I often find the Yelp reviews are more critical than other sites for hotels specifically, so maybe I should be checking these more often before I make a reservation. Because, as others here have noted, it really feels like false advertising. It's called Ocean Edge, but the actual hotel rooms are quite expensive, and if you end up at a "villa", you'll realize that they're not just separate from the main hotel, they're over a mile away, in a location that's nowhere near the ocean. Moreover, they just look like a low end apartment complex with a name like "Cape Cod Pointe" or something. And that might seem like a small thing, but I just hated it aesthetically; I wanted to feel like I was on vacation, but instead it felt like I regressed in life. More substantively, at least I could see an argument for staying here. The location, while it would take an hour to walk to the beach from my room, did offer drivability to the sights of the island, while being away from highway noise. The suite indeed felt like an apartment, and had a full kitchen, which oddly had plates and silverware but not pots or pans. It even had laundry, which for the long road trip I was on was helpful. And when I forgot to buy a travel laundry detergent, I found some single use packs included, so that was great. Temperature control was passable, and the water was certainly hot. A few dings marked the room. One aspect of it being a hotel was that I did get room cleaning while I was out, which felt like an invasion of privacy just because this place didn't have a hotel vibe, but I guess it makes sense that they do this. I have no comment on the main hotel, but in dodgy weather I don't think it would have been worth three times the price of a villa. My guess is that I should have looked more at smaller boutique hotels or Airbnbs. read more

This was possibly the worst hotel stay experience I've had in all my 35 years of life. We checked in to "Arbor Village" I believe was the name and had to take a shuttle it was so far away from main hotel grounds. Upon arrival of the "hotel room" - I use this loosely as it was essentially section 8 housing. We were greeted with a dirty apartment, a large wad of black tangled hair on the bathroom wall, a large wad of seemingly dog / animal hair in the foyer, a loud door in the foyer that slammed loudly and shook the apartment unit upon opening, and a musty smell that I can only assume was mold. Of course, I immediately requested to switch rooms to the main hotel grounds. We checked into an actual hotel room that was clean and normal. The breakfast, beach bar and ocean terrace were all fine experiences. The beach is the reason we return to this hotel property and did not disappoint ... until my husband was assaulted by another hotel guest's child, left unattended, on the beach. We were sitting on the beach when a child threw a large rock the size of my palm right at my unassuming husband's face. The child's parents did nothing. I immediately jumped up to attend to my husband and walk him back to our hotel room to ice his face. After he was situated, I explained the scenario to the concierge and a manager who was walking by. They took down my number and told me they'd reach out after corresponding with the hotel beach bar manager. I never heard back from anyone. Upon check out the next day, I followed up only to be left waiting in the lobby for 30+ minutes and then accosted by the hotel room booking manager. He was dismissive, haughty, rude, condescending, inappropriate, unprofessional and misogynistic. He said, "You should've contacted the police" "I don't know what you want me to do" "What do you want to get from this" when I simply asked him what hotel protocol or recourse would be as this was a hotel guest assaulting another hotel guest on hotel property. My husband's glasses were broken and he was bleeding. They did nothing to correct the situation, apologize or help. I would never stay here again and I am so disappointed as I was excited to show my husband the hotel that my late father, mother and I would return to each summer in my childhood. read more

The Mansion at Ocean Edge in Brewster, MA features a five-acre lawn called The Front Lawn. The Front Lawn is open to the public and offers a variety of amenities like tented areas for shade and lawn games. Lawn games include frisbee, horseshoes, giant Jenga, croquet, volleyball, badminton, cornhole, and so much more. Guests can enjoy lite bites and drinks from ordering at the kitchen shed. Pizza is prepared at an outdoor oven. I ordered the 10" hand tossed Fig and Prosciutto pizza ($18.00) and half a bottle of Whispering Angel rosé ($18.00). The pizza had sliced fig, shaved prosciutto, honey ricotta, garlic olive oil, and baby arugula. It was very tasty. It took about 15 minutes for the pizza to be ready. The rosé was poured into a plastic cup. The staff members were very friendly. I really adored my time on The Front Lawn on a weekday evening. When we arrived about 5:30pm, it wasn't too crowded yet but as it got later in the evening, groups of people started to appear. We relished our food and drink and played some lawn games. It was so nice to be outside and take in the fresh air. The Front Lawn is a great spot for families and offers a relaxed, open-air atmosphere. There are even staff members to teach guests how to play games or there if you need an extra player. read more

Gorgeous views, beautiful surroundings. The resort is a crown jewel on the Cape. Amenities are fabulous, food was excellent and hospitality was great. If you are a member of the Hilton rewards they have started a new partnership and you can receive points and rewards as a Hilton Honors member. read more

Great place! Pricey but it's SO MUCH BETTER than most places in Cape Cod. It was a relief to stay in a place like that after being on the road for hours. I took one star off only because there was a mishap with ordering through a third party site, and it took almost an hour to sort things out. Kids were so tired and just wanted to go to sleep. Make sure to reserve a room with the hotel directly and not through the 3rd party. read more

The interesting and nice things are that it has amazing amenities and choices of things to do. The not so nice is for the very high prices you get paper thin walls and people loudly walking on your head at night above you to keep you awake. To add to it the heat and air conditioning units are old style motel and extremely loud. So loud that you wake up dozens of times during the night and lose a lot of sleep. I would have thought it would have been central air but alas that's only a dream. read more

It had been awhile since we were back in the area and Oceans Edge seemed like a perfect spot for a quick one night stay. The rooms are dated, but seemed clean and provided everything we wanted ... except hot water. Without having used any hot water, we tried to draw a bath. It didn't work until we used every pot and pan to bring boiling water in about ten trips to the tub. The manager was apologetic and even offered us an extra night stay for free at an upgraded room. We followed up in person twice and through three calls and they never called us back, so we went onto the next stop of our trip. We would give it another try, as maybe this was a one off error, but I'm not holding my breath. (I'll edit this if they ever do contact us again) If you're looking for a room and don't care about this sort of thing, give it a try. Maybe you'll get lucky. If nothing else, there are really good restaurants in the area read more

Ocean Edge Resort - Barely warm water here requires 5 trips from the kitchen to the tub to get it hot - Resorts Near Me - Brewster, Massachusetts

My family and I attended a wedding at Ocean Edge Resort. I will start with the wedding was beautiful on the beach, regardless of the weather. It rained on and off all day and when it came time for the wedding, we were uncertain if the wedding would take place on the beach or in doors. The shuttle driver was also not sure (wouldn't the resort notify the drivers if the wedding was moved)? They apparently did not (especially since it was raining) and we were dropped off at the registration desk, until we knew for sure if we should go to the beach for the ceremony. We made it to the beach eventually and the drizzle continued, but we stopped at the beach bar for a cocktail before the wedding took place---The beach bar was fun before we were told to go to the beach for the ceremony, (which did take place on the beach)---- and it was absolutely beautiful!!! . The reception was also beautiful and the food was great at the reception. The wedding experience was absolutely wonderful and we are so happy for the bride and groom--that the wedding day was as they planned!! I am going to write another review about the accommodations, since I would like to separate the wedding experience (which was wonderful) from the accommodations! Looks like I can only write one review, so I would like to continue with the accommodations..... We reserved the accommodations well in advance of the wedding and found the the 'wedding rates' were a bit steep (wedding rates very high) and the stay could not be less than 3 nights, no problem, we were able to see family members from all over the country early. My adult children were attending from other areas of the country, as well, but they did not plan to be there for more than one or two nights, so what was their option (very high priced other rooms, if that was even an option)? Stay with their parents was the solution, so we had 4 adults in one of the village accommodations. We made it work, but it was difficult. Why would you not offer rooms for less than 3 nights for a wedding? This was not a vacation for all of us and three night stay is more than most of needed to be there for a wedding we wanted to attend. We checked in and were very surprised that the facilities extended for miles. Our accommodations were NOT close to any of the festivities, nor were we close to the beach or pools (we were in Britterige Villages). There was a pool close to where we stayed, but we were informed this pool was for members ONLY. A place to eat near us was for members only, as well (that was not clearly stated). While we were led to believe that there is a 'shuttle' to get us around, the shuttle experience was not what we expected. There were no regular shuttles scheduled, you needed to call for a shuttle when needed. Shuttles were not always available. I heard some couples were very late to scheduled wedding events due to lack of shuttle drivers. On the day of the wedding, our driver told us that they were not prepared to get everyone to where they needed to be . Many of our family needed to drive to the events (thankfully some had cars). As for the accommodations, someone in another review suggested that the walls were paper thin and I certainly can confirm that. The family in the next room seemed to include a baby and a toddler that we heard loud and clear each morning (crying and screaming). My time away is precious and I certainly could not sleep with this noise. As an older adult, I also found that the accommodations were not conducive to older people. Stairs to get into the unit (from the parking lot) and out of the units did not work form me (lots of stairs that are not included in your material). Maybe we missed handicapped option in the villages when we booked, yet we are not handicapped, it was still a lot.....for an older adult. Last but not least, I would like to say that any employee we encountered on the property were lovely, respectful and accommodating. In addition, a place to get coffee on site (close to my room) would be so appreciated, since after two cups of coffee in my room, the kuerig stopped working! Again, this was about the wedding we attended, which was wonderful, but the accommodations could have been better ( and cheaper) and the proximity to all amenities should be spelled out. Nothing was close to the villages. One really needs a car to get to a pool or to the beach, shuttles are not reliable, or so it seems. Since it was not a particularly good pool or beach weekend, I may be more silent about this, but I did need a car to get to the beach( just to see it), and would most likely have needed a car to get to the closest pool (not for members only) read more

Arbor Villas. Stay and Play golf packages. New Golf director has no clue how to run a business. package is "unlimited golf" but he charges for any "replay golf" $45. The villas are one bedroom and the sleep sofa has no support. Not worth sleeping on. Bring an air mattress. The reservation desk charges your card with a deposit and they forget to remove the charge. pay attention and good luck getting this removed. The clubhouse has a restaurant called The Lynx. $14 for a hot dog. Fantastic? Heck no! Very expensive to stay here and the value is horrible. Clueless management with too many people not knowing what the rates are for rooms or golf. read more

Okay, so the only reason we stayed here was a family member was getting married there. It turns out it was a beautiful, plush hotel. The room was gorgeous. So why not five stars? Well, we arrived at check in time along with most of the family members only to find that none of our rooms were ready for us. They still hadn't been cleaned and set up. Ugh! Really?! After the long multi hour drive there?! Anyway, we went out and got something to eat and came back two hours later. And guess what... the room was still not ready. The problem was the food wasn't sitting right. So I told them I was gonna be sick and needed my room. Sure enough they got us in a room within 15 minutes. Man, nice hotel but c'mon. If you have a check in time, have the damn rooms ready for exhausted travelers to get right in. Be more professional. read more

Left multiple messages with managers, front desk, and an email to site. You guys said you had my shirts and refuse to send them. Was told i would be emailed for further info, never happened. Left message with the director or manager, never called back. Left email with website, no email back. Called a total of 6 times now with different results. Left on hold for 6 minutes. Hung up on. Transferred several times. Stay was ok but place was def on B team while we where there. Can someone contact me please. read more

3 stars due to disorganization and lack of communication at the resort...however, as noted at the end, would come back. No Yelp page for Roscommon so writing on here. My boyfriend's fish entree (Halibut) could have used a side of veggies and some more sauce. My native haddock was good. I wasn't expecting basically home fries as lobster potato salad however very tasty and different in a good way. Two very tiny pieces of lobster in there. Restaurant is Small. Only maybe ten tables and the bar. I came to the resort as a kid and have fond memories. 30 years later, this past Friday-Tuesday we stayed in Blueberry pond villages room on the top level. Nice room. Front desk doesn't tell you much unless asked when you check in and it's a Large place. Not much parking In Our unit. We had to park in the no park area in front of our place on the weekend. We asked for late checkout and at 11am the cleaning ladies were not aware we asked for that and were knocking on the door so they had to wait an hour for us. I felt bad but we were told late checkout was fine. Beach shuttle. Oh my god. We had no idea where to meet the shuttle. Assumed the front desk. Nope. Shuttle pick up spots in designated areas. The front desk said it runs every 20 min. The driver said every hour. Ok. He dropped us off at 2 o'clock at the beach and we said we would be back waiting for him at 3 o'clock so at 2:58 he apparently dropped someone off at the beach and took off without us when we got there right at three and he told us he would wait for us a few extra minutes. Sooo we waited an hour for him in the parking lot. Enraged. When he came back at 4 o'clock... he apologized and said there was a miscommunication with the dispatcher, but yeah, I kept calling the front desk and asking where he was and they said he was on his way. On that note, half the time the front desk does not pick up because I called numerous times and no one picked up the phone. Mansion pool is small with screaming kids but it's nice they put towels out for you. Other pools ok. Two hot tubs were out of commission for days. Bins of dirty towels full for what seemed like days outside. Visible for the public to see. Need to clean the bugs in the back stairwells leading down to the pond. Quite gross. Tried to paddle board and it says open until 6 but we went down to blueberry Pond rental at 5 and the shack was closed. Rentals and using facilities and where to go was not communicated well. Ocean terrace beautiful and was a nice place to go at night. Love the fires on the deck. Beach Bar is stunning. Loved the view there. Cute place overall. Just needs better communication. Even with all the mishaps I would come back. Now that I know the drill. Spent a lot of time trying to figure the place out. read more

Spent two nights for a weekend "destination wedding". $500 per night! For that, expect exceptional accomodations and good treatment. General staff and worker-bees were great. Mid-level staff (registration desk, room phone responders) short and 'snippy'. Room was pleasant and clean- but: 1) tub very slippery at first (prob hair conditioner from previous occupant) 2) balcony screen removed, on side; when replaced,fell out onto drinks on wobbly table. Sorta fixed upon complaint. 3) unit number effaced from phone directory card 3) unit coffee maker provided: but small capacity (6 oz?) and only decaf coffee packets. Regular (good!) coffee availale upon request (and much scurrying on her part) next day by pleasant room lady. Enough. Too much. Find another Resort! read more

Staying at the resort, spent a lot of money. Unable to get into our hotel room multiple times. Each time an engineer has to come out and reprogram the door lock because they were hacked. Their words not mine. Completely unacceptable! An expensive resort like this should know what they're doing and should have safeguard in place. The hacking incident happened over a week ago, and we were never informed that this was a problem on check-in. I was told later on that various systems throughout the resort are having issues. We are now unable to go in and out of our hotel room because the door locks just don't work. They were able to get us in finally but we have no keys at work and cannot leave and re-enter. We had this experience on the first day and the third day of a three day stay. The last thing to know is that housekeeping kept on throwing out all our food each day we were here after we just bought it. read more

Here to attend a wedding. Arrived early yesterday, knowing check in time was 4PM. Fine. I was happy to go to the beach bar for a late lunch to enjoy the gorgeous view. Came back to the front desk at 4:15. Room in Arbor Village not ready. All around me were other weary travelers experiencing the same situation. Really unacceptable at this price point, and I said so. I asked for a room that was ready or a refund. Voilá, they found a different room for me in the Arbor Village. The village is very, very far from the mansion (15 minute drive?). Villa is spacious with old-fashioned heat/ac units. Very musty smell. Broken screen on the sliding glass door. Shuttle was supposed to pick us up to takes to the ceremony last night on the beach. A group of 10 of us waited for way too long (including some of the wedding party) and drove instead and we were a bit late for the ceremony because of no shuttle service. There is a coffee maker in the room with powdered creamer. No ice machine anywhere I could find so I went over to the Arbor pool bar to get some ice. I was really expecting more amenities at this expensive resort. Will not return unless the staff and rooms are overhauled. read more

I stayed for a long weekend with my wife and two kids. We were in the Arbor villages part of the resort which is across from the mansion and about a 7 minute drive. Our room was nice with a large queen bed and the living room was good size. We enjoyed the kitchen and made good use of it. The rooms are a little dated, but we are not fancy people. We enjoyed being close to the Arbor pool, which was very nice. The beach was a short drive and you had an option to take the shuttle. The mansion has valet which makes it easy to visit if you have restaurant reservations. The beach was nice and the servers were great. I can see why a lot of people go there for the sunsets. It is really beautiful and by far our favorite thing about the resort. We had great family time walking on the beach, enjoying the sunset and hanging on the beach in the late afternoon. I can't wait to go back read more

We have been to oceans edge several times with our family. The mansion side is lovely - nice rooms, great pools for kids. During the off season (school vacation weeks, etc), they also have great programming for kids. I would recommend it highly - especially outside the busy July-Aug rush. read more

Worst family vacation ever! They overcharged me for one and could never get this resolved no matter how many times I called and try. Doesn't seem that they have anyone in charge. There were bees all over the patio, making it impossible to eat outside even after we brought it to their attention they really couldn't care less. The rooms were horrible. They smelled so terribly. Not sure if it was dampness, but it was horrible and difficult to sleep again I brought it to their attention and they did nothing. I can honestly say that this place is a total rip off. I do not recommend. I'm sure there's better places to stay on the Cape, but this is not one. read more

Wizarding Week 2025: All the best people and features: The main characters: "Dumbledore", Professor Steve, Professor Cory "McGonagall", Professor Carolyn. The Ros Common waitstaff: especially Brittany W (most attentive and made the best Butter Beer) and Ricky B (very attentive and friendly). The front desk at check-in and check-out, the concierge during the scavenger hunt, and all the staff in the main and ancillary halls, and the cleaning staff - all friendly smiles while being efficient in their work. Check-in: the customized letter, the chocolate toads! And all the smiles and welcomes! The room: perfect setup for grandparents and a young wizard. "I love this room!" our wizard exclaimed. Grandma loved the bath tub! And more chocolates with a welcome note - much appreciated. AND later in the day, a Happy 8th Birthday balloon and cookies for our young wizard. She was so very grateful to be welcomed and remembered. "Best Birthday Ever!" The Sorting Hat Ceremony was joyful and felt so real. Our wizard was expecting she'd be a Gryffindor, but was actually sorted a Ravenclaw. After we downloaded the Ravenclaw traits and read them to her - she was delighted that the sorting hat was correct! She IS a Ravenclaw!!! And she proceeded to run over to other Ravenclaws to introduce herself. I wonder if you realize how valuable a lesson you gave the young wizards, by sorting them into many houses (not just Harry's Gryffindor) - it taught them so many lessons about being flexible and making new friends in unexpected ways. The crafts were fun, even with a glue gun glitch during wand making - great pivot to paint! The scavenger hunt brought surprises and collaboration among the staff and fellow parents and young wizards. "Look up!" was a popular hint. The movies were relaxed and joyful - thanks for that most excellent flavored rock candy and popcorn. Never had such flavorful rock candy before - where did you get it?! The pool was clean and another place for wizards to make friends while parents and grandparents caught their breath. And at check-out - more cookies and a nice note asking us to come back soon! And finally - signing up and making special requests for a West Wing room was easy and pleasant. We will be back - we promise read more

On Jan 20th 2026 I made a personal visit to Ocean Edge Mansion in Brewster, MA for my wife and I 34th Anniversary thinking everything was good to go, but found out 4 days before there had been no discussion to solidify dining option at the mansion nor had discussed to me what I wanted to do such as a spa treatment that I wanted for my wife. They said a Concierge representative was going to call and discussed and make arrangement, haha right, they never retired calls that I had made. Finally, I got a hold of the representative and she said that there was no availability for an Anniversary dinner for my 34 years of marriage and that she was going to call a local restaurant and see if I could get a reservation from another restaurant at 1100 the next morning she never got back to me as she promised she would. I called back and canceled my reservation. They don't care about your personal accomplishments to which I wanted to celebrate a milestone and totally had no interest for me to celebrate my 34 years of marriage. So, I thought what if this was management or ownerships wedding Anniversary of 34 years and they got treated like I did? Shame on them, and please do yourselves a favor find a better place to celebrate your Anniversary. read more

Stayed there and was turned away from the mansion terrace for breakfast. You spend $500 to stay and can't get breakfast?? Steer clear.

Once again the front desk crew leave a lot to be desired in terms of friendliness. Had to have security bring me a blanket because there was none in my room and must say - they were super nice. Otherwise the rooms were still very cleaner and the best is comfortable. read more

Mansion rooms are nice enough but was very disappointed when I was fully woken up (before 9am) by housekeeping just entering the room (no knock or warning at all, confirmed by my partner who was in the middle of getting dressed). Privacy sign was hung from the door but ignored, no sort of apology either, just backed out after standing in the entry for a few moments. Felt like a crazy breach of privacy and respect, as well as a situation that could have easily been dangerous for both guests and staff involved. Sense of comfort in the room will be diminished for the rest of my trip. read more

We visited Ocean Edge Resort for a NTMA awards on May 21st. Although the weather was awful, we had a lovely time. The grounds and properties are clean and well cared for. Grounds people were friendly. Check in was simple and the young people behind the desk were professional and friendly. Our room was beautiful. We were in the east wing in a deluxe king guestroom. The immaculate room was beautiful, tastefully decorated and spacious. Yummy chocolates we're waiting for us. Bathroom was beautiful and also immaculate with plenty of bathroom amenities. Banquet servers were lovely. Chicken dinner was so delicious! Chocolate cups filled with mousse were perfect.We will definitely come back when the weather is nicer. read more

The good things I have to say, I like the little apartments in the villas, the location is great for getting out and about around the Cape and the Cleaning crew are kind and attentive. Now let's get into all the things I dislike. As wonderful as the cleaning service is, the amount of carpet clean that they have to use is concerning .The scent is overwhelming, to the point of physical discomfort. There is no communication with the guests out here in the villages. There wasn't a guest guidebook, a pen, notepad. The buttons on the phone for guest services and dining services are merely ornamental. You can hit them, but all they do is ring. This estate is enormous and though they give you a map with your keys at check-in, there are no maps posted around the property that I saw, nor anything you could pull up on their website, which makes it easy to find your way around here as a guest. As far as the food goes, thus far I've eaten three meals at two different locations. One meal was fine at best. For the other two, ewNo one should ever take a sip out of their coffee and have coffee grounds go into their mouth. The bloody Mary hair is made with their own proprietary mix of carrot. tomato and God help me juice. It's unfit for drinking. Dear Lord buy Zing Zang!! Technically, I came here in the off-season, September, but they seemed ill prepared for seating me when I went to eat both times on the patio. A wide open patio with few patrons. Whatever is happening behind the scenes, the customers are not the consideration. I called prior to coming to inquire about the activity schedule and I certainly didn't feel like I had got my questions answered on that call. When I checked in at the front desk at the mansion, I asked the same questions again. I walked away for a second time without an answer as to how to deal with signing up for the exercise classes and activities, which I found really frustrating. Additionally, they had some activities on their list on the website that I would like to invite some of my local friends (full admission, I grew up here on the Cape). Again, I couldn't get much assistance, only vague answers from the people at the front desk in person and on the phone trying to book activities. They neither offered to forward me to the right place nor give me specifics.(emails, phone numbers, names) to get there. I definitely missed out on my own experiences, never mind my local friends missing out as well. How amazing would it be to have more local support and participation?? There are 12 months in a year. Local support can't hurt in the off season. Overall, I found that the staff was quite kind and helpful. Per my prior commentary there were certainly a couple of people I think could have done a better job. If this resort wants to be on par with other local resorts, they have a lot of work to do., For the price and the kindness of the staff, I would give this place three stars. The lack of stars is a reflection of management. The treatment of and communication to guests who to stay in the villas could be far better. It's one thing to consider guests to be lesser. If they stay in certain areas, it's another to treat them that way. read more

THINGS TO DO: We obviously had a rental car (from Hyannis Airport), and it was massively helpful/useful as we used it constantly. For us, the Villages was a unique, affordable (most of the top properties are at least $1K/night) "home base" for us in the Brewster/Hyannis/Barnstable/Provincetown area. We had a 3-night stay and deliberately didn't do a ton at Villages or Mansion (though there is certainly a plethora of options). We had dinner one night at Linx (which was okay - not bad, but not super memorable) and then another night at the Ocean Bar to watch the sunset (this is a MUST do as it is the best spot at either Villages or Mansion to see the sunset) -- food was decent here. At Britterige Village (part of the Villages), we were within easy walking distance of several excellent cafes, such as Snowy Owl Cafe, Kitchen Cafe, and JT's Seafood. We ate at all of these (especially for either breakfast or coffee at the Snowy Owl Cafe and Kitchen Cafe), and it was a nice change to simply walk back/forth. We also did a day trip to Provincetown (highly, highly recommended) where we had both breakfast and lunch. Another day we visited local friends in Barnstable for an evening BBQ. Pro dessert tip: Check out "Eat Cake 4 Breakfast," which is a famous bakery nearby for delicious treats! We deliberately didn't use the pools or beach, etc., but appreciated that we were able to access the Mansion private beach, despite staying at the Villages during the Memorial Day-Labor Day timeframe where generally you can't do this if you're at the Villages. STAFF: This is the "secret sauce" of any solid property, and Ocean Edge is no different. The GM Robert Newman was very gracious, and special thanks to Marc Bauman (resort manager) who kept an eye on us and was super helpful with our small requests. Also thank you to Michael Medeiros for helping us arrange a private pickleball lesson. Everyone else we encountered during our stay would have a smile, and deliberately did what was possible to go the extra mile. For example, I recall when we were trying to get food/drinks ordered at the busy Ocean Bar, and a kind male server/bartender spotted us and ran over to take our order. The housekeeping also seemed efficient and timely. VILLAGES V. MANSION: We haven't ever stayed at the Mansion so can't comment on the difference, but think of both of them as massive college campuses that are about 4-5 blocks (~0.4-0.5 miles) apart from each other. There is a constant shuttle loop from Villages. The Mansion is definitely where there is "more action" -- a gigantic lawn where tons of folks are playing games, eating food, chilling on chairs, etc., and far more eateries/restaurants, a private beach, etc. But, like the Villages -- it is also super spread out and you need to plan to do a ton of walking. CHECK-IN/PRE-ARRIVAL: We are the type of vacationing couple who reads pre-arrival information (if a property chooses to send anything) and we appreciated the level of detail that Ocean Edge provided in advance. Some of the reviews here "complain" about the check-in, but if anyone read what was provided before, it was very clear to us that the check-in occurs at the White House at 1 Village Road. We had a super smooth check-in and the manager woman (Carolyn?) took the extra step/extra mile of showing us exactly where our unit in Britterige Village was located by getting into her car, and personally escorting us (and even offering to help us carry our luggage up/down steps). ROOM/APT: My wife and I really loved the "apartment" style hotel-room with a spacious living room and kitchen. We knew the setup in advance, so we deliberately went to a Trader Joe's near the Hyannis airport and got some small groceries like yogurt, fruit, water, etc. We correctly predicted that water wouldn't be provided in the room (other than by tap) so we were glad to get water bottles. TV/WIFI: A nice touch that Netflix is loaded onto the TV as we signed into our account and enjoyed a nightly Netflix watching to help us wind down. A tiny point, but I would have liked the bedroom TV to be as large as the living room TV, but not a big deal. AC: Many, many reviews here comment about the "loud" AC units. This is true. However, we are from New York City and sleep with an AC unit on and the occasional sirens blaring (though we are on a very high floor). You do need to adjust the AC units to your preferences -- if you don't like them turning on/off, then you have to turn off the "energy saver" button and not have it in "auto." Overall this was a minor inconvenience into an otherwise unblemished stay, but would suggest that these units are replaced sooner than later. BIKES: Loved the cheap bike rental nearby at the entrance to Blueberry Pond, and the bike trail is phenomenal (one of the best we've ever seen). PICKLEBALL: We were very thankful to the resort for helping us arrange a private lesson for both of us. The instructor Todd read more

My family and I have been visiting Ocean Edge for over 20 years. We have always loved the beach vibes, the location, and the facilities. In 2025, however, Ocean Edge introduced new policies that dramatically affected the quality of our stay, and I do not see us giving them business again. The Ocean Edge beach is private, accessible only to guests and members. In the past, you casually showed your pass and walked through. Now there are two checkpoints. The first was fine. The staffer was friendly and waved us on. The second, at the beach itself, had a 30-minute line because they were not only checking passes but also setting people up with chairs and towels. We only wanted to walk the beach. We already had our pass checked, so we flashed it and continued forward. That should not have been a problem. Instead, Kevin of Osterville belittled us, shamed us for "cutting the line," and treated us like criminals. There was no attempt at hospitality. Ocean Edge charges nearly $1,000 a night in the summer. At that rate, I expect service that introduces ease and flow into every aspect of our experience, not unnecessary friction. Kevin and these new policies did the opposite. They made us feel tense, unwelcome, and on edge every time we tried to use the beach. It was literally easier and less stressful to get through TSA PreCheck and airport security than it was to deal with Kevin and the Ocean Edge beach process. If that is not proof that Ocean Edge has lost the plot when it comes to guest experience, I do not know what is. We were not satisfied, we did not appreciate how we were treated, and we will not be returning. read more

Unless you want to feel like you're next door to a night club every evening, find another hotel. I cannot believe how loud music blasts every night until late. My family came for a relaxing vacation and I was surely not expecting this. Food is average but priced like fine dining. Service is hit or miss with all the European exchange students. Positives: Housekeeping is excellent and the property is gorgeous. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this resort. There is an abundance of activities that take place on premise, there is no reason to leave! We stayed on the links side which has 2 pools and a restaurant great for lunch. A golfers haven! The mansion had so many fun activities from bocce ball to potato sage races, pizza ovens going through the day, a beach with chairs for every guest, ocean front bar, terrace restaurant, and indoor pool if the weather isn't just right. 10/10 would stay here again and recommend to friends. @curlyq266 read more

I visited this resort on a busy Wednesday night in July. As you pull up to the grounds it looks beautiful. There are signs that direct you where to go, but the parking area is extremely small for the amount of guests that were at the restaurant. My friend arrived first and was seated at a high top table. Your waiter was quite slow and not observant to our needs. We had to request to order drinks and then again to order food. The server that brought our food was equally non observant. I picked up our small plates to make room for the entree plates. I commented to her what I was doing and she started to leave without taking our small plates away. Overall, the food was good quality, but the service was subpar at best. I can say that I would not return. read more

Old Mansion with an impressive frontage, manicured grounds, has all the historical makings of being a 5 star resort but that's where it stops. Our room in the west wing was tired. Room door would not close, bathroom fixtures were loose, toilet did not flush properly. We had carpenter ants. Yeah, Carpenter ants!!!! The food at the mansion was awful. The bartender, also our waiter was very nice, but was clearly understaffed. So it took forever to get what was one of the worst meals I've ever been served. Ceasar salad, a few wilted leaves and one piece raw chicken the other rubber. Clam chowder, glue. bouillabaisse raw and cooked celery with what tasted like a crushed bouillon cube. The kicker, NO liquor ordered, family of four $350. While the ocean edge terrace restaurant was a kin to poolside food with 5 star pricing. Mostly young European summer staff, which were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. All and all we felt the Ocean Edge resort was way overpriced, rooms needed attention and food was awful. Had the makings to be great, but was instead overpriced. read more

We stayed here for a week as part of a TravelZoo deal. It was a little confusing, as we had never been here and didn't realize there are different areas to the resort. There is the beach side, where the mansions are, and then the golf side and villages. We stayed on Blueberry Pond, which was convenient to be close to the playground, pond/dock, and closer to the pool. Our unit wasn't as updated, but still nice. It was a little weird that we were charged a resort fee for daily activities, but if you wanted to do any of the activities you had to pay extra for them. You had to pay to borrow the bicycles, pay to try the archery, etc. Overall a positive experience and we would stay here again. read more

review of the seaside open bar three stars only because it's a beautiful view. but without the view, it's way overpriced and service is abysmal. my Cape Cod friends brought me for the view, but I won't ask them to bring me again haha read more

Ivan and Tovar was excellent with beach service - attentive, and remembered us after just one day. Even the kids looked forward to seeing if they were working! read more

Came here for a lovely 2 night stay during the middle of the week in June. I had set a Tee Time. I had called reservations for dinner twice and it was a recording and would return my phone call... they didn't.. I had to cancel my Tee time and was told by Shaun I didn't have one. so annoyed by these incidents. Ann is a concerige told me someone with more authority would get back to me to make things right. after 2 days nothing was resolved and nor was there anything as a gift card or sorry for the inconvenience. NOTHING. we were thinking of coming back annually but there was no incentive . I gave 2 stars as the wait staff were wonderful. read more

This place is absolutely incredible. I came with two friends and we were able to book the igloo experience. The igloos were warm and cozy and the food and cocktails were absolutely delicious. All the employees we came in contact with were so welcoming (particularly Leon and Brandon) and I was highly impressed by the level of customer service. The resort itself has easily accessible parking. We were able to enjoy some desserts in the karaoke lounge downstairs after dinner as well and that was definitely one of the highlights of the night! The gentleman who was running the event made sure everyone participated and he was very convincing because even I went up to belt one out a duet!!! I am hoping to come back and book a room as the location is beautiful and there were so many more dishes I wanted to try. read more

PHENOMENAL CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL SCENERY, EXCEPTIONAL FOOD! What a wonderful vacation my family and I had here! We started our trip on the Arbor Villages side -- which was beautiful. However was not our cup of tea as it mostly caters to guests who enjoy golf and sports. Our main objective was to be beach side, cocktail in hand and enjoy the beauty of Brewster. After one night at the Villa we had some issues with the Netflix on the TV. This was an issue for us as we have an 8 year old and need him to be entertained when in the villa. The manager John was very professional and truly cared about our concerns. He upgraded our stay to the mansion side which gives you access to the beach! He also treated us to breakfast. John was probably the most amazing manager I have ever met at a resort. He was very poised, classy and great communicator. You can tell he cares about his customers and their experience on the resort. If we had not met him our stay would not have been as amazing. The waitresses on the beach are absolutely amazing. It was an absolute dream to chill on the beach and have someone cater to us with cocktails and lunch. The shrimp cocktail was very fresh and the hotdog was honestly one of the best hotdogs I've ever had. The beach service overall was very organized and wonderful. If you are thinking of staying here, make sure to consider which side of the resort fancies you best. Mansion side you have beach access, pool, beautiful outdoor dining and everything in walking distance. The Villa side is also nice but it caters more to sports and golf, and you need to drive everywhere as this side is huge. You have access to the pond for kayaking, but no access to the beach. After experiencing both sides of the resort I can say both were great for what they had to offer. But I am absolutely pleased with the customer service we received when the villa side did not meet our needs. Thank you again John from the management team. I will be sure to refer this resort to friends and family!!! read more
