Some of the properties here (like Camp #1) have private areas that make staying here even better, but the location by itself is pretty ideal. Combines proximity to Newport Ave. and the Pier/beachfront but with enough distance to be separate from the more noisy parts of OB at the same time. Also nice: access at the end of the street (1 block away) to the waterfront where waves meet the rocks, a great lesser-known sunset spot. Camp #1 has excellent natural light, a very comfortable bed and a private patio to relax in comfort. Interior is very "beachy", simple yet all that's needed for everyday use. Good restaurants begin 1 block away, and it's 5 minutes to standing on sand or the Pier. Also close to bus connections so you don't need a car. Host Doug is very good at providing helpful info (check-in, etc). We will definitely stay again & recommend to friends.
