The Shore Thing at Bridges Bay Resort (Formerly Boji Paradise)
Welcome to The Shore Thing at Bridges Bay Resort (formerly known as Boji Paradise), your family-friendly Okoboji vacation rental. Six free daily waterpark passes (a $175 value) are included with the cabin reservation. Enjoy the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and fun in this spacious four bedroom, three bathroom cabin designed with family in mind.
Why Families Love The Shore Thing:
• 6 FREE daily waterpark passes included (ages 3 and under are free)
• Spacious, spotless, and family-ready vacation rental in Okoboji
• Garage hangout space for games and gatherings
• Plenty of beds comfortably sleeps 12+ with plenty of dining and gathering space
• Walking distance to the waterpark, restaurants, and lake activities
This home offers spacious gathering areas, and thoughtful touches for kids and adults alike. It is thoughtfully designed and fully stocked for families to relax, play, and make memories together. Bridges Bay Resort offers two direct waterfront restaurants, on-site fitness center, arcade, private fully stocked fishing pond, basketball court, outdoor kid’s playground, and more all within walking distance.
Inside, you’ll find room to sleep 12+ guests comfortably. The main floor features a king master suite with a private bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and walk-in closet. Downstairs there is a second full sized bathroom with shower/tub combo and a total of three private bedrooms; two queen bedrooms and a bunk room with a full-over-full bunk bed that kids love. The lower level also offers an oversized family room with a large sectional and twin-sized day bed with twin-sized trundle.
The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area make it easy to stay connected. The dining table seats at least eight, with room for five more at the spacious kitchen island with granite countertops — perfect for big family meals. There is also direct access to the covered patio with a gas grill and additional outdoor dining area. The newly finished garage hangout space adds even more room to spread out, complete with a table and chairs for games or casual gatherings.
For parents, everything you need is already here: a highchair, 2 pack ’n plays, a single stroller, a double stroller, coolers, cornhole, and extra lawn chairs. A washer and dryer are located in the main-floor mudroom, conveniently right inside the garage entrance. There is also a half bath off the kitchen next to the mudroom. For kids, there’s plenty of space to play indoors or out, with plenty of kids’ toys and books, plus the big highlight — free waterpark passes (a $175/day value!) to Bridges Bay’s indoor Boji Splash and seasonal outdoor pools.
Parking is available for up to five vehicles: three in the driveway and two in the garage. If you need additional parking the resort has some that is within walking distance.
Located just minutes from Arnolds Park, mini golf, shopping, and restaurants, The Shore Thing keeps you close to all the fun of Okoboji while giving you a comfortable home base to return to.
Managed by Okoboji Vacation Company, your stay is supported with local expertise and professional care. All that’s left to do is pack your swimsuits and enjoy your Okoboji getaway!
