This rental easily earns a perfect score for location and value. Itâs tiny, but the owners do such a good job optimizing the space that my wife and I quickly got over the smallness of the studio -- about the size of a hotel room with kitchenette.
The king bed was plenty comfortable. The a/c, wi-fi, & swivel-mounted TV all worked well. The kitchenette has a small stove/oven, microwave, good-sized fridge/freezer, and enough gear to make small meals. Thereâs not much counter space nor a dishwasher.
The location could hardly be better: a 2-minute walk to a nice clean beach with good waves. It got pretty crowded during the day, so we preferred evenings on the beach and took dinner there twice; it was easy as the hosts thoughtfully provide a beach cart, chairs, an insulated cooler bag, and beach towels.
The building is just outside the center of OOB, so itâs quiet enough all day (except when a train rumbles through every few hours) but if you walk even a minute or two towards the center, youâll be in the thick of it. The lot is plain but has a couple of grills and picnic tables, and ample parking. A variety store across the street can cover almost anything you need.
Co-owner Elissa was super-friendly and responsive. Check in/out was easy. We liked the key-free door lock system. We lacked nothing during our stay.
Unless you need lots of room to spread out and pace around, this rental is a great choice for two people to enjoy all OOB has to offer. Would definitely rent again.
