I loved staying at Emily's light-filled beach cabin. It was very clean, quiet, cosy, and well furnished. The kitchen was fabulous (gas stove, ceramic sink, stainless steel fridge) and the bathroom was clean with good water pressure and hot water in the shower (no tub). The bed was very comfy. A hair dryer and clothes iron with ironing board were available for use.
The location is excellent. Less than a block to the beach. Far enough away from noisy nightlife to enjoy peace and quiet while being close enough to walk to the restaurants and shopping on Newport when the mood strikes. The airplanes are loud as their flight path is directly overhead but they don't seem to fly overnight and don't start until around 7am. It wasn't a bother.
There were a couple of brief power outages while I was there including a slightly alarming late-night visit from a man from the local hydro company. I didn't open the door to him but instead relayed his message to Emily via text so she could respond to them in the morning as needed.
Emily responded immediately to the first power outage despite being on her way into a work meeting. She came by the first afternoon and had it repaired before I returned in early evening. The second outage occurred as I was preparing to check out. Emily responded right away and offered to extend my check-out time. She called the hydro company and they planned to fix it later that day. There was heavy rain and floods for a couple of days in the area that were causing power outages around the time of my stay February 25-March 1 , 2017.
A few minor things need attention: The bathroom window is a bit wonky and takes extra effort to doesn't always close/lock properly. A few of the saucepans and pots are scratched likely from guests using metal utensils on them. Otherwise the kitchen amenities are excellent. The green bbq has a mouldy grill and needs a good cleaning. I wasn't planning on having a bbq but I peeked inside out of curiosity because I haven't used that style of bbq.
I highly recommend Emily's beach cabin and would definitely stay here again on a future visit to Ocean Beach!
