This was a perfect spot for a beach getaway! Cottage was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, kitchen had everything needed to prepare meals if desired—but it was also within easy walking distance to multiple restaurants, bars and coffee shops, which we enjoyed. Beach chairs, towels and umbrella were handy and it was easy to walk to the beach. Hosts were very responsive to questions and we appreciated the detailed guide with house rules, checkout procedures and local recommendations. One of the nicest VRBO experiences we’ve had—we look forward to coming back!

Perfect cottage getaway

We had such a great time staying here with our six month old baby. The included pack and play was wonderful, and dedicated parking was a huge plus. Lots of thoughtful touches in the property and mini split A/C option was great. The fridge has a water dispenser which was so handy! Bed was comfy, great water pressure. We appreciated access to beach chairs as well. We'd absolutely stay here again!

Great space and location. The owners were communicative and we were even able to check in early which was a big win. Very near the beach and we will definitely seek this rental out again in future. By far our best rental experience in OB. Thank you!
