*.* Outstanding Oyster Oasis! *.*

Lisa and Mark are fabulous hosts! They are professional, friendly, welcoming, generous, helpful, and rapid responders.My husband and I embraced Oyster Oasis for a month clean, spacious, ample supplies, super comfy mattress, quiet environment. It had everything we needed -- ate all our meals there, hiked all day, crawling back and crashing at Oyster Oasis for our fave shows in the evening. We were blessed to conquer 165 miles thru beaches, forests, state and national parks. Step right out the door to stroll the neighborhood, beach, and a secret trail at Oyster Bay entrance. It was wonderful to have drive-free days and still be active and explore some sights. Thank you for a refreshing stay, Lisa and Mark!

Perfect little getaway by the water!

Our stay at this VRBO was perfect from start to finish. Super clean home, comfortable beds, and all the extras you may need (kitchen utensils, games, blankets, towels, pillows). We were right on the canal which allowed for great fishing. Close to Wakula Springs which was a lovely place to visit. Close enough to FSU (we were in town for family weekend) that we were able to get away from the chaos and relax. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Wonderful slice of heaven

Beatiful two bedroom right on the canal that leads out to the Gulf of Mexico. Serene location with its own dock. We came to get our 10 year old some fishing practice and Oyster Oasis delivered! Very hungry, small pan fish came right up to the dock and we couldn't bait our hooks fast enough. He was over the moon and we couldn't have been happier with the location or accommodations. This was a 10th birthday weekend he will never forget! Thanks, Mark & Lisa!!

Peaceful Getaway

Amazing stay. This is the perfect spot for peace and fishing. Had an amazing stay. Host stay on site very convenient if anything is needed. The only thing if I could change is it’s a bit dated with decor etc.. but if you’re looking for a place to fish and take a break from city life. This is it!

Memorable fishing trip

Me and stepson took fishing trip to enjoy a few days to wet a hook . Trip was all you could ask for, time spent together and catching fish. The house was very roomy and clean. It has dock to tie up to and minutes to the open bay. We will definitely be trying to come back here on next trip down for more fishing.

Highly Recommend!

My husband, father and I had a great experience staying at "Oyster Oasis." The location is perfect for fishing and we were able to keep our boat at the dock in front of the house. This is a must since my father is 74 and struggles with long distance walking. The house fully met our needs for a quick 3 day fishing trip. Thank you. Lisa and Mark Maxwell!
