The home itself was beautiful, clean, and exactly as described, and the location was excellent. We genuinely enjoyed our stay and appreciated the property.Unfortunately, the communication experience leading up to the trip was disappointing. I was unexpectedly asked to provide payment outside of the Vrbo platform which immediately raised legitimate security concerns. When I expressed hesitation after speaking with Vrbo support, I was met with dismissive and unprofessional responses rather than understanding.Telling a guest that “Vrbo doesn’t know what they’re talking about” and suggesting the reservation would simply be canceled because I wanted to verify payment security was inappropriate and unnecessarily confrontational. Any reasonable guest would be cautious in that situation, especially given the prevalence of vacation rental scams.While everything was eventually resolved and our stay itself was enjoyable, the interaction created unnecessary stress before our trip and left a lasting negative impression. We honestly wish this interaction had never occurred because the property and location were wonderful. We visit this area several times a year and would have happily considered staying here again. Unfortunately, because of how this situation was handled, we would not feel comfortable booking with this host in the future.The property deserves high marks, but the pre-arrival communication and handling of a legitimate guest concern fell well below

Very nice property. Family including the canines had a great time. Pretty much everything you needed was provided. Having a grocery delivery made a huge difference, no time wasted, more beach time. Great sunsets!

This property was great....close to the beach and great restaurants. It was spotless with very comfortable beds and a great outdoor space to enjoy morning coffee or afternoon reading. We will be back!

A wonderful stay just steps from the beach! This pet friendly property was super clean and perfect for our 4 person stay. If we needed to reach out to the owners, they were very prompt in their responses and helped us immediately. The cottage is in a wonderful location, walking distance from anything you want to do in OB and the kitchen is stunning! Thank you for a fantastic visit!
