We had a wonderful stay at the Beulah apartment. It was one of the most thoughtfully designed and comfortable rentals we have stayed in. We appreciated the many hooks and storage, and the well-stocked kitchen with quality appliances and utensils. Everything was comfortable and the owners were responsive to any requests. The location was a short walk to Beaulah beach where we found tennis/pickleball courts and a fishing pier. The location was a great jumping off point for the surrounding area.
