South County's waterfront hotels, motels, inns offer you a dream vacation

When visitors came to the original Ocean House resort on the shores of Rhode Island, they marveled at the breathtaking views of the ocean and bay from their rooms. When the luxury inn was newly constructed in 2004, all of its 247 windows remained in their original positions. Water views from spacious rooms and suites are one of the inn’s many charms, which also include an award-winning spa, a variety of waterfront dining options, classes at an active Center for Wine & Culinary Arts and world-class amenities. Enjoy cabana service at the private white-sand beach, swim in the heated indoor saltwater lap pool, take a yoga or pilates class. There are children’s programs, a putting green, a sweeping croquet lawn, fire pits and yacht and fishing cruises. Recently named to Forbes Magazine's "Most Luxurious Hotels & Spas", and one of the top 100 hotels in the world among Travel + Leisure readers.
