Oyster Pointe - Timeshare Rental

General Description:
This is a small quiet resort in the town of Sebastian, Florida. Sebastian is located about halfway between Melbourne and Vero Beach. While not as fancy as some resorts, Oyster Pointe has everything you'll need for a relaxing vacation.

Resort Description:
The best thing about this resort is that they have 16' power boats for their guests to use. A $50 fee covers the use of the boat for your entire week, including all the fuel you'll need. The resort has 2 levels, but no elevator, so if stairs are a concern, our unit is not for you, as it is upstairs. Unit #226, week 35, usually falls over the Labor Day holiday, making it a perfect way to end the summer. The pool is large and very clean. Park style (charcol) grills are located throughout the nicely landscaped property. A hot tub is located near the pool. A tennis court, playground, coin laundry round out the amenities. Remember, the big drawing card at this resort is the use of a boat. The resort is on the intercoastal waterway, not the ocean. We have seen dolphins and manatee while out boating. There are small islands to stop and explore.

Unit Description:
The furnishings in this two bedroom unit are simple, but very nice. The master bedroom has a queen bed, tv, plenty of storage. The second bedroom has twin beds, no television. The living room has a sleep sofa, television, dvd player. The livingroom and bedrooms are carpeted. A full schedule of cable tv stations is available. The kitchen has no dishwasher, but dishwashing liquid is provided. The stove is small but quite adequate. There is an ice maker and microwave, plenty of dishes and pans for cooking. Pool towels are provided by the resort. Free WiFi is available at the pool, but I was able to connect from our unit.

Nearby Attractions:
Guests not interested in fishing or boating might find Sebastian a bit too slow for their taste, but about 25 miles north is Melbourne or 25 miles south is Vero Beach. Both are quite busy and offer many choices of entertainment. It is a short drive to the ocean and beaches. For those who are members, the local Moose Lodge is quite nice.

Nearby Restaurants:
Just across the street from the resort is Captain Hiram's. It seems to be the place to visit as it is usually busy. On weekends, they sometimes have a band in the evening. The food is average or a little above. The atmosphere is casual and fun. There is a sand volleyball court and there is quite often a game going on. Hiram's seems to attract every age group.

Another interesting restaurant close by is Squid Lips. The usual fast food chains are represented. Most of the restaurants near the resort are local...not major chain types. The familiar chain restaurants are in Melbourne and Vero. There is a nice mall in Vero as well.
