Ocean Edge Resort Review

Ocean Edge Resort Review

Ocean Edge Resort is located in Brewster, Massachusetts and is one of the most epic, family-friendly, and beautiful properties on Cape Cod. I had the pleasure of staying here during a winter weekend to get the true off-season experience. Between the overall quiet and peaceful atmosphere, there was an abundance of beauty and admiration to absorb for such a prestigious resort. I was able to enjoy a stunning library filled with books, endless fireplaces to relax by, delicious onsite dining and more. The resort conveniently offers indoor pools, private beach access, a gorgeous spa as well as a winter inter igloo dining experience at The Frost Bar to give you a well-rounded winter trip to the Cape.

Brewster, Massachusetts offers some popular activities to enjoy including Cape Cod National Seashore, hiking or biking the Cape Cod Rail Trail, and visiting the Brewster Historical Society as well as classic activities like fishing, boating, shopping, and dining.  There are many beaches in Brewster that are great for swimming, sunbathing, and beach-combing with a lot of great seafood restaurants and local shops in the area, as well.

Ocean Edge Spa

No visit to a luxury resort is complete without a full-service spa for guests to enjoy. The Ocean Edge spa is located across the street from the mansion and offers a variety of treatments such as massages, facials, and body treatments.

We enjoyed a wonderful hot stone massage during our stay and I added a bit of a deep tissue massage for my neck and shoulders since I sit at my desk and type a lot. They use high-quality products and the staff is highly trained to ensure that guests have a pleasant experience. It was so relaxing and made me feel refreshed immediately after. 

The spa also has a relaxation room, where guests can unwind before or after their treatments. We enjoyed a nice glass of champagne in our robes to truly enjoy the moment of peace.

Dining at Ocean Edge Resort

The Roscommon Room

The Roscommon Room at Ocean Edge Resort is a private dining room that is available for special occasions and events but is also available for daily breakfast lunch and dinner, open to the public. The room is named after the Roscommon family, the original owners of the property that became Ocean Edge Resort. It’s a sophisticated and elegant space that can seat up to 80 guests and features beautiful chandeliers, high ceilings, and large windows that offer views of the resort’s grounds and the ocean. We enjoyed breakfast here in the mornings with both sweet and savory dishes like french toast, eggs Benedict and hot cappuccinos as well as fabulous winter-themed cocktails like marshmallow espresso martinis and hot toddies in the evenings. 

It’s definitely ideal for hosting events such as weddings, business meetings, and family celebrations. The venue can also be configured to accommodate a variety of event types such as a banquet, reception, or conference. The resort’s culinary team will work with you to create a customized menu that meets your specific needs and preferences. They offer a variety of options such as buffets, plated meals, and hors d’oeuvres. The Roscommon Room is also equipped with all the necessary audio-visual equipment to make your event a success!

In addition to the Roscommon Room, Ocean Edge Resort also has other venues for events such as The Lawn, The Tent and The Beach. They can accommodate a variety of event types and sizes, and the resort’s event planning team will work with you to make sure your event is a success.

Winter Igloos at The Frost Bar

The Frost Bar at Ocean Edge now offers a winter wonderland with igloos and a unique dining experience. You have the ability to reserve igloos whether you’re staying at Ocean Edge or not, for 6 people or less. Each igloo is equipped with couches, pillows, blankets, small tables, a small space heater and a bluetooth speaker to play music. While the igloo has the space heater, I highly recommend dressing very warm!

During our experience we ordered the cheese and charcuterie board, raw bar which comes with a half a dozen oysters, six jumbo shrimp cocktail, fresh lobster, lemon and traditional cocktail sauce and green apple mignonette, the buffalo tater tot basket as well as some dessert and cocktails. I highly recommend the Ginger Hot Toddy and their famous Jack Frost frozen cocktail.

My Honest Review of Ocean Edge Resort

Ocean Edge Resort is one of the most iconic and well-known resorts on Cape Cod, so I was excited to visit during off-season. Cape Cod in the winter is truly a hidden gem and I always love coming here to create a safe space of pleasure and nature when all the tourists are gone. Obviously, the resort was very quiet since I visited during the winter with a few families, couples and friends here and there which made for a tranquil atmosphere. I enjoyed reading on my Kindle by the fireplace in the library, indulging in a hot stone massage at the spa, enjoying a glass of champagne and fruit in my robe in my room, walking down the private entrance to the beach to watch stunning sunsets, as well as the dining experiences at all 3 restaurants I covered.

I would definitely recommend this hotel for couples who want a high-end romantic winter getaway or a group of friends looking to relax. The resort is pricey with add-ons for dining and special activities, so even a one-night stay or a visit for the spa and Frost Bar would make for a great experience in the winter.  

I think experiencing Ocean Edge during the summer when they have more activities, sunny beach days, the beach bar open, etc. will offer a more well-rounded view of the resort. While the activities they have during the winter are so lovely, I anticipate the summer really shining with all there is to do. I will have to report back once I visit!

So long, sweet summer 💔  It is rare to be able to fully anticipate the outcome of our decisions. There are always pros and cons. Upsides and downsides. And there’s always the question of, “what if this doesn’t work out?”  But one thing I knew going into it, was just how much we would love living in a coastal Massachusetts town. I never had a doubt. I knew from day one this would be the best decision we ever made. And it was.  #southshorema #coastallife #coastallifestyle #coastalliving #paradiseonearth

Welcome to Gloucester, Massachusetts 🌊🦞🛟  Gloucester is one of the most beautiful coastal places on the north shore and one of my favorite places in general! There’s so much to do year-round but summer and early fall is when the area really shines.  Here’s a few things I suggest doing:  🏨Stay or grab a meal and a cocktail at @beauport_hotel - It is hands down one of my favorite places in Mass. A pool or beach day here will make all your summer dreams come true  🚶‍♀️Check out the coffee shops and boutique stores downtown - Right within walking distance from Beauport!  🚘 Drive along Atlantic Road - A scenic route that winds along the coast, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and rocky coastline.  ⛱️ Visit Niles Beach - A popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking in Gloucester. The beach is located in a quiet, residential area and offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.  🛥️ Book a boating excursion - Gloucester is a great place to go boating, and there are many companies that offer boating excursions for tourists. You can choose from a variety of options, including whale watching, fishing, and sightseeing tours.  🏰 Explore Hammond Castle - A medieval-style castle located on the coast of Gloucester. The castle was built in the 1920s by John Hays Hammond Jr., a wealthy inventor, and features an impressive collection of art and antiques.  ⚓️ Check out Fisherman’s Memorial - A statue located in Gloucester that pays tribute to the city’s fishing industry. The statue features a fisherman looking out to sea, and it is a popular spot for taking photos.  🪨 Check out Rafe’s Chasm - A natural wonder located on the coast of Gloucester. The chasm is a narrow crevice in the rocks that leads to a small cove where you can see the waves crashing against the shore.  🦪 Get dinner at Seaport Grille - A popular waterfront restaurant in Gloucester that serves fresh seafood and other local specialties. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating with stunning views of the harbor!  ✔️Save this for your adventures on the north shore of Massachusetts!  #northshorema #gloucester #gloucesterma #capeann #
