Shore Thing is a beautifully decorated beach house on the desirable west end of the island. The house is located on a quiet section of West Second Street with a public beach access directly in front of the house. The house overlooks a lagoon from the Intracoastal Waterway on the back side. You are only steps away from toes in the sand or beautiful sunsets on the Intercoastal Waterway.

You will have access to the oceanfront pool located at The Resort Clubhouse. The pool and clubhouse are located a half mile from the house towards the pier. Pictures included for your review.

If you would like a private pool, please see our second property at VRBO #5014828.

Incredible Experience @ OIB!!

This house is the best. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 3 kids. Great location close to the beach access also a big perk having the waterway in the back yard. Having most all the beach accessories at the home was a big help for our family!! Access to the beach front pool was a huge hit for the kiddos!!

Our shore vacation

This was the perfect place for our family. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood but only a few minutes walk to the beach. The house was so nice and had plenty of room for our family of seven. Really nice comfortable furniture and everything you need for a nice vacation. We loved the front porch. That was our go to place. Ryan, the host was great. He was so accessible anytime I had any questions. I would highly recommend this house. We hope to be stay there again.

Great family week 2024

Our family had a fantastic time in this lovely beach house. The house was an easy walk to the beach even for our 3 year old twins. The house was perfect for our family. The communication prior to check in and during our stay was excellent. We had a small issue with the dishwasher but was fixed that day .Great memories of our trip to OIB.

Our family had a wonderful stay. The beach home was lovely and exactly as shown in the pictures, with quick access to the beach. It was clean, had a well stocked kitchen and plenty of seating space for our family of 10. We enjoyed the comfortable beds with a bathroom for each bedroom. Ryan, our host, was so attentive to all our needs. We would definitely choose this wonderful beach home again!

The house is exceptionally nice. The two living spaces gave us a space for adults and a place for kids to play xbox/playstation. Keeping with that thought though, there are no televisions in the two main floor bedrooms. Something to think about when assigning bedrooms. Love that each bedroom has a full bathroom. Everything was great as a whole, but the pool is about a mile away and there is no parking, so rent a golf cart as early as possible. There is shopping, restaurants, a small arcade, ice cream all w/in a mile. Everything you need for the beach is provided i.e boogy boards, beach chairs, umbrellas and even toys for the little ones. I would definitely recommend this property.
