Oyster Pointe & Bay Resort

Oyster Pointe & Bay Resort sits on US Highway 1 in Sebastian, along the Indian River, offering an alternative to the area’s larger hotel properties. Rather than standard hotel rooms, the resort rents fully furnished two bedroom, one bathroom condo style units that sleep up to six guests, each with roughly 700 square feet of living space. A queen bed anchors the master bedroom, two twin beds fill the second bedroom, and a queen size sleeper sofa in the living room provides extra sleeping room for larger groups or families traveling together.

Every unit comes with a fully stocked kitchen, which matters for travelers who would rather cook a fresh catch of snook or grab groceries from a nearby market than eat out every meal, and access to on site laundry facilities means longer stays do not require a trip off property just to do wash. The resort’s amenities extend well beyond the units themselves. Guests have access to a heated outdoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, a tennis court, and a shuffleboard court, along with a fishing dock and a pavilion for gathering with a group. Motorboat rentals are available directly through the resort, priced at 150 dollars for a single day or 250 dollars for a full week with fuel included, giving guests an easy way to explore the Indian River Lagoon on their own schedule.

The property holds Florida’s Clean Marina designation, a voluntary certification that recognizes marinas and waterfront properties for following environmental best practices around fuel handling, waste disposal, and stormwater management. That designation fits with the kind of activities the resort promotes to guests, including sport fishing, dolphin watching, and clamming along the river flats, all of which depend on keeping the surrounding water healthy. The resort positions itself, in its own words, as a quieter alternative to the area’s more crowded resort chains, and its location between Vero Beach and Melbourne places it within reach of both without putting guests in the middle of either city’s busier tourist strip.

Oyster Pointe & Bay Resort operates independently rather than as part of a national hotel or timeshare brand, with its own reservation system, property management, and even a dedicated portal for timeshare owners who hold weeks at the property. That ownership structure, a mix of standard nightly and weekly rentals alongside a timeshare component, is common among long running Florida coastal resorts of this size, and it has not stopped the property from continuing to welcome outside guests who simply want to book a condo for a week on the river.

Located at 1570 US Highway 1, the resort is reachable directly by phone at its Sebastian office, and its own website includes a photo gallery, a property map, and a page dedicated to local attractions for guests planning their stay. For visitors who want more space than a typical hotel room, a working kitchen, and direct river access without booking through a large chain, Oyster Pointe & Bay Resort offers a straightforward, locally rooted option on Sebastian’s waterfront.
