After an extremely delayed flight, we arrived to the hotel after midnight. Earlier in the day, I had reached out to The Local House, and they made sure that we would be able to enter the building and access our room. Much appreciated! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The Local House was walking distance to the beach, and many other attractions. Also, the food was delicious. I would book a stay here again.
