Another fine stay at OIB Lovin’ Life! Our friends loved the location and how well furnished and well equipped this lovely home was. Never underestimate how nice it is to already have linens on the beds and TP and soap in the bathrooms when you arrive at the beach! Larry is such a kind and gracious host and his pride in ownership of this home shows in all of the details, large and small. Hope to book again! Thank you, Larry!

Fantastic

We rented this house to facilitate a ladies yoga vacation getaway. There were 8 of us between the ages of 55 and 80. The home was spectacular, immaculately clean and well appointed. The host was amazing, super accommodating, and accessible. The nearby beach access was literally 1 min walk away. We did yoga at the beach, on the upper deck and on the porch. There was plenty of space inside for all our other activities, including discussion groups and art work. The pool was lovely and we had one Soundbath around the pool and one on the upper deck. This host incidentally was one of the few who allowed unrelated groups to stay in his home and he truly went above and beyond to make sure our event was a success. We are extremely grateful to our host Larry and his wife for making this beautiful venue available to us.

Amazing stay and location, besides false advertising

My stay was great!! So close to beach and amazing property even nicer than the pictures show. More place than I thought very clean. The only thing is there was no hot tub as listed, the outdoor shower did not work, and the hot water only lasted about 2 people to shower each day which is rough when there is 15 of us. Other than that I would come back!!!

The OIB Lovin" Life house was perfect for our girls' trip. We enjoyed hanging at the pool and relaxing on the front porches. It is really close to the beach access for daily beach walks. The house was clean and well maintained. The communication with the owner was always quick and easy.

Great week vacation with family

The property was exactly as listed. Plenty of room for the 14 adults. Beach was right across the street but spent most of the time in the pool. A short walk to ice cream, restaurants and mini golf. Quick trip over the bridge to more restaurants and Publix. Already planning another trip!!!

8 stars!

We had such a wonderful day at Larry’s beach house. Another parent and I co-chaperoned beach week for our high school graduates, and the house was everything we needed and more. Truly, the pictures do not do the home justice. The house was immaculate when we got there, the kitchen is probably the best-stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen! We tried to come up with a kitchen tool that he didn’t have, and we failed. The location is great, walking distance to putt putt, shops, and restaurants but far enough away that once you’re at the house, you’re completely away from the crowd. Beach access was easy peasy, and the pool was a great afternoon respite. Larry was super responsive whenever I had a question, and when we realized the grill was out of propane, he was there within 10 minutes.

Beach trip 2023

OIB Lovin’ Life was the best vacation home for our family. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach. The beach chair wagon was much appreciated. The pool was clean and very inviting after a day at the beach. Our favorite place to be was the huge front deck. We started our day off drinking coffee and ended each day together rocking and enjoying the view and each other. The Wright’s were a pleasure to work with and we thank them for opening their home to us. They were quick to respond to any question we had. We are already looking forward to planning our trip for next year!
