We were pleasantly surprised upon our arrival to discover that The Beach House is within walking distance to most of the bars and restaurants in Grafton.
However, this is kind of where the good ends.
This property *is* fairly spacious, but rather uncomfortable on the whole.
Both beds were very worn and both of us kept rolling to the middle through the night. The “lounge” seating (couches, chairs, etc) was anything but relaxing, with one loveseat and the rest of the furniture being outdoor/patio furniture. Definitely not what we wanted to come back to after a hot and fun day out in Grafton.
The house was mostly clean when we checked in, apart from some very old bar soap (as the hand washing option) in the bathroom and small bugs around the windows throughout the house.
There were random cleaning supplies, old blinds and an empty laundry basket in the corner of the kitchen. The side deck was nice to sit on, but also kind of a mess. None of this affected us or our stay, I suppose I just expected a little more attention to detail.
Aesthetically, most of the house follows the “beach house” theme, but quite a bit of the decor seemed haphazard and kind of thrown together. Again, not affecting the quality of our stay, but weird, nonetheless.
The communication with the host was virtually non existent once we arrived. I had a few questions at different times about the property and amenities. She responded once and then never again. Not sure if the listing stated that there would be bikes available at this property, but the house itself has signs that make one believe so. Never heard back from the host on that, so that was a bummer.
Overall, an okay stay, perfect location.
Definitely not appropriate for 5 people as listed. Would not stay again, probably wouldn’t recommend.
