Enjoying Staycationing before Vacationing at Oceanstone Seaside Resort by Heather Crosby Gionet

The cozy room at Oceanstone Resort and Spa exudes a serene and relaxing ambiance, anchored by its warm wooden floor that invites barefoot strolls. A charming blue cabinet adds a splash of color, complementing the soft glow of a tall lamp that casts gentle light across the space. In one corner, a coffee table holds an assortment of magazines and remotes, promising leisurely moments of entertainment. The focal point is a rustic wood-burning stove nestled on sleek slate tiles, ready to offer warmth on cooler evenings. Step through the door onto a welcoming deck equipped with a barbecue grill—here, sunlight filters through the window beside the cabinet, creating an inviting play between light and shadow as it streams gracefully into the room.

Thirty six hours since I left my amazing weekend at Oceanstone and I think I am still in ultra Zen mode. Actually I know that I am. Honestly, I am going to run you through the awesomeness that was this weekend, but in all the places we have EVER travelled, we can not recall EVER having been as relaxed as we were this weekend. I have always loved Oceanstone, from the first time I photographed a wedding there, and through the many that followed. I also held my first charity event there, my first photography workshop, and it’s where we will be holding this year’s Awesome Life Retreat. Alex and I are going to be apart for over a month and I will be with the kiddos all day everyday. We wanted to rock a winter Staycation locally and to me there was no better choice than Oceanstone Seaside Resort.
The team on site really makes you able to relax and unwind by taking care of everything. We knew we wanted to enjoy some meals at Rhubarb, but we also wanted to stay in our sweats all day and eat in our cottage. Chef Steve stocked our fridge with “Chili and some fixings” and it was a complete feast!

When we arrived on Friday night we came into the lobby and were greeted by the smell of warm cider, a crackling fire and friendly faces. We got checked in quickly and found our way to our cottage. Ok, it wasn’t that difficult for me to find, being as I have photographed people getting ready for their weddings in almost every Cottage on site…
