we just returned from Oyster Pointe on the beautiful Indian River across the bridge from Vero Beach. I heard about it from the "TS with unique amenities" thread. OP and sister resort Oyster Bar offer small boats for the week for $100 extra, which was the main draw for us. We found our unit clean and well supplied, furniture fairly new, bed reasonable comfy (queen and 2 twins), decor somewhat outdated, but they plan further renovations soon. The pool was nice with plenty of chairs/umbrellas. Boats right across a small street with a small "beach" area with chairs, gazebo, palm trees, tennis courts. Most people come ever year (some for 4+ weeks) and knew each other. All were friendly to us as well. The area is very laid back and not fancy like across the bridge over at Vero Beach.
We could walk to an assortment of good eateries serving coconut encrusted snapper to fantastic pizza. It's next to Capt Hiram's which has a fun beach bar and gets rockin on the weekend. I enjoyed listening to music from my balcony--they ended about 11pm. We were 6 units away. It might have been to loud if we were the end unit. We had a very nice spring getaway. The main downside--as the boats (to go fishing) were a big draw for us, we were disappointed to find that the fishing has suffered (fishing 4x almost nil for us) in that area of the Indian River--I heard from fertilizer run-off.
