My husband and I just came back from a three night stay in OB and Aaron’s cottage was perfect for us! Everything was exactly as described and looks just like the photos. It’s on a nice quiet residential street (aside from the sound of airplanes taking off and landing, but that is all of OB. Not bothersome to us, but if you like to sleep in, bring earplugs because the first flights take off at 6:30 am. Or just use that as your alarm clock:) Aaron was very responsive to all of my questions and checked in with us after we arrived to make sure everything was ok. He also had a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived:)
On a side note, OB is a lively, fun little beach town with a ton of bars and restaurants all within walking distance of the house. You can also take a longer walk down to Sunset Cliffs via the staircases at the end of many of the streets. It’s a fun adventure as some stairs are washed out, so you’re up and down them a few times and weaving your way around the neighborhood until you make it all the way to the end. We can also recommend Wonderland for drinks and views of the beach and pier, Pizza Port for great beer and pizza and the Nest and Lazy Hummingbird for coffee and a small healthy breakfast:)
