More spacious than expected. The outdoor space was absolutely beautiful. Great location to downtown Beulah and the beach. I grew up in the area so the location was perfect for vision family and waking around downtown and enjoying the views. The property was well kept and clean. We were in town for some family events so I wanted to get there earlier than the 4pm check in time. The host was very accommodating! I couldn’t figure out how to get in (two entrances) so I called the host and they were very quick to respond, which was extremely helpful! Very family friendly! Plenty of space to enjoy large or small groups! All in all, such a great experience here! Thank you! ##### Melissa A.
