For over 30 years, Water’s Edge Resort and Spa has kept its presence as a top New England beachfront resort for vacations and getaways. Originating from the vision of humanitarian Bill Hahn, the resort has jovial beginnings. With an obvious love for people and an appetite for fun, Hahn was dubbed the ‘host with the most,’ known for showing his guests a good time and providing a beachfront refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life. The 188-room resort offers charming oceanfront accommodations with perfectly landscaped gardens, acres of grounds overlooking the water, a private white sand beach, four restaurants, live entertainment, and a full-service spa.
