV, two comfortable chairs, and a coffee maker. I am a tea drinker, and Marshall gave me an electric tea pot for my use in the room, which was very nice. Everything was comfortable. Parking lot for guest use. As others have said, every day I filled out a menu card for the next day's continental breakfast, which was available at 8:30 am to pick up. Lots of items to choose from, and everything was fresh. Especially enjoyed the scones. Marshall was friendly and great to talk to. Thank for for a relaxing stay.

Great Inn, I would suggest asking for a room right in the main building so you can have view of the fire pit and the building. There is a great breakfast included, heated pool and employee offered to start up the fire pit at anytime! Very convenient and pet friendly!

Reviewed By Pamela T

Welcoming, reasonably priced, tastefully decorated rooms. Loved the location, steps away from the main street(s) of Rockport. Only stayed one night, but would like to return and stay longer. Convenient microwave and fridge; church bells were lovely. Stayed in (16), nice deck ( shared). Might suggest a coffee service, I stayed during the shoulder season, so that might be why. Very helpful upon check in with knowledge of town galleries, restaurants, and directions. Appreciated the fact that there is a place affordable to stay so close to town. Clean, Comfortable. Classy.

Cozy?

Reviewed By N2373DEsusans

I don’t often write reviews because each person has their own ideas, but it is necessary to let others know the issues I encountered on this visit. 1. The walls are so thin that I heard all occupants in my floor and the floor above me. 2. I was hoping their going to sleep would stop the noise problem. But, the gentleman in the room next to me snored so loudly it was impossible to sleep. 3. I got less than 3 hours of sleep! 4. The people who stayed in the room across the hall said they were freezing all night. I was too warm. Old houses are hard to maintain, but this one could use better insulation and some sound proofing. Bring lots of layers (except in the summer) and a noise canceling head phones.
