It’s time to pack your bags because this beachfront Cape Cod resort is simply put, irresistible.
Welcome to Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club in Brewster, Massachusetts, USA. Situated on over 400 acres of stunning landscape, this historic 342-room property offers incredible views of Cape Cod Bay and endless opportunities for adventure, dining, and relaxation.
Ocean Edge Resort is Spacious & Private
Recognized by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the “Best Resorts in Massachusetts” and by Boston Magazine as “Best Resort, Cape Cod,” this award-winning property offers two distinct settings to call home.
At the historic AAA Four-Diamond Mansion Hotel, a collection of on-property room types—from guestrooms to suites to breezy villas—suit every taste for upscale comfort, while centrally located in Brewster, the family-oriented cozy Villages Villas (with 1, 2 and 3-bedroom options) put you in the heart of this sprawling property with amenities just footsteps away.
Bay Pines Beach
Enjoy a private stretch of shore just for guests that includes towels, chairs, and food and beverage service. Here you can stroll along the beach, relax on the sand, swim in the ocean, or splash it up with some water sports. For a quintessential Cape Cod experience, absolutely be sure to book a private bonfire here in the evening and enjoy cocktails and s’mores around the fire, exclusive to your group.
Elevated Coastal Cuisine
If you enjoy fresh seafood, locally sourced ingredients, and creative culinary creations, then you’re in for a treat at Ocean Edge, which features options ranging from casual snack cabanas to fine dining restaurants.
At Ocean Terrace, you can dine on elevated New England fare, including a grilled lobster roll with basil aioli, a bowl of traditional clam chowder, and oysters on the half shell. Feeling a little fancy? The Roscommon Room offers a turn-of-the-century style. Inspired by County Roscommon, Ireland, this gleaming wooden room serves as an extension of the Ocean Terrace. Sit back and enjoy the views of the Bay – this is one of the top places on the property to enjoy the sunset.
Perched atop the dunes of Cape Cod Bay, the Beach Bar offers relaxing, undisturbed views of the surrounding area (on clear days, Provincetown is visible on the horizon). Order a local cocktail and tuck your worries away. For a speakeasy-esque experience, head to the old-fashioned Bayzo’s Pub, where you can sip on the resort’s signature Bayzo’s Brew beer and indulge in delectable dishes like fried cod tacos and caprese bruschetta.
The Beach House Spa
Kick off your flip-flops and (re)discover your best self. Whether you’re craving relaxation or rejuvenation, the resort’s spa is your sanctuary. Offering an array of services from massages to facials and body treatments across five tranquil treatment rooms, their friendly therapists blend the healing powers of the sea with potent botanicals from the land. Its relaxation lounge is welcoming and calm, with accents from the ocean providing a peaceful mental retreat before or after services.
Choose the Beach House Signature Massage for a transformative experience that restores balance to your body through pressure point techniques while simultaneously nourishing your skin with a blend of mineral-rich seawater and coastal plant oils. On your way out, pop by the Beach House Spa Boutique for local body care products, organic skincare lines, and cozy loungewear to take home.
Amenities Galore at Ocean Edge Resort
You won’t run out of things to explore and do across this beautifully manicured 429-acre resort. Its Jack Nicklaus-designed private golf course is a main attraction, offering 18 holes of championship golf where the sights are as impressive as the challenge.
The Resort also features tennis and pickleball courts, biking trails, fitness classes, and organized activities for the whole family. If you’d like a relaxing soak, five sparkling pools beckon, two of which are heated and indoors.
Explore Brewster
Less than an hour away from Cape Cod’s many charming towns, historic sites, lighthouses, and nature preserves, Ocean Edge is well-positioned to explore Barnstable County when you’re ready to venture further afield.
Be sure to visit Brewster, a quaint town known for its vibrant community of artists and laid-back charm. With 300 acres of beaches and serene tidal pools gracing the shores of Cape Cod Bay—the Brewster Flats are the largest tidal flats in all of North America—along with an abundance of trails and captivating kettle ponds nestled amidst the forests of Nickerson State Park, Brewster is a haven of natural beauty.
Amidst its quaint streets, you’ll discover charming local shops, cafés, and museums, all contributing to the town’s timeless allure. Swing by the Brewster General Store for some quintessentially Cape Cod souvenirs.
While in the area, cycling the Cape Cod Rail Trail is a must-do. This 25-mile bike trail passes through the towns of Yarmouth, Dennis, Harwich, Brewster, Orleans, Eastham, and Wellfleet and is the absolute best way to see the Cape up close. Refuel post-ride with a chef-inspired lunch at The Kitchen Café in Brewster. We may have already said too much; we’ll leave the rest up to you to discover.
When you’re ready to unwind, book your seaside escape at Ocean Edge Resort. As the saying goes, “You can never have too much Cape Cod.”
