(Please see earlier reviews from past visits ...similar accolades! ) I just love this house -- I have stayed here three times now and each time has been better than the last. Prepare yourself for a unique experience, and I mean that in the right way: (1) you will be staying in an authentic bungalow that Randi rescued and reinvigorated; as such, you become a part of OB's colorful history; (2) speaking of colorful...the house isn't just "arty" but a whimsical work of art itself; (3) comfortable -- and in two ways: you will feel comfortable and at ease, but you will feel comforted as well (welcome to de-stress central); (4) great location...you will see what I mean if you book, but for those familiar with OB, you are easy walking distance from both beaches in one direction and the best the town has to offer in the other (5) Private, with a capital "P"...dense garden landscaping and the layout of house and patio guarantee that; (6) best for last: Randi is an outstanding host and embodies the fun-loving spirit of OB. You receive an upbeat welcome and all of the orientation you need -- after that, your host is often hard at work in her studio and the house becomes your own personal sanctuary.
Last comment: This is a fun escape and rejuvenating choice for any guest, and particularly suitable if the ideal of staying in a historic cottage appeals to you. I am particularly at home in that setting and that is one of the reasons I keep going back.
