8.6/10 Excellent! (475 reviews)
This is the 5th time we've stayed at The Beach House in the last 10 years. We come back because the property and staff are excellent, and their customer service is top-notch. We feel like we're home when we stay here. We drive from New York each time because we fell in love with this place.
