We just moved to Manette, WA and took a weekend trip to Ocean Shores. Interesting town with run down shacks next to mansions and vacant lots—and you can drive on the beach?! Anyway, I haven’t been able to find any recent posts about Ocean Shores (is that a sign)? Wondering if anyone has had any success with the short term/ vacation rental market?. It appears as if the only “legally zoned” nightly vacation rentals are in Oyhut Bay and those properties are selling for less than they did in 2016.

I don't know what the rental statistics are for Oyhut Bay but it is one of the few areas in Ocean Shores that is legally zoned for vacation rentals. I think you may be limited to using their in-house vacation rental manager at Oyhut Bay. In general, Ocean Shores is a great place to live and a great place to vacation, but the strict short-term rental restrictions do limit the investment options.
