Girl’s Weekend at OIB

We truly enjoyed our stay at OIB Lovin Life. We had a group of 11 ladies for our Annual Girl’s Weekend and felt right at home. The house is welcoming and in the perfect spot so we can enjoy OIB. It is updated, beautiful and clean. The owner is quick to communicate with us each time we have stayed here. We will stay here again!
