OIB12 The Doobler

Great house. Clean when we arrived. Great ocean view!

Need a great house for a relaxing vacation? Book “The Doobler”! We recently stayed at the house for a reunion of six college friends. The house was perfect! It was spacious, conveniently located, and clean. The beds were comfortable, and we loved that each room had its own bathroom. It is designed to meet the needs of small groups of friends or families. The house was well stocked with bath towels and shampoo/conditioner/soap. The kitchen had everything you need from dishes to spices. We cooked most meals at home and ate like royalty. The new grill cooked our steaks to perfection. The plethora of grill tools brought smiles to our “grill master”. We utilized a rental company to have bikes delivered to the house. Biking around the island was fun and easy. The house is close to the pier, ice cream, a great coffee shop, and a few restaurants. It’s a quick drive to the grocery and seafood markets. While the house is technically three stories, the elevator makes loading and unloading a breeze. We didn’t use the elevator other than that, but it’s perfect for families of all ages and abilities if stairs are a concern. Our favorite aspect of the house were all the porches. They offered a place to congregate, to sit quietly among the sounds of the ocean, and to watch the waves of the ocean roll in and out. The main porch served as our “home studio” to practice yoga almost every morning. The porch is the perfect place to take photos during sunset hours. This house made our college reunion a trip one to remember. We would book this house again in a heartbeat!

This place is listed as a dreamy beach house with a great location. Upon arrival we came into a disgusting house and had to waste our entire first day cleaning it. Would not recommend to anyone.

Our stay at the vacation home was disappointing due to several issues. Upon arrival, we found the house in poor cleanliness, requiring us to clean areas like the toilets, sinks, and under the beds ourselves. The home showed significant wear and tear, the A/C unit upstairs was sporadic at best, and ants were a constant problem on the ground floor. Additionally, the bottom lock stopped working midway through the week, and it took two days to reach a resolution. We also lost access to the third-floor room a week before our arrival with no compensation offered. Overall, the property is in need of much better upkeep.

The view from the main area is beautiful!!!

The view and the number of beds were the only thing I can say we loved. See notes under “cleanliness.” Although we had to call several times about this property, we always got a quick response. Sayin that, we should not have to handle all of these issues on our vacation!
