Doug's place is great! It is truly so close to the beach and the tide pools and walking distance to restaurants and Newport Ave. Doug is highly responsive and the place was clean and had everything you needed to explore OB!
Some parking tips: if you can, park before the evening time and you will get a closer location. If not, you'll have more success up the hill! If you only plan to hang out in OB, you will not even need a car.
