The Beach House

The Beach House

8/10 Good
"The place was at an excellent location with direct access to the beach. Many of the local attractions were in easy walking distance. The beds were comfortable and the shower had excellent pressure. The negative were that the deck lights don’t work and the flooring was worn and separating from the subfloor."
