Oedaldo Island is listed as one of the 30 Cleanest Areas in Korea. In addition to the beautiful nature, one of the most popular features of this island is the seawater swimming pool at the entrance to the village. There are two swimming pools: one for children and the other for adults. Many people actually come to this island for this swimming pool every summer. Most of the houses on this island serve as a guesthouse. Among them, Oedaldo Hanok Pension is the only traditional Korean house built by the City of Mokpo in 2006 and sold to the current husband-and-wife owners in 2013. There is a romantic story behind how the young couple came to the island and bought the house. The husband quit his job and traveled the world for four years after a painful breakup. After coming back to Seoul, Korea, he accidentally bumped into the woman he loved. They got together again, got married, and bought this traditional Korean house to live on this island, and they continue to travel the world. Oedaldo Hanok Pension is situated very close to the sea. The pension consists of three stand-alone houses that all face the ocean, so the guests can see and listen to the ocean just by opening the door. The pension is very popular among the visitors to this island, especially because it’s only a 30-second walk to the beach. All you will see is literally the ocean when you open the door, which means you will constantly be reminded that you're on an isolated island whenever you open the door. Built on a large plot of land, the pension has a 2314m² grass lawn from which you can savor the view of the ocean. There is a pavilion in front of each stand-alone guesthouse including barbecue facilities for the guests to use. This is one of the few guesthouses in the country where you can have the luxury of watching the ocean while enjoying barbecue or riding a swing. The 'Bipajeong' house has two single rooms with capacity of up to four people, the 'Samhakjeong' house has three single rooms with capacity of up to eight people, and the stand-alone 'Mongnyeonjeong' house is for group guests of up to 16 people, making them a great place to stay for couples, families, and groups on a workshop. All the guestrooms are furnished with television, refrigerator, air conditioner, Internet connection, bathroom, and cooking utensils for the convenience of the guests. There is a terrace café in front of the guesthouse built by the husband-and-wife owners when they moved in here. The café serves dried pollack hangover soup, pork cutlets, seafood and green onion pancake, and smoked chicken as well as various types of other dishes, toast, and coffee. Because it's open from 8:00am to 10:00pm, guests can have three meals a day here. The pension also offers a number of experience programs, such as traditional tea making/drinking class where you can learn the traditional Korean tea drinking etiquette while trying the tea. You must make a reservation for this tea class at least one day in advance, and there must be at least two people who will participate in the program, which costs KRW 5,000 per person.

The living room of the Peony Room is equipped with antique furniture and pictures, whereas there are rafters, big beams, and wooden floor in the living room of White Dandelion Room. Daffodil Room and Apricot Flower Room also boast of traditional rafters and beams. Since Daffodil Room and Red Clay Room are small, they share kitchen and bathroom, and the rates are more affordable. The cafe in the corner of the yard, with thousands of vinyls and players collected by the owner, is a good place to listen to music, or have a cup of coffee or tea. It is also refreshing to have a walk along the path beside the spring running in front of a big old tree. At night on clear weather, you can enjoy a starry sky.
