9/10 Wonderful! (188 reviews)
Great room and fantastic place to stay. I do wish they had a better fan for the room as it was very hot in the room with the sun setting directly in there even with the windows open.

The Beach Bach is a great house for a relaxing holiday. It was clean with all the household items we needed. Especially good is the well fenced yard so we could relax while our 2 little dogs played safely outside. The hosts are very pleasant and helpful.
