Perfect Beach Getaway
The Range was a beautiful escape! It was close enough to the OOB Pier that we could take a 20 minute walk for dinner, shopping, entertainment, and everything in between. It was also far enough away from the train crossings that we weren't disturbed by the train whistles, which for me was worth every extra step, especially when the kids were younger and light sleepers. The cottage is newly renovated with all the comforts of home - even items we never thought we'd miss. A storage bin with beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys was easily accessible so saved some room in our car for traveling. Everything inside was clearly labeled, including light switches, so the guesswork when staying somewhere new was basically non-existent. While there were many stairs within the cottage, the sleeping space was separated from the living space so early risers wouldn't disturb the night owls, or vice versa. The living space was gorgeous! Very open concept that the whole family could be together with plenty of room for everyone. The stairs to the private (quiet) rooftop deck were well worth the climb, since the view from the deck truly made our vacation! We could enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and ocean view without needing to leave the house. However, the beach was a 2-minute walk from the back door, so we could come & go as we wished. While the lighting in the living space was a bit dim for reading or detail work (I'm a huge jigsaw puzzle fan), we were able to enjoy our hobbies with little extra effort. While we've been going to OOB for 16 years and this is the 7th place we stayed, it is truly our family favorite! We are all hoping to keep our vacation tradition alive for many years to come at the Range! Highly recommend!
