Great family location

Our family had a great stay at the Orca! Wonderful location with walk ability around town and just a short drive to other excursions. The perfect set up for our family with 2 kids. Matt was prompt with responses and was able to help us with whatever was needed. If we visit Rockport again, we will be back to this spot!

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.

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.

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!

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.

The home is very Central and an easy walk to everything. Beds are very comfortable and had a very quaint and nice atmosphere. The kitchen was sparsely amended but the only thing that we really missed having was a toaster. Get ready to drop your stuff off and then park five or six blocks away. It's not as bad as it sounds.

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!

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.
