PRO TIP:
If you’re staying at the Wharf during a concert weekend, beware of the busyness in the restaurants at dinner!
They do not offer ‘take-out’ orders for dinner when a concert is being performed that night.
The restaurants fill up fast, so either eat early, make reservations far in advance, or plan to cook in.
(it’s almost impossible to leave and get back inside the parking garage when a concert is happening)

THE OASIS:
One of the best parts of your stay will be hanging out at the Oasis!
The Oasis is a private resort area for owners and guests only! You get the tropical feel without large crowds, rip currents, sand, or worrying if your kids are going too deep into the gulf waters!
The Oasis includes an ocean waves simulation, wave-pool, lazy river, kiddie slides, kiddie pool, large pool swimming area, hot tub, in-pool basketball goals, net climbing, volleyball sand courts, an Oasis bar with delicious food/drinks/alcohol, and lots of clean bathrooms!
The Oasis has its own trolley that picks up guests to bring them to/from the condos. If you walk to Yoho Tacos you will see the Oasis Bulletin; on it is the phone number to call for the trolley to pick you up. Be sure to ask the driver what time the trolley stops running in the evening so you don’t have to walk back! (Trolley availability varies by season)
You do have the option to drive to the Oasis if you’d rather that.
Open 337 days/year! Closed in February for renovations.
Hours: 9:00am- 8:00pm
Trolly Hours: 10:00am-6:00pm
Reminder: No food or drinks are allowed in The Oasis until after 6pm.
