Beautiful big updated kitchen, huge porch to sit on, have a big family and we all had a blast staying here. You can use the kayaks, beach chairs, beach towels, driveway...

A MUST to stay in if visiting the Northshore and want the beach house experience!! I highly recommend staying here.

Can't ask for a nicer location, close to be convenient yet still quiet and peaceful. The room we had was on the small side but nicely decorated with a nautical theme and small fridge, microwave and TV. Nothing fancy but just want we wanted. The motel is one of those rambling kind of places with lots of different decks that offer nice views of the town. A pleasant patio is in the back and has a little fountain that adds a rustic feel. The only problems we encountered was that the shower was really small. Probably the smallest shower enclosure I have ever been in. Probably would be tough for a really fleshy type person to get in. Another problem was that the toilet broke the last day we were there. it's obvious the plumbing is old and these things happen. I had to take the top off the tank and pull the chain inside by hand. No real big deal but playing around with toilets isn't one of the things I enjoy while traveling. I didn't see any staff around and we were about to leave so I didn't bother to look for help. This is a lovely and quaint motel, reasonably priced and with a great location. A cool place to stay if you are willing to possibly deal with some mischievous plumbing.

The Cove is a great option for staying in Rockport. It's a4+ rating in my book…read more I've enjoyed Front beach for 60+ years so staying directly across the street on a beautiful 2 day getaway couldn't be beat! We stayed in Rm 3, booked last minute and all that was available. Smart checkin is awesome and efficient. The room while small, was inviting, clean comfortable! AC was super, bed firm but comfy and water pressure great! The outside deck overlooking Front beach was perfect on a clear sunny August day! In season, beer and wine are offered. Nice Adirondack chairs, a few high top tables and other seating ida available to enjoy the view, eat your takeout, sip your coffee or beverage while Enjoying a relaxing view. Parking is a short walk away! Room has a micro, small fridge and kuerig. We will definitely return to enjoy the Cove in the future.

When we arrived, the door was locked, directing guests to use the info in their text or email to access their room, or to call the phone number on the door for 24/7 service. I hadn't received check-in info via text or email. When I called the number, it went directly to voicemail twice. Fortunately, a current guest of the hotel let me follow him in, and a housekeeper was able to get me the information I needed to access our room. It was two hours and twenty minutes past check-in time when the text arrived with check-in information. When I replied it would have been nice to have the check-in info prior the check-in time, or the phone answered, the person who replied said they were doing laundry out back and did not get the call. Another couple was experience the same issue as I attempted to check-in, so I believe this was not a one-off problem. If they're not going to have a lobby and front desk, I think they really need to have someone actually answer the phone and/or reply quickly. Our King Oceanfront room was on the second floor, leading onto the deck that seats thirty. We were the only ones using the deck, fabulous for watching the sunrise. but I would not have loved looking out at thirty people using it, between us and our ocean view, during a busier time of the season. I'd recommend getting a room on the third floor for the view and to avoid hearing people above walking. On our second night, guests were in the adjacent room and it felt like they were in the room with us, we could hear their television and every word they said. The walls are thin. The bed was very firm and the pillows are large and extremely firm. We found it very uncomfortable. I was very excited to stay here; I grew up in Rockport, going to Front Beach with my grandmother, and looked forward to being at this location and checking out the new hotel. We'll try a different place next time we visit.

I loved sitting on the patio in the morning having coffee and watching the sun rise and seeing the boats going by. The suite had its own entrance and it was easily accessible to the street. The guest house sits on a quiet residential street but it's also walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, front beach and a performance theater. I would definitely recommend the mooring stone guest house.

My wife and I picked this B&B at random while surfing the internet and looking for a place to crash outside of Boston. We lucked out more than I could have hoped for. Mooring Stone takes it name from a large stone in the front yard, the kind they would sink to the bottom of the port with a tree through it so boats could tie up...hence, mooring stone. Anywho... The house is a cute little gingerbread number, clean rooms, quiet, and far enough from the strip of shops and eateries in Rockport that you feel like you're in another town (even though it's just a couple of blocks away). The breakfast part of the equation is served in a salvaged coast guard radio instrument house in the back yard in the middle of a beautiful garden. What really makes the Mooring Stone stand out for me is the proprietor, Joyce. My wife and I hit it off with her within about two minutes of meeting her. She's a veritable fount of information about the area and can point tourists like us in the right direction. Moreover, we had so much fun chatting with her that we ended up spending almost two hours with her at breakfast (followed by a trip with her over to her house on the water at the port to see her renovation project). Sounds crazy, but we had more fun hanging out with her and talking about old New England houses than walking around town. I'm hoping that for our next trip to Boston we eschew staying in town and head back to visit this inn.

Best with apps that can give you the lowest price. I found calling the hotel first but checked on line and it was less expensive! One thing might be beneficial if their Signs on the property were much larger and possibly lite at night even with GPS I PASSED BY IT... and had to turn around. With this place among the trees and shrubs it would help with much better signage and lights. Color scheme is Nautical and pleasing to the eye. Area for gathering is quaint but could use abit of fresh flowers since it's spring and the dining area could use the same bright and fresh flowers it might cost more for this Inn but for the value your paying for a night could bolster its appeal much more....one can't alone take in the account visitors will come cause of the location it needs to be first rate and make it more curb appeal and when entering the register counter needs a vase of bright fresh flowers or lots of green plants. I WOULD NOT WASTE 1/2 of FRONT DESK COUNTER SELLING CANDLES FOR ANOTHER COMPANY! Focus on your own property and not promoting their merchandise! You are not a souvenir shop! The out door rooms by the entrance is like an old motel from the 1960's it lacks a welcome Matt of maybe a wreath on the doors, large pots scattered around with over flowing cascading flowers even those solar lights around the paved asphalt parking. Even small Christmas white lights around the windows outside from the sitting area... add more seaside items besides 10 Booklets fanned out on the coffee table. Imagination will truly make your stay much more memorable! ****It is nice but OUTDATED, Needs to update the front entrance ALOT, Needs more live flowers and plants in and around the property to stand out. Most important OUTSIDE LIGHTS, LARGER SIGNAGE! But I'm sure the owners are aware of its previous reviews which can be read.****
