Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Context: Life still definitely feels like a vacation right now , and a weekend at the beach is n't helping that , but goddamn is it beautiful down here . In the 3 years since I was last at the beach house , they have installed air conditioning and rebuilt the rickety deck and staircase . Also in that interim all of my cousins and I turned 21 ( or are close enough ) , so that makes life a little more pleasant . After a Thursday of being turned down for a loan by the bank ( bitches ) and what will henceforth be known as the Great Dental Apocalypse , a Friday at the beach was really nice . 
Question: What was the condition of the beach house 3 years ago ?
Output (English): The beach house needed some maintenance.
