Staycation

Summertime is everyone’s favorite time of year to grab a good book and head to the beach: warm sand between your toes, the sun on your face, the saltwater breeze coaxing you into the beautiful blue water. It truly is paradise. Everything besides that though? Not so much. Making sure you have every last little thing, packing it up, loading it in the car, toting it out to your final nesting spot, then, at the end of the day, having to repack, lug back, and try to get the sand off everything and out of your car (good luck).

Admittedly, this author prefers not to go to the beach for just that reason. I’m sure you’ve said to yourself, “There’s got to be a better way” …and there certainly is! Oceanside Beach Services provides all the luxury pampering of a private resort club right at your own local beach.

For over 40 years now Mike Novatka and his dedicated team at Oceanside has been doing the heavy lifting and clearing your path to that south Florida ocean paradise oasis. They provide equipment rental of everything: chairs to chaise lounges to umbrellas to cabana hoods and even non-motorized watersport excursions on Singer Island.

Mike’s love of the beach experience started when he was just a boy in Sag Harbor, NY and increased when he moved to Pensacola at 18. Mike started Oceanside because he saw the opportunity to create a “resort style” experience for those using public beaches. Believing if a customer is treated like a guest all times, they would keep coming back, Mike built up a loyal following that not only came back but followed the burgeoning business from beach to beach as Oceanside grew.

A canny mix of hard-working New Yorker and Florida cabana boy, Mike and Oceanside quickly began securing contracts in Palm Beach, Martin, and Broward County. Today the company operates concession services at seven beaches, including locations in prime areas that had never had beach services before: Boca Raton and Lake Worth Beach.

A hands-on, feet in the sand, owner operator, Mike stays in constant touch with his employees, as well as visiting with the guests on the beach to make sure that his high standards of beach service is maintained. He sees his company not as a chair provider, but as a service provider, giving patrons the ultimate beach experience. As he says, “Oceanside gives you a sense of a private beach club membership at a fraction of the price.”
