Here was a visitor on a recent trip to Drover’s, our local (and awesome) convenience and grocery store. There he was watching us carry our wares back to our car, silent and majestic. We couldn’t take our eyes off him. And we’re pretty sure he was sizing us up, too!

A Birthday Celebration
We love it when guests share their special occasions with us – big ones, like weddings, of course, but also anniversaries, birthdays, proposals, and reunions are all heightened with a beautiful getaway. So a big Happy Birthday goes out to Charlene, a lovely guest who recently celebrated with us. We’re thrilled that she had a great birthday, and hope she comes back to see us soon!
And while it makes us blush, we had to share her glowing message, sent to us on Facebook. We know we have fabulous staff, and we’d like to pass on a thanks to them, too, for all they do for our guests. And thanks, Charlene, for the very kind words!
Beautiful Sunday
This is the view from my office, so that even if I have to work on a Sunday, I am blessed. It’s been another eventful week. We’ve extended our popular Date Night Special until December 21, and we’re already getting bookings for the Christmas season. Please remember we’re available for group Christmas dinner and parties, and that it’s always best to book early. And please remember to have a great Sunday!
Welcome, Jerry!
Welcome on board to another Jerry with a J! Meet Jerry, who we’ve recently welcomed to our team. That’s him with our fabulous, part-time chef Lori Marsh. We’re so happy to have such a great team, and we’re sure that Jerry is going to fit in swimmingly!
Happy Halloween from Ocean Delight!
Happy Halloween from all of us at the Ocean Delight family! We hope that this year’s is safe and fun. If you’re looking for some extra safety tips, please see here, and remember to make sure your pets stay indoors – it’s easy for them to get lost in all the commotion, and no one wants that!
Off to Hollywood!
Jerry off to Hollywood? Not quite, but we are proud to be part of new feature that will be highlighting what’s amazing about the Baccalieu Trail. Which is just about everything! Please stay tuned for more!
Happy Birthday!
A hearty Happy Birthday and a hearty thanks, too, to the Heart’s Delight -Islington Volunteer Fire Department, which just celebrated 40 years of service. These brave souls are invaluable to our community, and the very picture of service. Their gift from the province was a big new truck. Sure to be well received, and remember – fire detectors save lives, so go check yours right now!
‘Date Night Special’ Extended Through December!
We are happy to announce that we have just extended our Date Night Special all the way through December. Now you can come enjoy a cozy night away at our romantic inn, coupled with a gourmet meal prepared by our now legendary and award-winning chef, Chris Chafe, plus a yummy hot breakfast, too. We’re finding it’s not just couples who are taking advantage of this indulgent getaway – many girlfriends are using it as an excuse to getaway, drink some wine, and maybe throw in a spa treatment (or two!) as well. Our Date Night to Remember has been extended until December 21, so that you can get some needed peace and relaxation amongst all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season!
Please note as well that for the rest of the season, both our Inn and Dining will be open to reservation only, Thursday through Saturday nights. After December 21, we will close for the winter – so please come visit before we do.
And a final note – we’re open for group Christmas dinners and parties, both at The Doctor’s House and at the Shag It. It might seem early, but now is really the time to start making your plans. Stay tune for more details!
Welcome, OSSIS
The Shag It may be closed for the season, but only to the general public, and we were more than happy to open its doors, as well as the doors of all our cottages, to these lovely ladies. They’re from Operational Stress Injury Social Support, a group that meets a growing need of peer support for stress-related injuries for our military. You can read about their very important work here. We salute these women and their military families, and we were proud to be their hosts.
And please remember that the Shag It is always open to corporate events and private functions. Please learn more here.
