A perfect location with everything you need. This is our second time at Beach House. This year we stayed in The Gables building where the pool is located. We preferred this building over the main hotel because the rooms were much bigger. Great memories and hope you come back!

Great location and nice outdoor space. On site restaurant and bar a plus. Casual beachy vibe. My room was cute and bed was super comfy. While windows were on the smaller side (historic hotel), I had lovely sea views. Beach bar area was nice but could use a little TLC.

Found a leftover Michelob Ultra bottle cap on the floor and for $900/night I would expect less sand on the floor and better wall patching, but other than that it was spectacular. Views and staff were excellent.

Cute, boutique hotel in a great location. 10 min walk from the ferry to arrive/depart on the island, and a solid restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with great views. As a hotel guest, you get free coffee each morning (that actually tastes good) which is a nice perk. As you can tell from the pictures, the rooms are very very small and no frills. Worth staying here!
