Shore Thing Oasis was the BEST

We stayed for a short spring break getaway with close friends. The home was super clean, decorated so nicely and well appointed. Literally bring your clothes and food and you're set! The mattresses and linens are luxury hotel quality. Downstairs is set up perfectly to grill, soak and hangout playing games. We will be back!.

We had a wonderful time staying at this house. It is just lovely. Both the indoor and outdoor areas were perfect for the number of people we had in our party (7-10). There is plenty of seating and things to do at the house that the beach is as just an added bonus. Trent was quickly on top of any of our questions or concerns. Hot tub was awesome. The grill is the only thing that we were not all that happy about. It had not been cleaned very well. We spent a good bit of time cleaning it up in order to use it. If you use it, be sure to tell Trent so he reminds the cleaners to give it some love. For anyone that is looking to stay on Boliver, remember that most of the houses are on a septic system. Respect this system as you do not want to backing up on your vacation!!!
