Jill keeps her vrbo very clean! She has the gift of hospitality and worked with our family of 6 when I made a mistake in booking- she fixed it! Super friendly and helpful!!
We had a fabulous time. Jill supplied everything we needed especially in the kitchen. Utensils and pots and pans were in great shape. Everything was very clean. It was wonderful that we had parking right at the beach! No need to carry our beach items for blocks. Definitely will come back next year!
Exceptionally clean, fit our needs perfectly! And free beach parking was a bonus.
Great property. My only complaint was there was no outdoor shower or hose to clean off from the beach and no place to hang wet towels or bathing suits. Obviously very minor inconvenience!
We stay in OOB every year. A short 10 min walk to the beach and the center was not this cottage, it was definitely more like 24 min to the center and 15 to the beach with a walk up a hill. But she did provide a free parking pass to the beach. The main issue for me was the ants!!! There were little ants everywhere constantly! And I didnât bother telling her because there were little ant trapâs everywhere so there was nothing else she was going to be able to do Iâm sure, it was just really gross, on the stove while cooking, crawling on your feet in the kitchen, just everywhere!
Also, for a 3 bdrm cottage there were no mirrors! Itâs hard to get ready to go out at night with 4 women in a cottage and no mirrors!
Unfortunately I wouldnât stay again. The neighbor hood was cute and quiet!!! The owner accused me of not having permission to bring my dog. I offered to send a text of our prior conversation she declined and soon âfoundâ the message!
Work was done on the house most of the time of our stay. One evening the owners drove by 4 times by the premises . Maybe not the right line of work to be in if you donât trust people.
We wouldnât rent again for obvious reasons.
We had a great stay at this property! There was plenty of room. We loved the ac system. The free parking, just steps away from the beach was priceless! The beds are very comfortable. We would stay again and highly recommend!
Enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and clean unit which was a 10 minute walk to the beach. Things that I wish I would have known ahead of time that may be helpful to future renters:
-This rental is non-refundable (I didn't read the listing thoroughly).
-Once booked, you have to supply the names of all those staying. The contract states if someone sleeps over not on the list, you are evicted for the remainder of your stay. Contract also states owner can enter property at any time. (this did not occur). The owner was present on the property when we checked in.
-There is only dinnerware for 6 people (we had 8)
-There was no vegetable peeler, whisk, and only 1 large serving spoon. Bring your own spices, tin-foil, plastic wrap, etc.
-Only 2 rolls of toilet paper are supplied (they were gone in 2 days). Additional paper towels and trash bags would be useful too.
-Trash pick up is actually Friday. Best to put your trash out early Friday morning vs. Thursday night if you want to avoid the seagulls ripping through your trashbags.
-Clearer instructions on trash pick-up, how to use the t.v. (couldn't figure out how to watch regular channels), and the air conditioner (we froze for 2 days until we figured out how to turn down and turn off) would have been helpful.
-To be able to lock the bathroom door, you need to lift up on the door to latch it shut first.
-Shower nozzle is tempermental, but once you get it the right temp there is plenty of hot water and good water pressure.
-check out is 10am, however staff were taking out our leftover trash, recyclables, etc. outside starting at 9:15. At 9:35, the cleaning lady was sitting at our picnic table smoking a cigarette. By 9:45, the whole crew including owner were at the picnic table. This felt intrusive and that we were being rushed.
All in all, it WAS a wonderful stay and we were quite satisfied.

Great space, very comfortable rooms and space. 15 minute walk from downtown or the beach. Great for family and kids. Overall a great experience. Thanks Jill!
Kitchen was stocked very well. The place was very clean and comfortable. The host was very easy to communicate with. It was a bonus that we had our own parking space. The bathroom door did not latch or lock. There was quite a bit of noise from upstairs unit.
