Amazing

Best beach house we've stayed in. Clean, close to the beach, fully stocked kitchen. We probably spent more time on the dock out back than at the beach. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely Home with Canal Access

Loved our stay!

Absolutely loved Steve and Patty’s house in OIB, very close to the beach, and we enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking on the canal. It was our first time renting a house that allowed pets since we recently got a small dog and the house was extremely clean. Loved that it had towels and lines for us to use so we didn’t have to bring our own. Owners were also very pleasant and quick to respond when we needed them.

This home is cozy, comfortable, clean and close to the beach. The AC works wonderfully - important on those humid days. We loved and used both decks to watch all the action. We'll be back!

Nice place

This was a very nice property and very close to the beach. Enjoyed it very much. The only downfall and this is not specific to this property but it would be nice,especially when we pay sooo much per night if toilet paper Kleenex paper towels etc would be provided to at least get us thru a couple of days

Perfect!

This property was perfect for a get away with my husband and family. We enjoyed several things about this property: - Location: The location was great with a beautiful view of one of the natural canals and only a short walk to the beach. - Kitchen: There was plenty of room to cook in the kitchen and a large table where we had lots of family meals. - Outdoor Living: We enjoyed the front and back decks, the floating dock, swinging on the multiple swings on the front and back decks, and enjoyed playing corn hole in the backyard. - Beds: All bedrooms were nicely furnished with very comfortable beds in all bedrooms. Overall, we would defintely stay here again!

Perfect place for us!

This house was perfect for us. After visiting OIB for 30+ years on large family vacations, we wanted to take our dogs in the off season (first time ever for us with dogs). The house was absolutely perfect for us -- very clean, well spaced out, and comfortable. The fenced in back yard made it so easy with dogs -- a big plus. And the mattress -- I need to get one because it was the most comfortable I had slept on. Steve was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We will stay again if we bring our dogs back. Highly recommended!

roomy, well decorated but needs to be better cleaned

While the house was both roomy and nicely decorated, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the kitchen and linens. We grabbed dinner to eat in on our first night and discovered dishes and silverware in the cabinet and in drawers were dirty with food. And our plans to prepare meals were sidetracked as the cookware was mostly unusable. The bedspread and sheets had to be laundered upon arrival because the smell was both strong and unpleasant. We wanted it to be a lovely place, but having to wash linens and clean other people's dishes took some of the vacation out of our stay.

Canal Front and Close to Beach Access

Overall we loved this house. It was very close to public beach access, about two blocks. We walked with our 3 year old and carried our one year old and all the beach great no problem. It is canal Front and has a dock which is nice for fishing and relaxing. Caught some small fish with my son. The inside of the home is very updated with nice furniture and appliances. Our one year old was crawling around and we noticed her hands were dirty/black from the floor so the cleaning crew should probably mop more or at least more thoroughly. We wouldn't have noticed without having a crawling baby though. But that is the only complaint and even so would definitely stay here again. We say it's a great place and highly recommend it!

Great time

This house was very roomy and great layout for our family. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you need if you wish to cook in. Clean and up to date. The location was perfect. We loved setting on the back porch over looking the canal. Only a very short walk to the public access with a nice board walk to the beach. The owner was very accommodating and responsive. Great neighborhood and an amazing house.
