OceanCliff Hotel was designe

d and built in 1864 by the architectural firm Peabody & Stearns from Boston who designed the original Breakers and Doris Duke's Rough point both located on elegant Bellevue Avenue. The estate remained a private summer home until 1954, when it was sold and later converted into an oceanfront retreat to host lavish parties and society affairs. Located on 10 acres of rolling lawns with spectacular ocean views, OceanCliff offers a truly unique blend of breathtaking beauty, world-class cuisine and a professionally trained staff to ensure meticulous attention to every detail of your stay.

One of the best parts of a first look? Getting a few quiet minutes together before the day really gets going. You get to be alone, take a breath, and take in the moment. And if you’re worried it will take away from seeing each other walk down the aisle… trust us, it doesn’t. There’s still nothing quite like that moment. 🤍
