An excellent value and a thoroughly enjoyable place to stay.

Easy access off ICW , friendly staff who actually help, clean restrooms with clean towels, free golf carts to get you to town easily, and reasonably prices. Town has a great restaurant (spoon river) which we love. Great spot!!!!!!

It's nice to see this property brought back to life ! The upland facilities are very nice. The Manor House is open again, But not on Monday & Tuesday, so we didn't get to check it out. The dock are old, but OK. Would not want to be there in a big blow. That Harbor can build an uncomfortable chop. We had a great night as is was calm.

Glad you came and stayed with us. Please note that we have received final permitting and will begin construction of a new jetty that will surround the marina. This will start by the end of the year and be completed by the spring season. We hope to see you again.

Best marina in Belhaven no doubt, beautiful scenery and great place stay, Sammy and Mike are great on the docks.

This marina was outstanding and reasonably priced, especially with the fall coupon. Sammy was helpful and hospitable. Very clean baths and showers, including towels! Loaner golf carts and free laundry are the icing on the cake!

Awesome staff and facilities. The grounds were well maintained and the showers clean and spacious with towels provided. There are 4 or 5 complementary golf carts but the walk into town was easy. Was concerned a bit on water depth but had a minimum of 7’ to the dock. The entrance from the opening inthe break wall was will marked and we had 10+ feet.

Very friendly group. Restaurant very sad!!!!
Marina Response:
Donald, Thank you for staying with us! I apologize for your experience in the restaurant. We are currently undergoing a transition of ownership and are operating on a limited menu with limited staff. We opted to keep the restaurant open during this time so that no one had an interruption in their employment. Changes are coming and we hope that you give us another try on your return trip!

This marina has been upgraded. Docks still need some work but new owners are doing a fabulous job. Facilities are much better and staff is great. We had a wonderful Independence Day here

Thank you Captain Ed for the A+ review! The welcome light is always on for the Admiral and you. Safe travels. Henry

Grand Manor is something of a standout where marina amenities are concerned. It began when we arrived and Mike the dockmaster and his team expertly helped us get into the slip and tie up in fairly blustery conditions. Then we discovered the two large private (and spotless) shower rooms with soap, shampoo and towels provided! Plus they have a large laundry room where the machines are free! And, traveling with our small dog, we really appreciated the on-site dog park. They also have an on-site food truck where you can get a (fairly expensive, but really tasty) burger with chips and a drink. They have golf carts available (also free, on a first-come basis) for exploring Belhaven or making a grocery run. Finally, there is a fine-dining restaurant on-site in the beautifully restored old mansion. The owners and staff of Grand Manor go out of their way to make sure your stay is as pleasant as possible.

The staff was friendly, helpful and appreciative of our being there. They provided an abundance of local info. The marina is under new ownership since May 2023 and the improvements are noticeable. A new outdoor pavilion, new landscaping and amenities, including a new, quality restaurant.

About River Forest Manor and Marina

Located on the beautiful Belhaven coastline, the River Forest Marina has been a haven for cruisers of vessels large and small for more than 75 years.

Completely restored to its prime, the Marina is more than just a place to dock along your charted course—it’s a destination you’ll want to visit again and again.

The Marina offers a protected harbor just inside the break-wall on Pantego Creek, convenient waterway access to the Pungo River and greater Pamlico Sound.
