The Ocean House is an incredible mix of elegance, charm and luxury right on the beach. Our visit was nothing short of perfection. We stayed in the month of March and enjoyed delicious food and excellent service. From before we arrived, Cesar was in touch to see if there was anything we could arrange in advance of our stay. Upon arrival we were greeted by an incredible staff. The house is nothing less than warm, comfortable and grand at the same time. The Morgan Suite where was stayed was renovated to perfection with incredible attention to detail and finishes. The rooms in the suite were gracious and incredibly comfortable at the same time. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in the lively ambiance of the Bistro restaurant. Cesar was very attentive to all our needs during the stay. I enjoyed a morning Pilates class and swam laps in the wonderful pool. There are activities for people of all ages and the setting is ideal for a romantic vacation or family time. This is the type of resort where clients return year after year. I can certainly see why!…

A truly 5 star experience. Everyone works hard to please and it shows. Great room, lots of nice extras, always some fun activities and a great restaurant. We go for a weekend every year during the holidays. Took a nice jaunt from there to see the lobster trap Christmas Tree in Stonington.

No need to think twice about booking your stay here. Just do it. Seriously—my husband and I cannot stop talking about our time here. The location, service, food, and attention to detail were all exceptional. We’ve stayed at the St. Regis in Bora Bora, The Plaza Hotel in NYC, Auberge Du Soleil in Napa and countless of other incredible hotels and *THIS* is one of our favorites. This place is truly a gem and we cannot wait to go back! Also - it was pretty chilly when we went, but we still couldn’t help but go on our beautiful daily walks on the beach, enjoy a glass of champagne outside on the rocking chairs, and watching the sunrise from our balcony. We can’t imagine how incredible this place is in the summer!

Even on a cold, drizzly day in early March, the Ocean House sparkles with warmth. During our brief stay, as waves crashed on the shoreline, we enjoyed an invigorating walk along the pristine beach. We returned to our room to find a welcoming mid-afternoon treat accompanied by a bottle of champagne. Dinner was splendid. Breakfast was exquisite. Every member of the hotel staff provided exceptional service. When we left, the Ocean House fading in our rear view mirror, we made the same promise to each other that we've made after each one of our dozen or visits: We're going to return. Again. Soon. The Ocean House never disappoints.

My husband and I attended a Vine to Wine class at Ocean House, run by GianPaolo. It was a great time—lovely snacks, very interesting facts, and delicious wine. I definitely recommend the class. We haven't stayed at the Ocean House itself yet, but we want to now. The foyer is gorgeous, and the bar had great service and food.

I was unfamiliar with Watch Hill until my recent visit to Ocean House. What a pretty location by the beach, with views of the ocean and the sound. The building itself is gorgeous with a beautifully designed interior and rooms. It went beyond my expectations, especially with the level of service provided. The staff was welcoming and very professional and attentive. I look forward to another visit soon.

We so enjoyed our short stay here. The place is quintessential New England and absolutely beautiful! The bar is gorgeous and our room was fantastic. We went to dinner and our waiter Byron couldn't have been better! He was a GREAT waiter and a good person. I know he will be very successful! Christina who checked us in was great and my yoga instructor Anita was great too!
