October 6th Weekend
The house was perfect for my 8 friends. Plenty of room, yard was great for Cornhole and the game room was fun. Walking distance to downtown was easy. Lior communicated with me throughout and we would recommend this house for summer trips to OOB. Thank you!

Great place!
Short walk to the beach, beds were comfortable. Love that it’s dog friendly… the internet went out and my husband reached out and everything was sorted very quickly! Very responsive!

Perfect for a large group!
The layout of the house was perfect for a family of 2 couples and 2 singles, all 21+ and 3 dogs. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the dishes, pans, and gadgets that we needed. 2 full bathrooms was a definite plus. The yard and game garage were bonuses. The location to the beach was a good hike, so we didn't feel guilty about all the ice cream! We would definitely recommend this property and stay here again!

Great house for families
Owner was responsive and attentive, the location was great, just a short walk to beach. The layout was great for families, the detached game room is a huge bonus! Only thing is because of the proximity to street, you can get some loud people walking by later at night depending on where you are in the house.
