A cross between a historic manor house and a luxe resort with special-event capacity, Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club in Brewster, Massachusetts, is a charming venue for a host of pre- or post-wedding festivities, a romantic mini-moon, or a girls’ getaway.

On the registry of Historic Hotels of America since 2022, the sprawling mansion is set on 429 acres and was originally built as a private residence. It is now the hub of activity for overnight guests. (Two- and three-bedroom villas with multiple baths are available—so bring on your bridal entourage!)

This self-contained resort offers much to do and see—right on property.

Spend your days relaxing at the spa or play tennis, pickleball, or a round of golf. Bikes are available for rental, and water sports include kayaking and paddleboarding.

If a recline-at-the-beach day is in order, a short walk away is the resort’s private stretch of Bay Pines Beach. Chairs and towels are on hand waterside, and the beach bar offers light fare and libations. As evening rolls in, settle into an Adirondack chair on the front lawn for games—bocce ball, ring toss and giant Jenga, anyone?

During your visit, take your pick of the top-notch eateries such as the elegant Roscommon Room with its wood-clad walls, white tablecloths and cozy fireplace, or enjoy the same menu outdoors at the casual Ocean Terrace with views of the bay.

Then there’s the Linx Tavern, adjacent to the golf course; Bayzo’s Pub, for live music; and the poolside Shark Bah.

From service to scenery, Ocean Edge pulls out the stops to ensure luxury, comfort and a good time will be had by all.
