This place was amazing. It was sparkling clean, comfortable, and LOCATION! Private, safe, off-street parking; easy walking distance to the beach -- the tide pool area, the sand beach -- and all OB has to offer. The kitchen will serve you well for simple in-house cooking and the outdoor space is cozy for those times you want an outdoor hang out away from the bustle of OB itself (an "urban oasis" as Doug calls it).
Doug responded quickly to our questions and sent helpful reminders about both house policy and hints for local attractions and amenities (restaurants, of course, but also grocery stores and laundromats). You have access to beach toy: towels, boogie boards, beach chairs. The neighbors are quiet and respectful -- that is the vibe and expectation for the space.
We'll be back and have already recommended it to friends.
