Ocean House is an incredible destination that perfectly embodies classic New England luxury. The activities and beachfront location provide ample opportunities for relaxation and family fun. While the service had its ups and downs during my stay, the overall experience was still memorable. The dining was enjoyable, though the restaurant can get busy, so reservations are a must for peak times.

We had a beautiful weekend at this hotel, blessed with stunning weather and exceptional views of the beach. The rooms were elegantly appointed, but the service left much to be desired, with inconsistent attention and issues regarding dining and staff interactions. While we enjoyed some excellent meals, the overall dining experience had its ups and downs. The setting by the ocean truly enhanced our stay, but the price felt a bit high for the level of service we received.

I had high hopes for my stay at Ocean House due to its beautiful beachfront property and luxury offerings. However, my experience was marred by numerous service issues and the room was not what I expected. While the on-site dining at Coast was top-notch, the overall attention to detail from the staff was lacking, leading to a frustrating stay. The high price point didn't match the quality of service we received, making it a bittersweet celebration.

I had an incredible stay at Ocean House, perfect for a family celebration with luxurious touches and engaging activities. The property exudes classic New England charm with stunning beach views. However, the dining options at the Seaside Terrace left something to be desired, and my experience with afternoon tea was disappointing. Overall, it's a top-notch getaway with a few minor hiccups.
