Scenic oceanfront inn with luxurious amenities is the very definition of ‘romance’

If a picture of the Ocean House isn’t next to the definition of “romance” in the dictionary, it should be. Book a deluxe room with a sumptuous deep soaking tub and ocean-view terrace or a suite with a stone fireplace, slip into a fluffy robe, then book a side-by-side couples massage in the five-star Ocean & Harvest Spa. Order up champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, roses and truffles for your room and plan for a day on the private, white-sand beach with cabana service. Dine in the award-winning COAST restaurant or, in the summer, grab a couple overstuffed chairs for cocktails on The Verandah. In the winter, snuggle by a cozy outdoor fireside and watch the sun set in the inn’s Celebration du Soleil.
