Doug's place is just as described...but better! We stayed at the start of our vacation and we were able to stop by again and stay near the end. Doug went out of his way to accommodate us on a very short notice so we did not have to stay somewhere we were unfamiliar with. We enjoyed having a kitchenette area to prepare our morning tea and breakfast and eating out by the honeysuckle fences in the courtyard. We enjoyed each other, the beach, pier, surfers, a drum circle, restaurants, breweries, the local farmers market and sometimes watching the overhead view of the planes flying into the fog. We felt really safe and comfortable and people were friendly for both of our stays at OB. What a great dog/cat community too!
