Great vacation home

We loved staying here! You can walk to shops and restaurants, and most importantly, the beach. Three decks made it easy to find a spot to relax in the ocean breeze. We loved have two fridges and such a large kitchen for cooking big meals.

Would stay here again!

The house was exactly as described, well outfitted with everything you need for an easy beach vacation. The location is perfect for families that want some activities without hassle. We walked to the beach, the shops, the pier and putt putt. The kids fished for hours off the dock. And owners were professional and easy to work with. We will be back!

Awesome house on OIB!

Location, location, location! Right behind the center of the island, so our kids walked to the park with no problem and were still in our view! This house a great place to stay if you have a large group! Spacious kitchen! 3 balconies with a view of the ocean to enjoy your coffee or cocktail! The 2 full sized refrigerators really came in handy! This was a short walk to the beach! Would definitely stay again!

We’ll be back

This was our second year here, and we all agree we love the location. It’s an easy walk to the beach, park, restaurants, shops, etc... We have plenty of room for our family and the kitchen is great for preparing dinner for a large group. There were a couple of maintenance issues, and the owners were proactive, responsive, and accommodating. We’re looking forward to returning next year for another great week!
