We didn't go for the beach, but the causeway is very close for beach access. There is a unit next door but they are separated by a breezeway, so it was very private and quiet.

"We had a wonderful time…. Beach house was clean, towels delivered, very well stocked kitchen. Ice maker in the kitchen Convenient washer and dryer just off the kitchen. Plenty of beach chairs in good condition and umbrellas for our use at the beach. Extra fridge in the storage area. The only negative comment would be there were no paper towels or rolls of toilet paper in the entire house when we arrived. When we left, we made sure to leave a roll in each bathroom and paper towels in the kitchen. Definitely recommend this house. OIB is a beautiful area."
