Look no further, this is the spot! I am an SD local and had my entire family from the Midwest fly out to visit for a week. I chose OB because it’s a chill town and it’s situated so closely to downtown and other attractions. We were happy to have booked Ed’s spot for a few reasons:
1.	Location: it is 2 BLOCKS from the beach and 6 blocks from the Newport strip. There are also bars and restaurants within 2 blocks. Grocery stores (Ralphs, Target, etc.) are just a short drive away.
2.	Space available – sleeps 4 comfortably - 2 in the queen room and 2 in the other room with trundle bed. If anyone sleeps on the pullout in the living room, consider pulling the mattress pad off the platform and sleeping directly on the floor…it was less noisy more comfortable.
3.	Amenities: kitchen is STOCKED with everything! Plates, dishes, pots, pans, towels, glasses, wine glasses, etc. Huge fridge and freezer with plenty of ice trays. Apple TV for Netflix is great. Nice courtyard with patio furniture and grills.
A couple things to consider if you’re not familiar with OB:
1.	Parking is not great in the evenings and weekends. If you have a small rental car, he has a spot in the back you can rent. Otherwise, make sure to snag parking during non-peak times.
2.	The house is under the outbound flight path. If planes taking off are bothersome, it might not be the place for you. It’s generally not constant unless it’s rush hour. If you like planes, you’ll think it’s cool.
My family had a blast, the beach is great, the bars are fun and you’re close to everything. I’ll definitely consider spending some extended weekends with friends when it’s available in the future. He’s got the complete package here; check it out! Thanks, again Ed!
