The property would have been great aside from the fact that it was in the middle of construction so that the outside seating areas were far from ideal. The cleaners do not do a great job (mens shoes left under the sink in one of the bathrooms, mold in the small refrigerators, overall didn't seem to be cleaned very well.

Restful

Property manager was quick to respond, helpful, gave information promptly. The view was fantastic, parking was great. The home is an older home, but was layed out well, functional for multiple familys, and had nice bedrooms. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking in! We will rent again.

Long overdue Beach Vacation

Lovely beach front home. Very roomy and comfortable. A bedroom and bathroom for every couple. A very well stocked kitchen, could use a little updating. We really enjoyed the beach location, never crowded as between two public beach accesses. The week went by too fast.

Great House for our family

This house was perfect for our family. It's not fancy but has lots of space and most of the bedrooms are large. It's a huge advantage that each bedroom has its own bathroom. We had a few things that needed to be addressed after we arrived, but Cliff was extremely prompt and took care of the issues. Our family loved this house and we are hopeful to rent it again next year. We all agreed it was the best house--for us--yet!

Thanksgiving destination

We thiroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was perfect layout for our family with plenty of space and plenty of comfortable beds. The kitchen was well stocked with anything and everything needed to prepare a meal. I have rented many houses through the years at OIB and this was by far the best layout. Cliff, the host, was also readily available for any concerns or questions. He was truly an asset. Have it on my bucket list to visit this place again.

Vital repairs for a great house!

This is a great house that needs special attention . Tha layout is perfect for my family but it needs much needed repairs before I will rent again. I sincerely hope these are addressed before next Thanksgiving. Cliff is a good host and responds to any concerns promptly.

Beach Week

First time we tried taking our adult children and spouses along with grandkids to the beach for an entire week. It was better than expected. The house more than accommodated everyone. Easy access to the beach made the trek with a 5 year old and a 2 year old that much easier. Some issues popped up that the manager and home owner jumped on quickly. OIB is one of the best beaches for young kids and family’s Can’t wait to do it again!

The host was always prompt and accurate in all communication. The house is dated and needs major remodeling. House was clean on the surface but needed deep cleaning. Flooring in lower level uneven and questionable stability. Minimal landscaping done. Mold on shower curtain in bathroom. Issues with cockroaches and AC but as I said, the host was prompt with addressing theses issues. The house delivered what it promised: lots of space and ocean front and well stocked with what is needed for a vacation.

This place was nearly perfect for our group of 10 friends. We love cooking and the kitchen was stacked with anything you could need. Being right on the beach was not only beautiful, but extremely convenient. It was so nice to be able to go out at any time of the day and come right back without having to haul things for blocks or get into the car. They have multiple tables set up so you can play games or put a puzzle down without having to clean it up for everyone to eat. There is plenty of room for everyone and everyone had their own bathroom in space. It was extremely nice! We had a few issues, but the host was SUPER FAST to respond. A communication from the host. The bad: the rooms were nice, but the bed situation is NASTY. You have to bring you own linens if staying for less than a week. It warns you in the listing, but it doesn't warn you that you have to make the beds before you leave - meaning the toppers and bed spreads don't get cleaned. You really have to trust whoever was there before you. The people there before us were *disgusting*. There was a giant fresh urine spot at the head of the bed that had leaked through the mattress topper on to the protector. They had made the bed fully over it to try to hide it while it was still wet even. The host apologized, but I feel like he could save himself if he would just pay to have cleaners there for longer to change things out. There were also numerous GROSS pillows, and beds with hair and sand on them.

Bray's Rays...not so bright

The property has not been kept up. Kithen drawer fronts fell off in our hands, kitchen shelving fell out of the cupboards, electrical issues throughout the interior and exterior. Light bulbs left burned out and not replaced. Holes in window frames allowed bugs and rainwater into the home. Cockroaches and ants throughtout the house. Burner not working on stove, no space for groceries to be put. Dresser drawers broken and repairs attempted with duct tape. Beach accessories and charcol grill are rusted and unusable. Rusted nails protruding from deck and boardwalk to the beach. Hazardous to small children and to the rest of us. This property should be de-listed from VRBO until repairs or a complete rebuild is done. A complete waste of our time and money!

The property is in a great location...on the beach. The deck was new, and it's an easy walk to the sand. The property is older and outdated, but the space is great for a large family. We especially liked the ability to close off two areas for use of the sofa beds, giving privacy to those who slept there. The owner is VERY responsive in answering questions.

Location was great and the beach was wonderful. Older home kind of dirty, old lighting and bathrooms. Old small refrigerator, ice maker didn’t work. No outside shower..under the house where the grill was had construction material, paint rollers, electrical debris. No comfortable furniture on the decks just old plastic chairs..A/C worked but some rooms were not as comfortable as others..Just a few minor upgrades would have made it great.
