My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Brenden’s cottage! Excellent location, in a quiet, safe neighborhood. It’s close to the beach, shops, bars, restaurants. OB is very walkable, so you’re never too far from any particular place.
The lower level unit is cozy studio space that had everything we needed for the weekend. It’s the perfect amount of space for two people and a small dog. Clean bathroom with a spacious shower and plenty of towels. The kitchenette was also clean and well stocked. Didn’t use the hot plate, toaster oven, or French press, but I’m glad we had the option if needed. The filtered water pitcher was a nice touch!
There isn’t a driveway or designated spot, so finding street parking can be tricky, which is the norm for OB. However, we managed to find parking spots on the same street all weekend.
If someone is renting the upstairs unit, then you will probably hear footsteps above you. However, we really only heard them during the day. The nighttime was relatively quiet and peaceful.
Brenden was an excellent host and kept in contact throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Check-in was a breeze. He provided us with all the relevant information prior to arrival, so there were no surprises or hiccups.
All in all, I would definitely recommend Brenden’s cottage in OB!
