Was here for a wedding. It was very hot as all the other reviews have stated. The A/C needs an upgrade. Other than that it was a nice place for a gathering.

Civitan Beach House has so much potential if taken care of better for the perfect beach wedding venue. A little of a week ago we had my wedding there. The restrooms male & females were disgusting!! Each area has a dressing room, stall areas that probably haven't been cleaned in a decade. Dead roaches covered the floor in the male stalls, also hangers and other misc. items were left behind in the stalls in both restrooms. They are very concerned to keep sand off the clean the floors but have never taken the time to actually clean the restrooms properly. Now this is an older building but maintenance on ac units has fallen short. After returning inside from ceremony the temperature read 84 degrees. My sister reached out to Pete to try to find a solution to get the temperature down. When he arrived his solution was nothing, he was very nice but offered nothing but instead said if he lowered temperature ac would freeze up, so he did not lowered ac, leaving 100 guests in an 84 degrees temperature in the middle of summer. I was very disappointed by how hot we all were and very embarrassed the entire wedding constantly feeling the need to apologize to my guests the night of my wedding. I highly recommend if booking this venue checking with Pete & Lauren if these items have been taken care of.

The lady who runs the venue is so disrespectful! Also, the venue is very dirty. I would only recommend booking this place because it is right on the beach. Other than that, for the price you will need your own cleaners and a thick skin to work with the owners.

I was at the Civitan for an event recently and I would say to stay away from the place. The venue itself is very cute and really nice outdoor beach view. However the lady that runs the venue, Debbie is extremely rude, truly mean and unpleasant. She makes you feel like you are imposing on her. I have never experienced this level of total disregard from someone in a service oriented business- totally disrespectful. She should not be in this line of work, dealing with people that are looking to celebrate a special day as she is a totally joyless person. She pushes you out before your time is up, she argues and yells at you. I don't recommend paying someone to treat you like this. Find a place that is happy to have your business. Judging from many other reviews- many other people feel the same way.

Myself and two other families hosted a high school graduation party here in June and it was nothing short of amazing. The venue is a perfect location and the inside is spacious. Tons of tables were available to use and a bonus sound system we didn't even know about! A large outside deck afforded the kids in attendance to be outside where there was room for corn hole and cam jam or to be inside with the adults. The only small kink was the parking lot which became bottle neck at times but that was to be expected being directly in the beach. We knew this may be an issue beforehand so no surprises! The location offset any trouble the lot caused. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone looking. The entire staff was always quick to answer any questions! Would host another event here in a heartbeat!
