A Wonderful Staycation at Wave Resort in New Jersey

Are you tired of spending every single weekend, doing the same thing.. over and over again? Because I sure as hell am, lol. Living in New Jersey is kind of tough in the winter time. If you like the cold weather, I’m sure you can find plenty of things outdoors to entertain yourself. Or, if you are a homebody, I’m sure staying in is your cup of tea. The best part of being either one of those is that you can take a little weekend trip to the beautiful Wave Resort, located in Long Branch, New Jersey for a staycation!

Spacious Rooms and Gorgeous Views

One thing I cannot get over are the views from each and every room. No matter where you stay, you will not get tired of the large balconies and spacious rooms!

I’ve stayed at Wave Resort 2 times, and both rooms were a little different than each other. One thing I can say is that you will always get what you are looking for. Each room comes with a sofa, and it pulls out to become a bed. Since the rooms are huge, it’s very easy to travel and book a stay with younger children! The bathrooms are also very large and super clean, which is usually the first thing I look into, lol! 

I know it may seem a little crazy to book a stay at a beach hotel in middle of the fall or winter, but there is something so cozy about staying in and relaxing. The best part is when it’s a nice day and you wake up to the most gorgeous sunrise right on the water!

Dine at the Delicious Restaurants

If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you must have seen how much I raved about the restaurants over at Wave Resort!

On Friday night, we dined at 100 Ocean, which is a fusion twist on American + Mediterranean food, and exactly what we were craving.  We were blessed with a beautiful table alongside the water… talk about dinner with a view 😉 The list is long but check out what we ordered from the menu!

  • OYSTERS ON THE HALF SHELL
  • WHIPPED EGGPLANT DIP
  • WILD MUSHROOM PIZZA
  • EGGPLANT PARMESAN
  • BRAISED SHORT RIB
  • PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE
  • CHOCOLATE CAKE
  • BARCELONA G&T (cocktail)
  • PIER SPRITZ (cocktail)

On Sunday morning after checking out, we decided to have brunch at their Mexican restaurant called Branch Cantina. It’s so cute and aesthetic inside… one of those places where you’re sure to take some photos! The food was really good and came in pretty large portions! I packed mine up and enjoyed it for lunch the next day 😉 Sharing what we ordered below!

  • MEXICAN COFFEE (boozy or non boozy)
  • CANTINA NACHOS
  • GRILLED SHRIMP TOWER
  • VEGGIE RICE BOWL
  • ACHIOTE SKIRT STEAK FAJITAS
  • CHURROS

We ordered room service both mornings because we were VERY surprised with the quality of food. If you need some carbs and protein in the morning, you HAVE to order in their hash browns, avocado toast, and egg & cheese croissant! 

Local Things in the Area

Other than the yummy food that Wave Resort has to offer, you can book a service at the spa, which has incredible options at great prices. You can also continue the “me” time with a nice little blow out at their salon on the first floor! I got my hair done and they gave me the best beach waves and a hand massage 😉

If you want to step out for a bit for some fresh air, be sure to grab a coffee from Buzzbait while walking around Pier Village! There is a cute little carousel right next to the resort, so it’s a fun little activity to do with children. You can also walk around and grab drinks, or do some retail therapy at one of the MANY shops that are located in the area. Trust me on this one, Wave Resort is one of the perfect gems to visit for your staycation in New Jersey!
