For Pascack Valley residents, the Jersey Shore has long been a summer staple, but what if your next escape felt entirely elevated? Just a drive away, The Reeds at Shelter Haven in Stone Harbor redefines the coastal getaway, blending boutique luxury, thoughtful service, and a sense of seaside serenity.
Consistently recognized by Travel + Leisure as a World’s Best Resort Hotel in the Mid-Atlantic and a Condé Nast Traveler favorite, The Reeds is more than a destination. It is an experience that begins the moment you arrive and lingers long after you return home.
Where Coastal Elegance Meets Comfort
Set along the bay and just two blocks from the beach, The Reeds offers tranquil waterfront views alongside easy access to Stone Harbor’s pristine shoreline. The 58-room boutique property feels intimate yet indulgent, with each guest room designed to reflect a modern coastal aesthetic.
Inside, warm white oak flooring, soft neutral palettes, and subtle nautical details create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. Luxuries such as Frette Egyptian cotton linens, Malin + Goetz bath amenities, fireplaces, and private balconies in select rooms make every stay feel polished and personal. Whether you choose a spacious suite with bay views or a cozy guest room for a weekend away, each space invites you to unwind.
Dining That Defines the Destination
At The Reeds, dining is part of the experience. With multiple distinct culinary outlets, guests can explore everything from elevated coastal cuisine to casual bites without leaving the property.
Water Star Grille, set along the bay, pairs sweeping sunset views with standout dishes like lobster spaghetti fra diavolo, grilled branzino, and fresh raw bar selections. It is the kind of place where dinner turns into an evening.
Sax Restaurant & Lounge offers a year-round dining experience with a menu that blends comfort and sophistication, complemented by live entertainment and crafted cocktails. For something more relaxed, Buckets Margarita Bar & Cantina brings a lively atmosphere with Mexican-inspired flavors, while Stone Harbor Pizza Pub offers slices, local brews, and scenic views.
A Stay Designed Around You
What sets The Reeds apart is its attention to detail. Every aspect of the stay feels seamless and thoughtfully curated.
Mornings can begin with rooftop yoga or invigorating zumba, followed by a beach day where Beach Butlers handle everything from chair setup to food and drink service. On the bay, guests can enjoy complimentary kayaks and paddleboards or opt for a sunset cruise.
Back at the resort, the Roof Garden Sundeck offers a plunge pool, creating the perfect place to relax. For deeper relaxation, Salt Spa provides a 6,000-square-foot retreat featuring signature treatments and a Turkish Bath designed to soothe and restore.
More Than a Getaway
The Reeds is also a sought-after destination for weddings, celebrations, and retreats, offering flexible event spaces and a stunning bayfront setting. Yet what truly defines the experience is its ability to blend luxury with familiarity, capturing the nostalgia of summers at the shore while introducing a new level of sophistication.
