Cambria Beach Lodge

@thatch

Located right across the street from Moonstone Beach on California’s Central Coast, this adorable boutique hotel is the perfect place for a coastal weekend getaway. All of the rooms have a beach-inspired design to create the perfect vacation vibe for your stay. Cambria is one of the last “untouched” California coast beach towns, a place for whale watching, wine tasting, sunset watching, and relaxing to the sound of the waves. This is co-founder West Askew's favorite spot to stay in Cambria!

Stephanie Inn & Dining Room

@thatch

This is a great place to go if you’re looking for a serene, elegant, and cozy PNW coastal getaway. The hotel overlooks one of the most beautiful stretches of the Oregon Coast while the hotel itself will make you wish you could spend your entire life wrapped in blankets by the fire while watching the waves crashing. The hotel is located a short distance from anywhere you’d want to go in Cannon Beach, but if you don’t want to leave, they have wonderful on-site dining, and a spa.

Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa

@thatch

This hotel has an ultra-luxurious, yet laid back vibe. It’s perfect for any visit to the keys. The beach in front of the hotel is also amazing, but you might not even want to leave the hotel (and the hotel’s pool) to visit it. The resort sits on 24 oceanfront acres, giving you a full escape from anything and everything. But if the time ever comes that you’d want to step away, you’re close to some of the Key’s favorite spots. The onsite dining is exceptional, and so is the spa.

Hero Beach Club

@thatch

If peace, quiet, and sitting on a porch swing watching the sunset over the ocean appeals to you, this cool and cozy hotel in Montauk is the move. Enjoy your stay on the Atlantic Ocean, catch some waves, explore art galleries, or sit with your thoughts during long walks on the beach straight out from your room at Hero. The hotel also has a pool for when you don’t feel like getting sandy, and a boutique, yet trendy vibe.

Shutters on the Beach

@thatch

This iconic Santa Monica hotel sits right on Santa Monica Beach and will make you the envy of all the LA tourists and locals coming by on the bike path. The Pacific Ocean can be seen from the pool and jacuzzi, as well as the dining room, and though this is a 186 room hotel, you’ll feel as if you’re staying in a small residential boutique hotel. Very few of the rooms have ocean views, so it’s a good idea to book far in advance if that’s a priority to you.

The Wauwinet

@thatch

This 5 star hotel is about as Nantucket classic as it gets. Located on the far northeastern point of Nantucket Island, the hotel is as much of a retreat as any, while still giving you access to all the island has to offer. The rooms are spacious and decorated with classic New England Decor, and the hotel is just steps from the sandy beach.

Chatham Bars Inn

@thatch

This east coast country inn, located right on the beach in Cape Cod will give you the beachside retreat you’ve been looking for. In the summer, enjoy sunny days in the sand, or relaxing by the pool. In the cooler months, enjoy the moodiness of the Atlantic while sipping warm cocktails from behind the oceanfront windows of the hotel bar. You’ll be sure to see lots of ocean wildlife in this part of the coast.

Post Ranch Inn

@thatch

This hotel is definitely a spurge, but it’s a spot that should be on your bucket list all the same. Each room is designed to optimize the best views of this section of the Big Sur coast with floor to ceiling windows, and the beds in the hotel treehouses even have skylights so that you can take in the stars at night. If you’re really looking to treat yourself, reserve the private home which has a private hot tub overlooking the cliffs.

@thatch

This quirky beachside boutique hotel is about as classic retro Miami as it gets. The clientele here are lively, and each of the 29 rooms is even more uniquely lively in it’s decor.
