We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Marie & Charles place! Looks exactly like the photos actually , looks even better in person. Although it's only 5 blocks to the Beach, it's a long 5 blocks. Took about 15-18 minutes to walk there. But a great neighborhood with a lot of nice eateries , shops & quaint Beach homes. Marie & Charles were great hosts even with their busy schedules. This home is directly in the SD Airport flight path & that takes some getting used to. We've stayed in OB previously so knew what to expect. The bed is super comfy & Marie's choice of furnishings absolutely gives you that Beach feel! She has an eye for decorating that's for sure! They have bicycles, boogie boards & all sorts of goodies for Beach use. OB is a laid back town!! Thank you Marie & Charles for an awesome stay! We hope to see you soon
