Great area if you're there to enjoy a baseball game. Good food within walking distance. Sharon was very responsive and a great host.

This trip was wayyy better than we could have ever imagined. It was challenging to understand how much time we would use to travel but were pleasantly surprised by how convenient and comfortable this location was to so many great local places, the short beach walk was perfect for my elderly father who could not walk long distances. Having a cooler, beach chairs, beach bags and beach towels was such a great way to save us time. Joe’s Beach house was very well equipped with all the necessities needed to have a great stay, save us time and we were able to spend our time making memories and enjoy a relaxing and comfortable stay. Sharon went above and beyond providing details and researching golf cart rules. The lift was a great addition for my father who could not use stairs. We can’t wait to return to Joe’s Beach House one day. Thank you Sharon

Loved this space. Right in the middle of downtown and it was awesome. Very walkable with every type of restaurant imaginable within a few blocks. We'll be back for sure.
