Just checked out of this rental after a 4 night stay over the Thanksgiving Holiday. We had a group of 17 ages 4-70. This rental was perfect for our large group. Every room has a private bath and that was priceless! We read the details of the property and the reviews thoroughly so we got exactly what we expected. Property advertises to bring your own linens, towels, toilet paper etc several times. We brung ours so there were no issues! We catered our meals so we didnt do any cooking. There is plenty of stuff for you to use to cook with if you wish. There is lots seating for big groups and plenty of space on the balcony and pool deck! We read the reviews and expected the worse. The reviews say that the property needed to be cleaned at check in so we brought stuff to clean at check in. We didn’t need them for the most part. No abnormal cleaning was needed. Just your regular Lysol spraying and Clorox wiping that you do at every rental. To our shock there was a pile of dog feces on the upstairs balcony. Not sure how the cleaners missed that. We were definitely angry at that. I messaged the owner about it and never heard back. I wasn’t shocked that they didn’t respond because of the reviews. All in all we could tell several issues that reviewers brought up had been resolved. You can tell the rental is heavily used in the summer. There are things that are broken throughout the house. But just note it and move on. The broken items didn’t impact our stay.

We loved the house!…we will be renting this house again❤️

Although the property was decent although it was not fully cleaned when we arrived and smelled a bit like cat urine, we had a rocky encounter with the owner. Before day of arrival I had not been informed there would be no linens. When I asked the owner about renting she said we could just use hers as long as we started to throw them in the laundry and did as much as we could before leaving. I thought this was a reasonable request and was very gracious. When it came time to leave we did as much as we could before the detergent ran out. About 3 weeks later I get a nasty text from her calling us rude and disrespectful for not finishing the laundry when we couldn't do anymore without detergent and having to leave. She continued to say we would never be coming back to OIB because she was going to tarnish our name? It was so bad I had to block her number. So with that being said just be wary of going to contact the owner if you need something.

Nice house just needs a better cleaning service…

Great location. Loved the outdoor space. House really needs some tlc but we still had a wonderful time.

The house was EXTREMELY dirty upon check-in.The refrigerators were not wiped out and had food spilled in them as well as the microwave. None of the tables (end tables, nightstands, etc.) had been dusted. We spent 2 hours upon check-in just getting the house to a point where it felt halfway decent. The bedding was dirty in at least 2 bedrooms. One of the bedrooms actually had potato chips under the comforter when we pulled it back to put sheets on the bed. The oceanfront master had what appeared to be a pee stain on the bed spread. The floors were sandy and dirty and there was a thick layer of dust under all beds. We mopped the kitchen and down the first-floor hallway and the water was BLACK when we dumped it. The toilet in one of the downstairs baths did not work and had to be constantly repaired. The worst issue we faced was the upstairs air not working on our first day (Saturday) and this did not get fixed until Wednesday. The temperature upstairs reached 80 degrees!!! We were told by the owner that “whining, fussing and complaining solves nothing”! We replaced the batteries in the thermostat and put new filters in all the returns to try and correct the problem ourselves. The AC repair company came out 3 times and was finally fixed on Wednesday afternoon. We had numerous belittling messages from the owner when we would text him with the issues we were experiencing. One message stated, “it wasn’t a problem prior to your arrival”! The last AC repair main stated that the main electrical wire going into the unit in the attic was corroded. So obviously it was nothing we, the renters, did, as was insinuated from the owner. There were also other issues – broken handle on the freezer of the black refrigerator, ants in the front window, mold in showers, sliding door downstairs onto the deck was extremely hard to open, etc. In the middle of the week, we had the silverware drawer facing fall partially off when we were opening it. It appeared the handle either had been repaired before or was installed with too short of a screw. The owner sent us a picture of this after we had checked out and said, “This was not caused by normal wear and tear, but he would take care of it.” We did nothing to cause this drawer facing to come off and showed this house more TLC while we were there. We also had to ask numerous times to get the Wi-Fi password. The owner refused any type of partial refund of the rental amount or even refunding the cleaning fee. Very Disappointed!

Our time at intensive care was just what the doctor ordered. Relaxing, enjoyable and a great time had by all. Had a few little issues but they were handled quickly. We would definitely go back again. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us.

The house was perfect for 18 people. The pool and pool deck is awesome for a large group. The house was dirty - did not look like it had been cleaned since last renters. We had to clean things in the house before using.
