From the very beginning of planning our beach trip, Chuck communicated with us in a very timely manner and gave a lot of great suggestions of where to eat and places to visit! We appreciated the flexibility of an early check-in when I realized our flight got in pretty early (7:25 am). When we arrived Chuck took us on a quick tour of his favorite places in OB. We ended up having breakfast at OB Surf Lodge, (be sure to try the Strawberry Brulee French Toast / Acai Wave Parfait / the Monte Cristo and our favorite...the Carnitas Benny!).
My fiance Joe and I spent a lot of time at the AirBNB a.k.a "The French Quarter," and despite renovation construction going on next door, and planes flying over from early morning 'til night, we actually got a lot of really great rest! Having a few snacks and beverages in the stocked kitchen was a pleasant surprise and we hit the local grocery store Krisp beverages + natural foods so we could eat in for a couple of meals. We also liked being able to watch our favorite shows on Netflix and having Wi-Fi access. We are super tidy people so when we asked if they had a broom so we could sweep up our sand from our multiple beach trips Chuck immediately brought one over! Seriously, Chuck was super helpful and always had a smile on his face and was the perfect host! When heading out for the afternoon of July 4th we ran into Helen and she gave us the name of a place for dim sum (called Jasmine), which we'll have to try out next time we're in town...so much to do, not enough time!
Chuck and Helen's place has the perfect location. Close to public transportation, lots of scooters to ride ( I suggest Lime...it was my first time riding a scooter and it was a blast!) and easy to walk to everything! Every place we went to we were treated very nicely and we had great service.
I can't say enough about how warm and friendly both Chuck and Helen are. We will definitely be back!
