Summertime is one of the most popular seasons for families to visit Cape Cod to soak in its natural beauty while enjoying miles of pristine coastline, seafood shacks, and picture-perfect lighthouses. After the crowds have dissipated and the leaves start turning, those in the know start planning the perfect getaway to this color-filled seaside destination.

One of the best spots to revel in fall splendor is Ocean Edge Resort & Golf Club.

Located in Brewster overlooking Cape Cod Bay, the 342-room resort offers a variety of guest rooms and suites found throughout the main Nickerson Mansion, Villas, and Villages. With 429 enormous acres to explore, getting around the property is easy thanks to a complimentary shuttle bus that operates Memorial Day through Labor Day.

When it comes to booking a stay here, The Villages at Ocean Edge are designed for the entire family and offer every amenity you might expect to find in a condo-style stay.

The pet-friendly, one-bedroom Arbor Villa features a fully stocked kitchen with full-size appliances, a living area with stackable washer/dryer and access to a private terrace offering stunning golf course views.

The 122 guest accommodations ranging in size and style on The Mansion side offer the most luxurious stays between the 90 found at the Nickerson Mansion and 32 located at the Presidential Bay Collection Villas.

For larger gatherings, a three-bedroom, multi-level townhouse offers 1,400 square feet of updated space with modern kitchen, spacious living room with fireplace, and several terraces to soak in the views. A two-bedroom villa located just a short walk from the beach has cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace, and full kitchen.

There is so much to do here that you won’t ever need to leave, even if you book a weeklong stay.

For the outdoor enthusiast, you can reserve a kayak or standup paddle board, take a bike for a cruise along the Cape Cod Rail Trail, book a tee time on Cape Cod’s only 18-hole Nicklaus Design golf course, or play a round of tennis on one of their nine courts.

The resort also hosts beach yoga and fitness classes, weather permitting.

If lounging by the pool is more your speed, there are plenty of options when it comes to relaxing.

The lower Cape property boasts 700 feet of private beach designed for exploring, not to mention a playground for little ones and a picnic area designed for all ages to enjoy the outdoors. Guests also have complimentary access to the fully equipped fitness center along with indoor and outdoor pools.

When it comes to dining, there are several options to choose from. Ocean Terrace is their signature restaurant located in The Mansion. Offering alfresco dining overlooking Cape Cod Bay, the upscale restaurant offers a cozy spot where you can warm up with a bowl of creamy clam chowder or sample some New England classics like a fresh lobster roll, Chatham mussels, and crabmeat crusted haddock.

The Roscommon Room is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The cozy wood-paneled dining room has a wood-burning fireplace and large bar. Breakfast standouts here are the hearty Hearthside Breakfast with North Country Smokehouse’s maple sausage, breakfast potatoes, and eggs served any way; and Eggs Benedict topped with Hollandaise sauce accompanied by a side of crispy Canadian bacon.

Bayzo’s Pub located on the lower level of The Mansion is a great spot for a casual lunch or hearty dinner in an English-style tavern.

Offering seasonal live music, the laid-back eatery with exposed stone walls and four flat screen TVs is an ideal spot for catching a game. Nosh on creative starters like their beer cheese dip served with soft pretzel bites, or an order of hot honey chicken wings accompanied by blue cheese sauce for dipping. Be sure to save room for their famous Pub Burger served with Guinness glaze topped with lettuce, tomato, red onion jam, crispy onions, crispy bacon, and melted Vermont cheddar cheese served on a brioche roll accompanied by shoestring fries. Trust us, it’s as good as it sounds.

Bayzo’s also offers a nice selection of elevated pub fare, including Butternut Squash Risotto, Shepherd’s Pie with braised beef short rib, and Sirloin Steak Frites with onion confit and herbed mushrooms.

Another fun spot to enjoy alfresco lunch on one of two outdoor patios overlooking the first tee or a cold beer after an 18-hole round of golf is Linx Tavern.

Nestled in the Ocean Edge Villages golf course clubhouse, the restaurant offers an approachable menu featuring shareable dishes like butternut squash hummus, charred broccolini, or prosciutto flatbread.

If you prefer to stay in during game day, order up some appetizers (think Buffalo wings, a New England cheese plate, and cheesy chili dip) at Linx Tavern and take them back to your room to enjoy.

During the warmer months, the Beach Bar found on the Mansion side is open seasonally for snacks and drinks.

In the summer, The Front Lawn also is a great spot to relax and unwind while enjoying live music, lawn games, and a wood-fired oven serving up pizzas and other light bites.
