We recently took a trip to Stone Harbor, New Jersey for a mini getaway earlier this month. With COVID rates going up and down and vacations being canceled it’s been hard to pin point where exactly where to go. Originally we had planned a trip to Newport, Rhode Island, however, due to the long drive and also the same timing of hurricane Isaias rolling through it didn’t make sense for us to make that trip. But long story short I was SO happy we canceled that trip and instead headed to Stone Harbor which had more of a resort like feel!

So a little bit about Stone Harbor. Stone Harbor is one of those beautiful small beach towns which is not too far from Philadelphia and yet you still feel like you were transported to a resort. The Reeds at Shelter Haven check off all our boxes and we decided to head there for a long weekend. We had been here before for dinner and cocktails so we were happy to come back! When we arrived we self-parked (due to COVID there is no valet) and then headed to check in. Once we were checked in, we headed up to our room which was nice, bright and airy. The hotel had also left us a nice welcome gift along with some yummy cookies. All the finishes in the room were nicely done and we loved having the balcony. Each night there was turndown service (if you wanted it).

Things to do in Stone Harbor:

Some of the amenities The Reeds at Shelter Haven has which I love include:

Salt SPA

Other activities to do while in Stone Harbor would be to rent a boat, rent bikes and of course - go shopping!

Where to eat in Stone Harbor:

There are multiple restaurants on site at The Reeds which making things convenient. Even if you want to grab coffee or ice cream there are shops right outside so the location of the hotel is honestly amazing. The restaurants are all doing outdoor dining except for Sax at the Reeds which is currently closed:
