Emily is a preferred host in my opinion. She was very thorough in the itinerary and we didn't need her assistance for anything after reading though it. The cottage is super clean and cute and they made the best of the interior spaces to make the place very inviting. Built in storage, large sink, great water pressure (ideal for a nice shower), new furniture, comfortable bedding, etc... We couldn't have asked for more. I do not remember the listing saying how close it was to the beach so I was blown away to find out that I could throw a rock and hit the sand— I could also look down the alley and see the water. Also, there is onsite parking for one vehicle. Very key! i would look this place up again the next time I make my way to OB. :)
