Outstanding location in OB - just two blocks from the beach and within easy walking distance to Newport Ave (the main commercial street) and many other restaurants, breweries, shops, etc. You can walk a block or two in any direction and find something entertaining. In the cottage, I particularly appreciated little thoughtful touches, like provided beach towels and beach chairs and various shower amenities. It's so much easier to pack for and enjoy a trip when you don't have to worry about extras like that. A couple of notes: there is no AC in the cottage, and it got very warm during our stay in August. There are also two virtually identical cottages - one in the front and one in the rear. The bedroom and bathroom (which is in the bedroom) in the front cottage are just steps from the front door of the rear cottage. If guests in the rear cottage hang out on their steps, they're practically in your bedroom/bathroom, so privacy and quietness can be a bit challenging. Just a couple of things to be aware of, depending on when you're planning to visit and what your priorities are. Abby, who helps manage the property, was very welcoming and responsive and made sure we had everything we needed upon checking in.
