Great spot, the place is clean and the room itself has plenty of space. The bathroom (mainly) the shower is exceptionally small, which was expected. If you are a large person, this shower may be difficult to use. We had no problems with it. Bed was comfortable. Doug is super nice and a pleasure to talk to.
The place is not really on the beach, as the title suggests... it's really about a five minute walk (as mentioned in the description). You have to walk down the street a bit, then walk down some stairs, then a couple of minutes to get to the actual beach. Not a big deal, but worth noting.
The only real issue here is airplane noise. At about 6am on every morning of the 3 days we stayed, planes flew VERY LOW at what seemed to be directly above the property. It is BRUTAL. The key here is EARPLUGS... with earplugs, it was not an issue. Without them, unbearably loud. I'm not kidding. Doug does mention this in the details at the bottom of the listing, but, in respect to potential visitors, it really should be made more obvious, even though it may affect his conversion rate.
Also, the cleaning fee is $100... pretty nuts.
To summarize, great spot, great communication, bring earplugs and enjoy the very quirky neighborhood that is O.B.
P.S. Eat fish tacos at Mike's Taco Club.
