Another fine stay at OIB Lovin’ Life! Our friends loved the location and how well furnished and well equipped this lovely home was. Never underestimate how nice it is to already have linens on the beds and TP and soap in the bathrooms when you arrive at the beach! Larry is such a kind and gracious host and his pride in ownership of this home shows in all of the details, large and small. Hope to book again! Thank you, Larry!

Fantastic Girls Trip

The OIB Lovin" Life house was perfect for our girls' trip. We enjoyed hanging at the pool and relaxing on the front porches. It is really close to the beach access for daily beach walks. The house was clean and well maintained. The communication with the owner was always quick and easy.

Enjoyed our 2nd year renting this home. Homeowners are excellent to work with. The house is a perfect fit for our family. We love the front porch where we spent all of our evenings. Easy walk to the beach and a beautiful refreshing pool. We will definitely rent again when returning to OIB!

Amazing stay and location, besides false advertising

My stay was great!! So close to beach and amazing property even nicer than the pictures show. More place than I thought very clean. The only thing is there was no hot tub as listed, the outdoor shower did not work, and the hot water only lasted about 2 people to shower each day which is rough when there is 15 of us. Other than that I would come back!!!

Fantastic

We rented this house to facilitate a ladies yoga vacation getaway. There were 8 of us between the ages of 55 and 80. The home was spectacular, immaculately clean and well appointed. The host was amazing, super accommodating, and accessible. The nearby beach access was literally 1 min walk away. We did yoga at the beach, on the upper deck and on the porch. There was plenty of space inside for all our other activities, including discussion groups and art work. The pool was lovely and we had one Soundbath around the pool and one on the upper deck. This host incidentally was one of the few who allowed unrelated groups to stay in his home and he truly went above and beyond to make sure our event was a success. We are extremely grateful to our host Larry and his wife for making this beautiful venue available to us.
