River Dunes Marina

Can't say enough good things about this marina and it's staff! If we weren't trying to outrun Debby, we would have stayed longer! I was first impressed by a quick, after-hours confirmation of our Dockwa reservation. The dock master was very experienced and helpful in directions and assistance with lines. The docks are in excellent shape and the grounds are beautiful. There's a ship store that has basic needs. The main restaurant was closed but there was a casual dining facility open and we had a great meal. There's a pool and a bar by the pool. Everything is well kept and the staff are super friendly! We are coming back for sure!

Marina is lovely. We didn't stay long enough to take advantage of some of the amenities like the pool or kayaking. Cafe and restaurant were nice. The dockmaster and staff were excellent. Please be certain to hail and be able to listen to the dock staff on channel 72.

Very attentive dockmaster, Scott. First class facility and beautiful community.

We always stop here when transiting the ICW. It is wonderful as always except for one critical element. They no longer have a loaner car to get you to the nearest town (Oriental) for groceries or marine supplies. For $10 Piggly Wiggly grocery store will take you to its store and bring you back. Otherwise it is the still an elegant stay offered in this high end Southern Living developed community. Play tennis or pickleball,swim in the pool, workout out in the top of the line workout room, get great food at Yawl cafe or in the dining room. Marina staff are friendly super competent. I feel bad about complaining about the loaner car but we hope it will help them reconsider since there are no taxis or Ubers.

Great experience. Friendly, helpful staff and wonderful facilities.

Thank you, Scott for warm welcome and your help.

Great marina to stop at on the ICW. Scott is fantastic and very accommodating! Super amenities including excellent fitness center, pool and restaurant! A must stopover for us!

Great marina, impeccably clean, fun atmosphere, nice respite.

Very nice facility! The Dock master was very helpful and crew met us at the assigned slip. The renal home beautiful and the water is protected. We really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful facility all around.

Even though the marina was remote from town, this place was definitely fantastic and highly recommended. The staff such as Chris, Mr. English man (sorry didn’t get his name), provision staff, restaurant staff and all the rest of the property staff were amazing. Pool awesome. Lounge with working desk awesome. Shower with massage awesome. Harbor Club restaurant- great meal. Property awesome for walks to see all those beautiful homes. Safe and calm harbor - slept great! River Dunes is a MUST stop in Oriental, NC.

Great facility. Dockmaster extremely helpful and friendly.

Great Place, great staff and well protected

Awesome stay! Beautiful marina, easy access. Special shout out to the great staff at River Dunes and most especially the Dockmaster Scott who was very helpful!

Superb amenities. Staff very professional.

Everything from docks, captain plounge to lavatories were impeccable. The staff professional and knowledgeable, Chris and Julie. Amenities galore, the only minus were the bicycle, which have seen better days.

Lovely, protected marina with friendly staff.

A very nice, quiet place. Facilities are clean and fresh and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

Dockmaster Scott was extremely helpful getting us Dockton tied up prior to a storm and provided quick and attentive service throughout our stay. Marina facilities are very nice. Showers have multiple jets and a steam feature -a lovely treat for weary boaters. There is a café on the property as well as the harbour club for dinner. Lots of green space to walk the dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back to this marina. It’s a first class facility.

Always a great stay at River Dunes. The staff is top-notch, the facilities and setting is beautiful.

Scott and his crew are the best.

This is very nice marina tucked away in a very pretty inlet. I would give it 5 except for the distance from Oriental (6mile) to restaurants and shopping. My bad for not realizing that when I booked it.

UNBELIEVABLE! When the dockmaster confirmed we would be staying for one night and I replied that I'd like to renegotiate and stay for the rest of my life . . .says it all. What a beautiful spot unlike any other. Highly recommend.

Scott the Dockmaster is always so helpful, friendly and professional. If you arrive late week into the weekend you can enjoy a lovely dinner at their clubhouse. The facilities are southern living beautiful. Fellow boaters are always delighted to see you and your fur babies too!

Awesome. Staff is first class and facility is a resort.
