If you are looking for a Pet Friendly Community - you just found it!
Discover a pet-friendly community like no other
A haven for pet owners
Of course, your furry friend is an important part of your family. It is not only a "pet". it is a family member. That's why we're proud to introduce you to Oyster Creek, a community that warmly welcomes pets with open arms.
No restrictions on size, breed, or number of pets
Oyster Creek Golf and Country Club has no limitations when it comes to your beloved pets. Whether you have a small pup or a large breed companion, rest assured that they are more than welcome here. Shepherd, Pit Bull, Chihuahua or Poodle - it doesn't matter. However, If someone is found chewing on their neighbor, they must relocate to a different space.
A mindful approach
While we want you to enjoy the company of your furry friends, it's important to maintain a harmonious living environment for everyone. Oyster Creek suggests having up to two dogs in each residence for optimal comfort and space; however, the number two is not written in stone.
A place to call home
Although fences are not permitted in Oyster Creek, you can still provide a safe and enjoyable space for your dog on the lanai of your home. It's a perfect spot for them to soak up the sun and enjoy the fresh air. Invisible fences are exactly what their name says - "invisible." Can you use those? Well, yes. As long as they are "invisible" nobody can complain. Right?
Exercise is good for Everyone
Your gateway to a vibrant and active lifestyle!
A Home for Active Living
Exercise is not just important for humans but for your furry friends too. However, finding homes that cater to the needs of active individuals and their energetic pets can be a challenge.
A Community Made for Adventure
Oyster Creek is a haven for those who crave an active lifestyle. With its picturesque landscapes and countless outdoor activities, this community offers the perfect environment for you and your four-legged companions to explore, play, and thrive.
Your Dog's Dream Playground
Some dogs are couch potatoes and some dogs are bursting with energy and need more than just a backyard to run around. That's why it is sometimes a good idea finding a home near dog-friendly parks, trails, and open spaces where your furry friend can enjoy a "real workout" while you join in on the fun!
It is always good to have Options
Discover the perfect neighborhood
Imagine living just steps away from the Ann Dever Memorial Regional Park, where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Take a stroll through the back gate and find yourself surrounded by joyful barking from the nearby dog park.
A sense of belonging
Connecting with like-minded individuals makes life more fulfilling. Enjoy endless opportunities to meet new people who share your love for pets and enjoy the beautiful blue skies and balmy winds together. There's no better way to build lasting friendships than bonding over common interests.
Your options are limitless
If you're not inclined towards pet-related activities, the community offers various other amenities that cater to different interests. Whether it's exploring nature trails in the park, engaging in outdoor sports, or simply relaxing under the sun - there's something for everyone.

Discover a Community of many Possibilities
Beyond the gates of the Oyster Creek community lies a world of may possibilities for you and your furry friend. Just 200 yards further south on San Casa Drive, you'll find the main entrance to Ann Dever Park, a vibrant hub of recreational activities and amenities.
A Haven for Sports Enthusiasts
At Ann Dever Park, you'll find a picturesque roundabout with a serene lake at its center. To the right, a football field awaits those seeking an adrenaline rush. To the left, an array of amenities beckons - from a state-of-the-art Skate Park and Basketball and tennis Courts to Volleyball Hoops and a massive playground for children.
Unwind and Rejuvenate
Adjacent to these facilities is a public swimming pool where you can take a refreshing dip. Need some exercise? A building equipped with fitness equipment and dedicated rooms for Zumba and yoga is just steps away. It's the perfect place to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.
A nice Trail
Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature as you explore over five miles of picturesque trails winding through a breathtaking pine forest. Feel the tranquility as you cross the long wooden bridge that connects the two park sections, separated by the tranquil Oyster Creek. You will see squirrels, tortoises, armadillos, and rabbits. There is an eagle's nest perched high above.
My Truck is my Pet
Well, maybe, but technically anything with four wheels is a vehicle. But it doesn't really matter if you see it that way. Like your pet, your truck is also welcome in Oyster Creek. However, there are some rules in place because some people tend to go a little overboard if there are no restrictions.
Rule 1: If the truck has a company logo or any writing on it, that is a different story. Parking commercial trucks outside of the garage is not permitted in the community.
Rule 2: If you are driving an old rust bucket you might not be too lucky either. Nobody wants to see your truck slowly but surely crumbling away on your driveway. You have a perfectly restored "old-timer?" That is a different story. However, rule #1 still applies.
Rule 3: You have an 18 -wheeler? Good for you! But there is no space for it in in Oyster Creek. That "baby" has to stay somewhere outside of the community.
Rule 4: You have a boat on a trailer? Perfect, boating is a big thing in Florida. Unless you can squeeze the boat and trailer into your garage you are in hot water. Some homes have an extended garage but not too many. The trailer can stay outside for a couple of nights (to load or unload the boat). There are plenty of storage places and marinas in the area where you can leave your toy.
Rule 5: Other trailers. For jet skies or whatever. Rule 4 kicks in.
Rule 6: You love your RV. They are absolutely fun vehicles but they are not welcome to stay permanently in the community. They may stay for a couple of nights for loading or unloading. Your visiting family may also park it in your driveway for a couple of nights, but other than that you are out of luck.
If in doubt bring your "pet-truck" and ask the HOA or the management company if they like what they see, and if you are permitted to do what you intend to do. But be prepared: bribing doesn't work!
