Great property! Ideal location for a large group; easy access to the beach; well-stocked kitchen; plenty of outdoor funiture by the pool; downstairs refrigerator came in very handy. Host was extremely responsive.
Great property with great views all around. Rented the property for my familyâs yearly beach trip, and for the first time, no one had any complaints about the house! The property was well maintained, and the owner was prompt to respond to any minor issues. The only bad thing was having to leave! Would definitely recommend this property!
We had a lovely stay with our family celebrating my dads 70th birthday - the owner even left a cake for him! Chris was wonderful to deal with, very helpful and genuinely wants his guests to have a great time. We were very happy with our stay!
Had a great couple days getting away for spring break with friends. Check in process was smooth and easy thanks to owner Chris. Property was just a short walk to the beach- perfect with little ones!
Overall a very nice stay! The only downfall was the elevator in the house was not working and was hard for some family members to get up all the stairs. We absolutely loved the area and will return again.
All ages enjoyed this vacation. For the non beach lovers the heated pool was a hit. Very short walk to the beach . Enjoyed the nightly sunsets and the deer. Loved having decks on all sides
Weâve been coming here for years and itâs a perfect fit for our 18 person crew. He did pool short walk to the beach and very nice house. Book it early.
This is 3rd year we had my family reunion at this cottage. Iâve been renting ocean cottage for 40 years and this is by far the best. Itâs has a lovely view, well furnished, and an owner whoâs very accommodating. Overall a fantastic ocean cottage...
19 people...5 families... we had a blast!!! The owners were awesome and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect!!! We will definately look in to this property again should we return to beautiful OIB!!!
The home was clean and the layout was good. They provided several amenities. The views and the location were excellent.
The pool area was clean and provided lots of sitting space. The refrigerator on the bottom floor near pool was very convenient and a great addition.
We would recommend this home and location.
This property was a very good fit for our family. It was cleaning. The owner wa very responsive and we did have a good timecomfortable but seemef to be in need of some updating and a thpurogh cleaning
Had 18 adults stay for a long weekend in September. Great views and a well-stocked kitchen for cooking. I rented many houses and this had the most coffee, spices, and kitchen supplies I have ever seen. Brian was a great host and communication was easy.
Highly recommended.
The host was wonderfully accommodating and communicative! We even had early check in. Plenty of space, plenty of pool/beach toys, comfortable beds. A huge plus was that there was an ice maker on bottom floor! We never had to buy bagged ice.
Overall very nice. We had rented the house next door, and the day of check-in the owner informed us that the elevator was out of service. He got in touch with these folks and they were able to quickly help us.
We loved our stay here! The house has everything you need for a week or two of relaxing at the shore: beds were comfortable, most have their own bathroom, the kitchen has all the pots, pans, and utensils you could need. The kids loved the pool, especially the outdoor TV. We also spent most of the day at the beach which was easy because the walk is short. We had a couple questions throughout our stay and the host was always quick to respond. In short, there's no doubt we'll stay here when we come.to OIB next year.
Another year under our belt at Papa's Porch! 7 dad's and 11 daughters. Can't ask for a better location with perfect views. Chris was super responsive and made sure everything was in place for our arrival. Highly recommend it!
Our group of 7 couples gets together at the beach every summer. This house was perfect! We loved the elevator, pool, bedrooms and all the bathrooms! The house was well stocked and clean! The ocean views from the wraparound decks were awesome! We had 8 cars and this house sits at the end of the street where we enjoyed extra parking space! We hope we can come back next year!
4 generations of our family gathered for a week at Papaâs Porch where we celebrated our motherâs 85th birthday, a niece recent engagement and two baby reveals. We had a great week to say the least and found this 8 bedroom house very comfortable and nice. We especially enjoyed late night conversations on the large porches and poolside. Kudos to our host who checked on us and was responsive when necessary. We highly recommend Papaâs Porch and hope to do this again.
Papa's Porch is a quiet place in a busy world. Close access to the center of the Island with great views. We like to cook at home so that we can have plenty of fellowship and the kitchen was fully stocked. Pool area was nice with nice roomy outside shower which was wonderful for the 4 children. The essentials on hand were great too. Of course the porches were well visited.
Thanks for a very memorable time.
