Services
Stay at Ocean Edge Resort and play on Cape Cod's only Nicklaus Design golf course. Enjoy one bedroom or multi-bedroom accommodations at The Villages at Ocean Edge Resort, conveniently located adjacent to the course, or opt for a more luxurious experience at The Mansion at Ocean Edge Resort with access to our private beach and Beach Bar.
Built under the direction of the wealthy Nickerson family, this nationally-recognized building has stood on our property for over 100 years. And yet, history and modernity have never been so compatible. Erected on the same grounds as our famous Mansion, this collection of villas is perfect for group getaways.
Located behind The Mansion overlooking Cape Cod Bay, guests and patrons alike are invited to book a table inside the restaurant for traditional a-la-carte dining or a private igloo with exclusive dining packages that will allow you to enjoy wintry cocktails with an assortment of delicious appetizers and seasonal entrees.
Inside and out, Ocean Terrace offers a refined dining experience against the stunning backdrop of Cape Cod Bay. At this Cape Cod restaurant, take a seat and sip on a refreshing glass of wine while gazing over the water's horizon. Guests can dine on elevated New England fare at every meal, including a grilled lobster roll with basil aioli, a hearty bowl of traditional clam chowder, and delectable oysters on the half shell.
Perched atop the dunes of Cape Cod Bay, the 32-seat Beach Bar offers undisturbed views of the surrounding area. On clear days, Provincetown is visible on the horizon, and each night is greeted by a stunning sunset. Order a regionally-inspired cocktail, and relax; we'll keep your worries at bay.

Spent the weekend and it was awful. The room said king size bed which it was not. The walls are paper thin and I could hear everything in the rooms around us and one room was playing music until 2 am which was awesome.

Ate at the Frost bar and the food was awful the fact they charge as much as they do for the dog food they serve is an insult.

Ended up having to eat all other meals at local restaurants and luckily were all very good. This hotel needs to update its rooms and at the very least lower it's prices because it is not at all worth the money to stay there and you definitely won

My wife and stayed here the weekend of 10/15-10/17/21 and were sorely disappointed. Reading the other reviews, it seems the common theme is the poor customer service and I couldn't agree more! From the front desk staff at arrival, to the waitress serving us dinner in the terrace restaurant it seems everyone went out of their way to make sure we knew we were an inconvenience. Honestly I've never experienced anything like this. Even the concierge was rude, for crying out loud! Miserable, miserable staff.

There were a slew of weddings goings on that weekend and I suspect that's this

Horrible customer service, all of the workers were very disrespectful. One pushed me out of the way to get by me rather than politely asking me to move.

The service wasn't the best. Rude and not very pleasant wait staff. The food was very decent and the only plus was that the drinks were huge. If you sit at the open bar by the beach you get an amazing view, not sure if that will be worth it keeping in mind everything else.

September 11, Friday night, really busy, party of 8, so disappointed in the halibut dinner, halibut dry and chewy served over a not hot starch over way overdone asparagus that couldn't be cut. Another guest could not finish her chicken because it was not fully cooked in the center. Great ambiance, terrible food.

Worst wedding venue ever. Wouldn't recommend to any bride unless they want to get married in a wedding factory. Stinks since I am a local (live about 15 minutes from the venue) and was planning on coming back each year on our anniversary but have zero interest in doing so. Wish I went to Wychmere or that they had let me cancel when I had asked… but, after declining my request to cancel earlier this year (which I understand, I had a contract), they asked me to move my wedding time back an hour so they could fit yet another bride in. Thank goodness this was my "one year anniversary party"

Overall, my wife and I had a wonderful time celebrating our 15 year anniversary. It was our first time to Cape Cod and we never left the resort. The restaurants were great (we tried them all) and the bars were great (also tried them all)!

I was disappointed with the slow shuttle service, but it's understandable with all the employee shortages! However, my biggest complaint is our shocking discovery that the provided beach umbrellas are not UV resistant! My wife stayed under the umbrella for several hours on Saturday and was burnt badly! I attached a photo for you to see how bad! At least

Recommend this resort highly. Had a graduation party there. The food was delicious.
Unfortunately a family member passed out and the staff called EMS and stayed by his side throughout. They were wonderful.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!! Staff is absolutely miserable and NO help! I actually had 3 young men walk RIGHT passed me while I was trying to push a stroller full of two children, push 2 suitcases and carrying a wedding dress!!!! And that was only the beginning!

The rooms were decent at best and for the price of them 100000x not worth it! For $800 a night you'd expect a little bit more than decent and maybe not a view of a massive parking lot or their dumpsters!Went to breakfast one morning and I took an hour to get a coffee while waiting for menus we ended up looking it up on our

The food at the Ocean Terrace could be improved upon, but the view and drinks are wonderful. We weren’t thrilled with a patron yelling into his cell phone for 20 minutes while we had lunch, however…

Don't stay here if you're trying to have a good time! We were here for a wedding party and got thrown out because the members thought we were "too loud". When we asked management they said the bar had too much volume and wasn't prepared to handle all of us which was clearly a lie. Then we asked to have a sever come take care of us in a separate area which they originally agreed to but sent no one. We then tired to ask why we were no longer being served and the bartender proceeded to call the best man (brother to the groom) "a short loser" which was completely

We visited this resort for a week in July during our first visit to the Cape.

Pros:
Resort grounds are lovely
Family friendly
Rooms (within mansion) are large and nicely done
Most of the servers we dealt with at restaurants were very friendly and responsive
Their great lawn is fun for kids and families in the evenings

Cons:
A bit pricey for what you get. We've stayed at more and less expensive resorts before...this one felt below par in value for the money
Was surprised at how unwelcoming management was- check in was rude and hasty, when I had a follow up question for management during

The place is beautiful. You can see a wonderful sunset in the evening.
In summer the front lawn is set up with chairs and fire lamps, lots of games and the place sells wood fire pizza ,lettuce wrap etc. The pizza was very good.
We had a wonderful time

What an extraordinary location for sunsets, yummy cocktails and snacks ! We especially enjoyed hanging out with the bartenders there - shout out to Alex, Pat (thanks for the restaurant recommendations !) and "Miss Colombia"!

The vibe is everything you could hope for from a beach bar!

The Ocean Terrace at Ocean Edge was a perfect place to stop during our rainy Memorial Day weekend down the Cape. The outdoor bar had perfect coverage, heat lamps and beautiful views of the ocean. We felt like it wasn't even raining! Our bartender, Nicole, was more than accommodating and we felt like we were the only people at the bar! She made fantastic drinks for us and was so friendly and hospitable. We are definitely making another stop there this weekend!

Review for the Frost Bar Igloos

We had a wonderful time at the Frost bar igloos for dinner! The minimum spend per igloo was $150. Although the food seems expensive, it is well worth the experience. We ordered multiple different menu items in the "one person" size along with two cocktails- we were full and satisfied, and left with a to-go box! I highly recommend this experience!

My friend and I recently took advantage of the "healthcare professionals" discount as the advertisement sounded phenomenal. When we arrived, we checked in at the mansion (the site we thought we booked a room at), was provided our room keys and told to drive around until we found our room. After driving all around the premises twice, we contacted the front desk staff and were notified that our room was actually located in the villa's "just down the street". Again, we drove all around the premises (in the dark) and eventually found the building our room was located in but

I'm giving four stars because my husband and I throughly enjoyed our three night stay at the mansion. The room was beautiful and clean. The grounds were stunning. The beach was a short walk from the room. We enjoyed breakfast at the terrace, the view was to die for.

However, the resort is very busy. I wasn't aware how large the actually resort is. They have many other villas on the mansion side nearby as not part of the "mansion". Seems like people own or rent them to larger groups or families. With this, the pool is always packed with children. The beach, although there is
