Just need some suggestions as to the best floors used for beach houses or summer houses! Water normally drips on the floor coming from the beach so i'm very concerned as to what flooring i can use.

ceramic or vinyl tiles, or linoleum/vinyl sheet goods would work great in a wet environment.

avoid wood products, as they'll not do well with the moisture.

If these are on concrete foundations, Acid Staining the concrete works great!
