The Villages at Ocean Edge

Ocean Edge Resort is a beautiful property and I thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay there. The best part of my visit was undoubtedly the pickleball lesson I had with Todd. Todd completely analyzed all my shots and strokes and gave me guidance to improve my game. Not only is he a great instructor, but he is such a friendly and welcoming person, he makes you feel at ease immediately. Whether you're just beginning your pickleball journey or looking to up your game, I highly recommend you take a lesson with Todd. You will be glad you did! I know I am! Thank you again, Todd.

The location was perfect for our trip, but that’s about where the positives end. There is absolutely ZERO cell service and no WiFi. I’m not exaggerating — my phone was basically a decorative brick I lugged around all weekend. Felt like I was transported back to the 1800s, which might have been charming if I wasn’t trying to coordinate with friends for a wedding. On top of that, the AC pumped out funky-smelling air and there was visible mold in the vents. Not exactly the kind of “rustic” experience anyone’s looking for. And for what you pay? Honestly, way overpriced. To make things extra fun, they tell you to call the front desk if you need the shuttle… but joke’s on you, because they don’t actually pick up the phone (not that you’d have service anyway). Location = 10/10. Amenities = somewhere around “don’t breathe too deep and hope you don’t need Google Maps.” Bring a compass, a gas mask, and maybe a carrier pigeon if you need to get in touch with anyone.

We have been coming to the Villages at Ocean Edge for the past 10 years We were attracted initially to Ocean Edge because of the tennis clinics with Jim and the lawn games, and being able to stay in family friendly condos. But two recent additions have made the Villages even more desirable: access to the beach on the mansion side and the pickleball program. The pickleball courts may be the nicest outdoor courts on the Cape, and Todd and Nat, the in house pickleball pros, are top notch. I feel like my game improved after a couple of group clinics. We definitely will be coming back next year (and hope to be able to stay longer!)

The resort is fantastic. The locations and setting are perfect. The beach is beautiful especially at low tide where you can walk for miles. And a blast for kids to find explore. The services/amenities at the beach are top-notch. The pools are well maintained and the daily lawn games are an added bonus. The downside is the villas are tired and can use updating. The air conditioners are so noisy, the kitchen lacks basic cooking utensils, the WiFi is very spotty and unreliable, the carpets are stained.

This was our most recent stay at the Villages at Ocean Edge Resort. We have been vacationing at the resort every summer for many many years and consider it our home away from home. Its location is perfect being close to some of the nicest towns on the Cape. And the resort itself offers so much - an expansive beautifully maintained setting, a gorgeous private beach, numerous pools and exercise facilities, a terrific golf course, and great dining options. In addition the staff at all the facilities are excellent- personable, respectful, and well trained assuring visitors first class treatment. We will be returning again in September and intend to return ever summer in the future.

Recently stayed at the Villas at Ocean Edge. Entire stay was great. Started off with Jenn at the front desk. She was so professional and friendly and gave us some great local reviews. She really started our trip off the best way.

The trip was amazing, The resort was clean, staff was very friendly, Arbor pool area was great. One of the best parts of the trip for me was the open play pickleball that Todd organized. He did an awesome job. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Didn't love it. The condo felt very cramped and I, honestly, missed renting a house and have space. A porch! Tried the outdoor pool one day and it was freezing. So much so that I couldn't go in. The indoor pool area was kind of dark and dreary.
