Historic Oceanfront Rooms

Ocean House Hotel at Bass Rocks offers rooms with king or queen beds, some featuring pull-out couches. First-floor rooms have patios with sliding glass doors, while second-floor rooms include open or covered balconies. All rooms include flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, and free toiletries. Select rooms provide direct ocean views of the Cape Ann coastline.

Seaside Breakfast Included

Guests start the day with a complimentary seaside breakfast featuring scones, muffins, yogurt, oatmeal, seasonal fruit, and fresh-brewed coffee. Nearby Gloucester restaurants serve fresh seafood, including local catches like striped bass, lobster, and bluefin tuna.

Pool, Golf & Whale Watching

The hotel has a heated seasonal outdoor pool, open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and a hot tub overlooking the ocean. Guests receive discounted access to Bass Rocks Golf Club. Whale watching tours depart nearby to Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary, where humpback, blue, and sperm whales are frequently spotted.

Near Beaches & Attractions

The hotel is a 10-minute drive from Rockport and 55 km from Logan Airport. Nearby landmarks include Good Harbor Beach (2.5 km), Cape Ann Whale Watch (2.5 km), and Ten Pound Lighthouse (2 km). At low tide, guests can walk to Salt Island to explore tide pools.

Fire Pit & Ocean Views

A granite fire pit on the clifftop patio offers sunset views over the Atlantic. Rooms feature private balconies or verandas, and some include separate living spaces. The outdoor pool and hot tub operate seasonally, with seating areas facing the ocean.

“This historic hotel presents custom-furnished rooms with generous suite layouts, most offering direct Atlantic views. Exclusive to the property are seaside breakfasts showcasing local fare. I think it is a remarkable access point to Gloucester's whale watching, as the hotel sits near the World Wildlife Fund's top destinations.”
