This was a great location for my husband and I as we visited OKI for the first time. We were only about a 4 block walk to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and quite lovely for a morning walk with only a 4 block walk in the opposite direction to the intracoastal waterway. It was actually quite remarkable how quiet the neighborhood was while being so close to so many shops, restaurants, and grocery stores. There are so many things within walking distance. It was clear to see how many people opt for golf cart rentals. My husband and I enjoy walking and we found it easy to get by without, but I could see why a family with kids could make great use of it. Parking on the beach is very limited at OKI and from what I researched it was a bit pricey. But good news on that one as well, Caswell beach, just a 2-3 mile drive down the road has a spacious free parking lot, boardwalk over the sand dunes, portable toilets in the parking lot and an outdoor shower for rinsing, but get there early(we got there at 8:30 a.m.) as this lot was filled by the time we left at 11:30. Caswell beach afforded us a much more secluded and less crowded beach experience. We found the beach rental to be just as it is described. It was very clean, comfortable and well stocked. We appreciated all the communication and tips Melissa provided and she was nearby. We would definitely stay here again and bring family and friends if the other side is available as well. It was a perfect beach trip.
