Ocean House

Clearly this is a wonderful hotel…it’s hard not to be impressed from the minute you arrive. The staff was very welcoming and the hotel is beautiful. We loved our room, 2nd floor grand deluxe ocean view with a huge balcony. Stunning. Housekeeping A+. Loved the nightly eye masks on our pillows and our room was always spotless and well appointed. Our favorite server was actually the bartender at The Bistro, Brad. Another A+. So attentive, so friendly, great drinks. We enjoyed eating our dinner at the bar one night. Beach staff was also A+ with a shout out to Sebastian and Tyler. Coast Restaurant? It gets a D- The servers were an odd bunch…it’s hard to say if it was them or just the program there in general, but there was never just one clear server, there was always someone different coming to our table and seemingly unclear of what the last guy had done. We ordered the 4 course tasting menu and there was so much time between courses it drove us crazy with one course getting brought to me twice. The “main course” portions were so tiny they seemed like canapés. Dessert choices were so eclectic (who really wants cheese for dessert??) there was really nothing we were even interested in but we had to pick one each. Neither was good. We honestly couldn’t wait for our meal to end. Way overpriced for the level of food and service. All in all we’d return to Ocean House. We loved it, but we’d skip Coast Restaurant.

It was truly an indulgent experience. Better than I imagined. The surrounding area was just as you’d imagine Watch Hill would be. It was serene and peaceful. The staff was exceptional and welcoming.

Can not say enough about how amazing our experience was at Ocean House. My daughter and I went to celebrate our birthdays and it was the best decision because we will have wonderful memories. The staff is extremely kind and professional and they pay attention to every single detail. The room was gorgeous and spotless with a large terrace with a view of the beach and sunset. So much to do on the property that we didn’t have enough time for. Wine tastings, lunch at the beach… calendar full of events. Brian at the concierge made sure our every need was attended to. Extremely gracious and professional and made us feel so at home we did not want to leave! Just a great vibe there. We are counting the days to go back!

Perfect destination for our honeymooon. We enjoyed our short stay at Ocean House and cannot wait to be back in Summer.

Serenely beautiful hotel which exceeded all of our expectations. Don’t get me wrong this hotel is very expensive and we booked the carousel suite because - it seemed to suit our family size and age of our children (17 & 19) and although perfect in every way was worth every penny for the experience. Upon arriving at the hotel which is not only stunning but immaculately presented we are greeted by exceptional staff members who really make this hotel stand out. We were guided to a lovely sitting area and offered refreshments, very welcoming after a long drive. We were kindly escorted to our suite by a lovely lady who went through everything. The suite was not only aesthetically beautiful but clean, HUGE and welcoming. We were greeted with a lovely welcome card, cheeseboard as well as an open bar. The Hotel arranged balloons and a cake for my daughter’s birthday and everything could not have been more perfect. A big thank you to Angie and the chef who sourced this! Bed linens were fresh and new as were the sumptuous bath robes and towels. The beds were extremely comfortable and the hotel was so quiet and peaceful for such a size. Gym was perfect as was the lap pool and both had wonderfully thought out amenities like protein bars, wipes and cool towels. A metal refillable water cup was provided for each guest in the room designed to be filled up around the hotel which was not only a lovely touch but super environmentally friendly. The Bistro was beautiful both food and exceptional staff. We particularly appreciated the hotels unique offer of using one of the BMW’s as our hire car was huge. The hotel has many gem qualities from the free pastries and coffees in the morning/ afternoon to the wonderful arranged activities. The whole ambiance of the place just exudes elegance and relaxation with incredible attention to detail. Some of the other guests did not adhere to the hotels dress code of resort chic which was such a shame as this hotel truly deserves respect. The beach area is beautiful and was very quiet (April!) outside areas were meticulously maintained even though out of season. I particularly enjoyed watching the black mink playing in the sand dunes each morning at the back of the hotel. We have stayed in many 5* hotels but this one really sets the standard for how a 5* really should be. The staff and wonderful touches really set it apart and I hope my family and I will return here one day!
