What a great little spot. This terrific little spot is a short 2 blocks off the shopping drag on Newport (nice and close but far enough to allow for some distance of the busy-ness). At the end of the block is a great stairway to the rocky part of the beach, the sand starts over at Newport. This location was terrific.
The accommodations are all you could need for a little stay at the beach for a single traveler or a couple. Friends who don't mind snugglin up might not mind it either. Everything you could need was included. The kitchen was stocked with the dishes and pots, pans, cutlery, etc. There was even coffee and creamer, but I went and bought some freshly ground beans at the Apple Market around the corner and some milk. If you wanted to save money and eat in, this is a great spot for cooking. There is a table and two chairs to dine and a grill out front. Perfect for a beach vaca.
Some nice touches were the beach towels, chairs and boogie boards. Soap, shampoo, and lots of towels in the bathroom (it's a little bathroom, but does the job).
One of my favorite parts of this spot was the outdoor seating. Lots of Adirondack chairs and a picnic table. A friend came through and we had a nice quiet glass of wine after dark kicked back in the chairs. The property is very private and safe.
I had a small hiccup on check in, but Doug responded immediately and appropriately. I am only mentioning it to comment on how great his communication was. Even with a small issue, he was quick to correct and make it right.
Overall, this was a great spot and I would stay again if I came back to OB. Well worth the spend and much better amenities than when staying in a hotel.
