The beach house is a peaceful haven, a place to escape everyday problems. Here, three families find their feelings intensified and their lives transformed each summer.
When thirty-year-old Julia, mourning the death of her husband, decides to sell the Santa Cruz beach house they owned together, she sets in motion a final summer that will change the lives of all the families who rent it year after … year after year. Teenaged Chris discovers the bittersweet joy of first love. Maggie and Joe, married sixty-five years, courageously face a separation that even their devotion cannot prevent. The married woman Peter yearns for suddenly comes within his reach. And Julia ultimately finds the strength to rebuild her life—something she once thought impossible.
With equal measures of heartbreak and happiness, bestselling author Georgia Bockoven’s unforgettable novel tells of the beauty of life and the power of love, and speaks to every woman who has ever clung to a child or loved a man.

Typical beach read book, was not really impressed with the characters, it was very predictable.
Good summer reading!
A real page turner! The author does a fabulous job of bringing the characters to life and you can’t wait to see what happens to them.
I enjoyed each of the families and was interested in what would happen in each of their lives
This would be a great beach read or one in a cozy chair on a rainy afternoon. The author makes you feel the joys and pains of the characters, and it still comes out all right, and you feel relieved.
I couldn’t put it down!
I’m still reading it but it’s got @ hold on me.
Loved this book and bought the sequels !!!

I enjoyed the story very much
A Beach House gives all it’s inhabitants something they’ve wanted, planned for or didn’t plan for. Some tears, more happy.
