Captain Bounty Motor Inn

My husband and I stayed at the Captain’s Bounty for two nights at the end of April. We stayed in an end unit on the 3^rd floor. We loved it! The room was clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed sleeping with the door open so we could hear the waves and feel the ocean breeze. The pictures on the site do not lie. The rooms look exactly as shown and yes the beach is that close. The town is an easy walk, with nice shops and restaurants. The Inn Keepers were very personable and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Definitely worth the visit.

Got the corner room 3^rd floor. Seemed like newish renovation, tile + carpet, pleasant decoration. The Mrs. gave it the thumbs up, which is all that matters. Yes, ‘spensive. Bed was squishy, but only because it had one of those added squishy layers on an otherwise somewhat firm mattress set. It was clean, again, that’s all that matters.

Loved this spot! This hotel was one of the cleanest ever. It was a white light bright room with a comfy bed, everything I want in a room on the coast with a little beach only drawback is no access directly out of private patio, but no big deal. You could leave the sliding patio door open and hear the waves breaking. We arrived with no booking, Maureen was great, we arrived late;I called the Phone number and she met us at motel, we had a room with the kitchen which allowed us to stay in one night. I would definitely stay again and love to come back. Everything in Rockport and bear neck is a very short walk from here, food, shops, local flavor which made it nice not to have to drive and have safe parking in such a busy area. You are also close for driving to Gloucester, and around Cape Ann to beautiful historic sites. I loved it We loved it, Went for one night, stayed 3 luckily they had rooms because the season hasd’t started yet.

We stayed here on a weekend in April. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. The parking is tight, and customers have to pay attention to make sure that they are parked correctly within the lines. The owner made sure that everyone could park their car.
The room that we had was an efficiency. There was a fridge, a stove, small appliances, bowls/​plates, pans, glasses/​mugs, and flatware. The bed was queen size and very comfortable. There was also a very warm blanket that could cover the bed to make it warm on a cold night. Each room comes with a private balcony. There were 2 plastic chairs, which were comfortable enough to sit, relax, and hang out with the ocean right in front of you.
It was a short walk to Bear Skin Neck and the shops. The choice of restaurants was very few with little variances in the menu. If you like fried seafood, then you’ll always be in luck.
We look forward to staying at the inn again in the future.

This is a beautiful place to stay with the view, and near the downtown which is very convenient .
You get the beach ²⁴⁄₇.
I’ve stayed there three Septembers & this year they changed owners .
I gotta say I miss the old owners, when I checked in didn’t feel as welcome as I did in the past & didn’t trust that my credit card was mine even with photo ID.
They close too early which is at 8 pm .
What if someone is coming from Logan from across the country or is stranded and needs a room at midnight, etc?
They used to always have movies in the lobby as well but they discontinued that & with that you have to think of the elderly to .
It’s harder for them to use those remotes & maybe they want a DVD from their generation they can just pop in etc .
You also can’t get movies on demand, whatever is on at the moment are your choices .
The bathroom supplies have become stingier, we used to get 5 soaps, shampoos & a few rolls of TP etc .
If you have three ladies that need to wash their hair etc everyday things will run out .
I will continue to stay at this serene place but some things haven’t changed for the better .
If you are a loud night owl, I wouldn’t recommend it, more peaceful and serene .
It’s pretty ideal for «morning people «, you’ll be able to sleep quietly if you like to go to bed early .
Happy vacations !

My boyfriend and I stayed here the night before we ran a half marathon. Very clean, gorgeous views of the ocean from the rooms/​balconies, and the staff was friendly and easy to work with. Since we had to check out of our room before our race, we were bummed we wouldn’t have our room to shower in after, but they ended up letting us shower in the employee bathroom! It was extremely kind of them as they did not have to go out of their way to let us do that. My parents also stayed on the first floor with their dog and were pleased with their stay. If we ever return to Rockport, we’ll definitely stay here again!

When we pulled up and I saw the giant pirate and that we were staying at a motel I do have to admit I didn’t think romance, or have high expectations. Oh how I was wrong, it was our anniversary so I’m glad the pirate didn’t stop me from heading up to our room.
We checked in and the woman in office greeted us with a warm smile and assured us anything we needed during our stay to call her. The room was super clean, brand new bathrooms, and had a cute kitchen. Not super fancy, but simple, and clean. The view though can not be beat and every single room has a balcony that faces the ocean.
We fell asleep to the sound of the waves lapping onto the beach and woke up to the same sound. It was beautiful.
Only tip I have is if you have trouble sleeping with a large firm pillow (stomach or back) bring your own, and if you wanted to go out at night, head over to Gloucester, everything in Rockport seems to close very early.

DO YOURSELF THE FAVOR AND STAY AT THIS HEAVEN ON THE BEACH!!! Ohhh My God! Best part of our trip was this hotel! You wake up to heaven and go to sleep as if it were a spa… Very clean, very relaxing, extremely quiet, very tranquil, staff (Lori) front desk oh my god what a doll!!! And her dog such a sweety pie! Very patient here with anything you need. I’m sorry if you don’t book your room here your just dumb!!! AND THE BEST PART IS THEY ARE NOT SUPER EXPENSIVE! Definitely our permanent vacation spot for Rockport!

My wife and I go there a few times a year because we love the north shore and they are centrally located to that area. Reasonable rates, right on a small family style beach, dogs are allowed, walking distance to all the shops in Rockport.

Wonderful and helpful staff. I felt extremely comfortable and welcomed here. The staff was very accommodating. Since the inn is right on the beach you can’t get anything better than this. Step right onto your balcony and watch the sunrise or set. The inn is close enough to walk to Bear Skin neck and all the dining you could possibly need. Park your car when you arrive and don’t hop in it till you head home. I will certainly return and highly recommend. The place has an upbeat and homey atmosphere.

Amazing view, great staff, and a nice room with a kitchenette at a reasonable price. What’s not to love about this place?

This is the perfect place to stay in Rockport. The staff was awesome and helpful, giving us insight to where to eat local and where to shop. If you want to drift off to sleep every night hearing the ocean waves stay here! You dont even have to put your shoes on to get to the beach, litteraly right out your door. We strolled on the beach, the water is so clear. The view from our room was amazing! The room was very clean with plenty of comfort. The microwave and fridge came in very handy. Captain Bounty is the perfect location, right around the corner to Bearskin Neck. We spend many hours on our deck overlooking the ocean. A wonderfullly relaxing vacation. This place will not dissapoint!

We have stayed at a different waterfront place in Rockport for the last 10 years to celebrate our anniversary. Many times we have looked over at the Captain Bounty and noted that it was on the beach. So this year we made the switch and stayed at the Bounty. Sooo happy we made the switch! We stayed in a room on the 3^rd floor and walked into an amazing view. Water and boats and the sound of the waves crashing. Amazing. We spent most of our stay on our private deck. We did walk down to the beach directly in front of the hotel. Sandy, clean and did I mention the motel is directly located on it? Location is perfect for walking to bearskin neck shops and restaurants. Rooms are clean and very comfortable. Small fridge and microwave are great for bringing back leftovers and chilling champagne.
This will be our new place for our annual weekend in Rockport!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Captain Bounty. The Innkeepers were so so nice and accommodating, giving us suggestions for restaurants, hikes, and other things to do in Rockport.
The rooms are nicely furnished and decorated, and although a bit dated, it is very clean and has a nice modest feel to it.
We stayed on the first floor, which apparently had the least appealing beach view, but it was amazing none the less! The tide was in, so the waves were ebbing and flowing right underneath our balcony. A lot of time was spent just looking out into the Atlantic from our balcony.
Rockport is such a nice walking town, and the location of Captain Bounty made it so easy for us to enjoy the downtown area.
Would definitely come back, if the Lord wills!

If you are staying in Rockport, this is a great place to make your base. The location could not be better. You are literally right on the beach, and a very nice beach it is. You can walk right down without putting on shoes. We also had a private balcony on our room, so we could sit out there at night and overlook the beach. I think most if not all rooms have them, but I would check to make sure and request one.
The inn is also a block away from Bearskin Neck where all the shops and eateries are.
The owners/​operators were very friendly and helpful.
As far as the room goes, it was average in size, but it had a minifridge and microwave in addition to a TV/​DVD combo. The office has a bunch of DVDs you can borrow for free I might add. This was perfect for traveling with a small child and needing to store food and leftovers.
The only downside was there was no air-​conditioning, which I’m guessing you probably don’t need most of the year. But the week we happened to stay there it was pretty hot, even with the screen door and ceiling fan.
If there was air conditioning, I say 5 stars easily. But I’ll give it 4 ½.
Rockport is also a great place to spend a low key family vacation in this area. Highly recommended.

This place is all about location. It is a relatively small inn, but close to everything. Our room was basic, but very clean and nicely furnished. It also had a full size refrigerator, sink, dinner plates and other supplies in the cabinet. This was useful for when we brought freshly cooked lobster back from Roy Moore’s. We also had a nice view of the beach and the sea since the inn is on the ocean and a few blocks from Bear Skin Neck. The owner was nice and his two friendly dogs lounged in the lobby. I would definitely stay here again!
