While we were on vacation this past week, we took a trip to Watch Hill, Rhode Island to visit The Ocean House. When we pulled up to this resort, my jaw not only dropped open, it fell to the ground and began doing back flips.
The setting is like nothing I’ve ever seen before as it sits atop a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. We were only there for lunch out on the “veranda” (check the room rates on the web site if you get a chance and you’ll see why we didn’t stay there) but it was worth the half hour trip. Oysters outdoors with the rich and New Englandy – good friggin times.
The grounds are stunning, loaded with beautiful gardens so of course, I wanted to share the photos with you. Enjoy:
yikes! looks like The Hamptons. too pristine for me!
Gorgeous! What a view! What a place! And, what gardens! 😉
It’s a tidy drum, and no mistake! Needs a bit of living in, I think, to knock some of that gloss off it.
Wow and I bet lunch cost an arm and a leg too. Beautiful!
That is amazing…simply amazing!!
Beautiful place….just a tad bit pricey 🙂
Stunning View, Stunning Gardens
WOW!! I love places like this, and on my ‘bucket list’ is staying at a place like this!
For decades we have gone to East Beach (the public beach right below the Ocean House), and we watched the ancient old inn fall into utter disrepair and ruin over the years. It was a spooky hulk looming over the beach below, falling down more each year. When they started to rehab it several years ago I didn’t think they could… I was sure it would be a tear down.
What an incredible job they have done. It now looks awesome, and your pictures prove it. We can’t stay there either, too rich for our pocketbooks too. Much of the inn is actually condo units owned by very wealthy out of towners.
Thanks for this tour. If you saw two pasty white middle aged (well, older) beachgoers on the sand below the Ocean House while you were there, that was my husband & me.
Oh, my goodness! What a place! What gardens!
I would love to see this place in person! What a fabulous experience that must have been! Amazing!
My how FANCY!!!
Love Di ♥
Just a gorgeous place….I can tell it’s too high dollar for us rednecks here in the south!
Wow! Fun times.
