We have been coming to OIB for years, but had outgrown our usual condo rental option, so we started the search for a bigger, dog-friendly home with a pool. Julie was responsive from the start, out of the three properties we were looking at staying, she was quickest to reply and personable - I immediately had a good feeling about this one. From the moment we arrived, the house was in the perfect location - just a couple of houses down on the opposite side of the street was the public beach access, perfect distance for a big family and lots of stuff :) We brought our dogs with and they are older, so the elevator came in super handy for them (and our stuff too!). Julie's modern and updated home offered up several bedrooms (all with their own bathrooms), decks with outdoor patios on every level, and an open kitchen, dining, and living layout to die for! The gathering area opened to a huge deck, with an unobstructed view of the ocean and tons of outdoor furniture to enjoy family time both indoors and outdoors. There were bed linens on all the beds, plenty of fresh towels for all of us, and tons of dishes, silverware and cookware (items hard to come by with other VRBOs). We opted for the heated pool, which was perfect for a not-so-warm spring break stay. Lastly, Julie made sure to make our stay extra special by providing yummy dog treats for our fur babies - the perfect touch! We will definitely be choosing Julie's place again for our next visit to OIB! Thank you, Julie!!!

We had the most incredible stay at this beach home! From the moment we arrived, we were swept away. The house itself is a gem - spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The location couldn't have been better. Just steps away from the beach. Inside, the house is a haven of comfort and luxury. The bedrooms are inviting, each offering a peaceful retreat after a day of fun in the sun. The kitchen is well-appointed with modern appliances, making meal preparation a breeze. We especially loved dining on the spacious deck, enjoying the ocean breeze, the sound of the waves crashing, and taking in beautiful sunsets. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring that our stay was nothing short of perfect. They provided us with valuable recommendations for local activities and dining options, adding to the overall experience. We cannot recommend this beach house highly enough. We're already planning our next trip back - we can't wait to return to this slice of paradise!

This was our second time staying in this home. The first with Julie. Julie has made a lot of upgrades to the home that makes staying there enjoyable. Navigating the smart TV and streaming services was a little tricky for older members of of group but we managed. Most of our mornings and evenings were spent of the large decks play games, having breakfast or just relaxing. September is perfect here with little crowds and nice temperatures. Thanks Julie for allowing us to stay in your home. We would definitely come back.
