Our shore vacation

This was the perfect place for our family. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood but only a few minutes walk to the beach. The house was so nice and had plenty of room for our family of seven. Really nice comfortable furniture and everything you need for a nice vacation. We loved the front porch. That was our go to place. Ryan, the host was great. He was so accessible anytime I had any questions. I would highly recommend this house. We hope to be stay there again.

Incredible Experience @ OIB!!

This house is the best. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 3 kids. Great location close to the beach access also a big perk having the waterway in the back yard. Having most all the beach accessories at the home was a big help for our family!! Access to the beach front pool was a huge hit for the kiddos!!

Great family week 2024

Our family had a fantastic time in this lovely beach house. The house was an easy walk to the beach even for our 3 year old twins. The house was perfect for our family. The communication prior to check in and during our stay was excellent. We had a small issue with the dishwasher but was fixed that day .Great memories of our trip to OIB.
