Serene center

Enjoyed our stay here. Excellent location in the midst of shopping, dining, arts. Quirkiness of the place adds to its charm. Recommended!

Location, location, location!

This nautical inspired apartment had tons of character and couldn’t have had a better location. A coffee shop was just steps outside the front door along with all the charming shops and restaurants of Rockport’s Bearskin Neck. Would definitely stay here again.

Favorite rental to date!

We LOVED our stay at the Orca and this property is our favorite to date! The Bearskin Neck area so neat. Theres so much to do, yet it’s quaint and peaceful. The Orca had everything we needed and communication with the property manager was amazing. We loved the decor and vibe and hope to stay there again soon!

Perfect for a weekend

Stayed with our two kids. Loved the quaint space, had everything we need for a short stay. The location can’t be beat, a quick walk to the ocean, lots of shops nearby. Only downside is parking is not directly near property, but we didn’t have issues finding parking nearby.

Wicked Place!

What an awesome aka WICKED step back in time at The Orca and with every modern convenience. I really enjoyed my stay! The JAWS touch for a huge fan like myself was great. Great place to relax and soak in the NE Charm and the area is soaked in rich history.

West comes to East

Of course a great location! Good thing we didn't have a car though, absolutely no parking. Big bed for two and bunk bed in the other smallish room. Nice and comfortable furniture, good TV and nice split A/C unit that worked well on heat too. Kitchen was nice and stocked well. Bathroom was divided between shower toilet and sink vanity, great for two people sharing.

Best of Rockport

Great location. Walk to everything in Rockport. Fresh lobster 3 minutes walk away. Really fun nautical decor. This apartment is a little more masculine, darker wood than the other two in this building. We loved the look. Parking is blocks away but you don't need your car unless you're checking out another town. Full kitchen with new appliances. Photos are accurate.

Fabulous spot

We had a wonderful last-minute getaway for one night here. We had two adults and a young child and had plenty of space. The property was well-appointed with many thoughtful touches. Being right in the heart of bearskin neck was the best. We got ice cream and strolled back around the corner to our small front patio to eat comfortably. I didn't think many shops would be open in mid May, but there were plenty of places to shop and eat. Plus, street parking before April 15 is free. The Orca was a wonderful place to stay and we are already recommending it to friends!

Great location in Rockport

We were happy with our rental in Rockport, right on the cool street with little shops and 5 min walk from Front beach. Great ice cream place steps from the front door. The place itself was clean and comfortable. Nice porch table and chairs to hang out at by the door. The one thing i would warn other parents of, is that there is no door or curtain to close the bunk beds off from the rest of the space, and I hadn't grasped that from the listing. It can also be challenging to find non metered parking, especially Sat or Sunday. Best we did was bout 10 min walk from the place. That's the trade-off, though to be right in that street.

Charming Storybook Apartment!

I am local to Cape Ann but needed a last minute place to put up some visitors. My friend stayed with his 6 and 8 year old daughters. They LOVED the place. It is adorable. Very well decorated and charming. The host has done a great job making a smaller space comfortable, and it is right in the heart of charming Bearskin neck. My friend described it as like staying in a Storybook! I visited the property as well and it was well appointed with modern appliances (smart TV, newer kitchen appliances). Matt the host was very responsive to any queries and made the whole process easy. Really the only downside is not having a parking spot, but Matt made the parking situation very clear in the listing. And being in the heart of so many fun shops, restaurants and beaches really makes parking much less of an issue. I would highly recommend the Orca!

Perfect Stay in a Perfect Seaside Town

Nestled in the heart of scenic Rockport, MA, this rental exceeded all expectations for a perfect coastal retreat. From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the quaint charm that this property offered. The location is truly unbeatable. Situated just steps away from the picturesque coastline, we were able to enjoy morning walks along the water and sunsets every evening. The quaint shops and delicious seafood restaurants of downtown Rockport were also within easy walking distance, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in the local culture. The rental itself was immaculate and beautifully decorated. It felt like a true home away from home, with every detail carefully thought out. The living spaces were spacious yet cozy, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it convenient to prepare meals and snacks for the kids. Overall, our experience at this rental in Rockport, MA, was nothing short of exceptional. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a family vacation, this property offers the perfect blend of comfort, charm, and unparalleled location. We can't wait to return and create more unforgettable memories in this coastal paradise.

Perfect Offseason Getaway

My husband and I stayed at The Orca in early April and had a magnificent time. The property is very centrally located on Bearskin Neck. It's cozy and charmingly decorated. The kitchen is well-equipped, the living room and dining areas are spacious and nice, and the beds are comfortable. The shower stall is small, as some other reviewers mentioned, but that wasn't a big deal. The rest of the bathroom is large, with plenty of room to get ready. We really, really enjoyed out stay!
