We took my 85 year old parents down to OIB for a quick weekend getaway. The building elevator was fantastic for them to come and go easily. The condo is spacious and the location on the island is quiet and peaceful this time of year. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept great. One thing that would have been better is that if the primary bathroom would have had a walk-in shower for my parents to use. They are both very mobile but stepping into a tub can be a little risky. They did use the adjoining room's bathroom for showers ( which wasn't occupied) and it had a walk-in shower. The property manager Cliff was amazing and communicated throughout the booking until check out. It was a great weekend getaway.

Had a great time at the beach with family. We rented side by side condos. 4B is comfortably furnished and the kitchen well equipped. A few areas need a little more attention from the cleaners - the oven, some carpets, the shower enclosure in one bathroom.

Love the layout of the villa, perfect for large group! The pond below the deck was full of turtles, fish, and even an alligator—which provided lots of viewing entertainment!

Lovely condo close to the beach
Have been visiting OIB for the past 10+ years and love these condos for their close proximity to the beach. This one was very nice, recently repainted with a well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, and plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Great communication too.

Great location - sub standard cleanliness and inadequate supplies
The location of the property was great, convenient to beach and the town. Check in was easy and convenient. However, the bad signals started when we got a message from the property manager two days b4 arrival that we needed to bring our own cleaning and paper products. Yes, even TP, paper towels, napkins, laundry detergent, hand soap, dishwasher detergent, and dish soap. Then we arrived to find a dead cockroach on the kitchen counter. There was blood spatter on a mirror in a bathroom, there were spaghetti noodles on the counter and kitchen floor, mold in the grout in the showers, chips in and around the coffee table and the corners of the tile flooring look like they'd never been cleaned. We were stunned at how filthy the unit was. The manager offered to have someone come to clean again, but we had just arrived from a long trip and didn't want to have someone cleaning around us as we were getting our baby's sleeping area set up. We subsequently found 5 more cockroaches over the course of our 4 night stay. The overall experience was certainly less than satisfying as we felt we couldn't get comfortable in such a dirty space. The check out process was weird in that they wanted us to wash, dry and fold towels before checking out at 11am. And remember, this request came without providing any laundry detergent. We did all the towels the night before, but the morning shower towels had to be left due to lack of time and detergent.

Overall positive experience
The condo is spacious and feels even bigger than it is. The condo was clean but lacked a deep clean feel. Something I expected given the current climate with COVID-19 concerns. I was disappointed to find several items broken upon arrival. I reached out to the owner, and he was very apologetic and responded quickly to have the items addressed. The location was ideal for the ocean, just a short walk. The pool was further (far enough that we drove there) and the pool was connected to bar/restaurant so we could not bring our own adult beverages. This wasn't spelled out in the description. Other than those points we had a positive experience and enjoyed our stay.

I wish the condo would have been clean. I don’t think it had been. I had to go through and wipe and sweep everything. Especially the floors and bathrooms. The carpet is also really bad. It needs a good cleaning. The mAin TV is soo old, we could hardly watch it. Please upgrade like the bedroom.
