Easy in & out from the ICW. The staff is very friendly and informative. Docks are fixed piers and in great shape. The restaurant/bar on site is open everyday 11a-10p. They had live entertainment while we were there also. The pool wasn't available due to a failed pump. But they had already replaced it and were getting it ready to use. Bathrooms and showers are very nice with complimentary towels and toiletries in each one. A nice clubhouse with satellite TV and an outdoor grill are nice features also. Owner responded to my dockwa request immediately. We also used their free loaner car to get boat parts rather nearby marine supply store.

We spent an outstanding week at Dowry Creek. Mike met us at the dock to help us in and get settled. During the week he got us pumped out at our slip and filled our propane tank. We used the loaner car to make a grocery run and took advantage of the free laundry. There is a very nice Captain's lounge and nice clean bathrooms and showers. The restaurant is new and they excellent food and a great selection of beer and spirits. We recommend the fish and chips and the shrimp and chips!
6/25/2024 - Just finished a five day stay. What a great place and what great staff! Everything was wonderful including the onsite restaurant with an amazing draft beer selection. This is a must stay whenever we are passing.
7/29/24 - once again a great stay while avoiding some weather! This is one of our must stop marinas.

Wonderful marina! Mike communicated with us throughout our stay and met us at the dock to tie up. Enjoyed the beautiful creek views, pool and restaurant. Used the free laundry facilities and courtesy car to re-provision. Also, watched a storm move through on the balcony and inside the captain’s lounge. Great stay!!!

Excellent service and assistance. Great marina.
by Clark F. - Verified user on Jul 06, 2024
A very mixed bag. The pluses: very friendly and professional dock crew, nice ship’s store, pool is great, and (I am told) the restaurant is good. The negatives: the power at the pedestal is very low (211V vs expected 240V) which is not good for your air conditioning system. Also, the location is wide open to a southeast breeze which picks up as a sea breeze quite often. It gets really choppy in the marina really fast. Calms down if/when the wind calms down or changes direction.

Great Marina - staff always helpful and diesel fuel the best price I found on the east coast. Resturant an enjoyed new feature along with the pool.

Great special marina. Special because the people are super accommodating, willing to fuel late (when we are running late), willing to help with a courtesy car to town, a marina store with a good array o provisions and boat supplies, and a new restaurant with a nice variety of dishes for dinner. Rebuilt and expanded over the last few years, the docks are very new with great power supply for large motor yachts. Staff is friendly, courteous and helpful. Not a really big marina in size, but a huge marina in heart.

Great little marina- small town, Mom and Pop marina. They were really helpful and made our stay very comfortable.

Good restaurant and very clean restrooms. Was offered a loaner car, but did not use it. It would get five stars with a breakwater.

Great marina, very responsive staff and wonderful restaurant. Also used courtesy car to provision.
by Jesica M. - Verified user on May 30, 2024
Quite, beautiful and secluded area. Everybody is super friendly. Marina has a car if you need to go into town and pick anything up. Restaurant is good and they also have a small store for any immediate needs. Washer/dryers work great.
Dockhand was very helpful! Would definitely stay here again.

great dockhand, restaurant was good and very nice inside the entire marina is well maintained. It's very quiet in the area there much going on outside of the marina.

Easy in and out. Nice owner. Great restaurant and lounge.
by Roxie G. - Verified user on May 13, 2024
We had a great stay. Easy access off the ICW. Fixed docks were in good condition. Pleasant staff. Very busy when we came in. Lots of fellowship from staff, marina regulars and fellow loopers to catch lines and get everyone in safe. Extra touch with toiletries and towels for showers. The restaurant on site had what my husband described as “the best bar so far on our loop”. It’s out of town location is what we wanted for this stop.

Nicole and locals were very nice. The complimentary laundry and courtesy car were huge help. Thank you.
The website has all the right things that you would want for a marina but unfortunately this place is not for us.
The bathhouse and lounge could use some help and cleaner. There was an older gentleman that just flopped himself on the couch with his pillow and blanket and said “you guys won’t bother me”.
The restaurant was just ok. They will not let you know change sides even if you want to pay for it.
Marina Response:
I am sorry you did not fully enjoy your stay with us. First, we are still adjusting the restaurant menu, as we only opened it late last fall. The new menu has been created and within the next 2-3 weeks will be back from the printers and implemented, with several adjustments that include additional sides and flexibility. I am sorry that one of the other boaters made himself too comfortable in the complimentary boater's lounge, but we expect folks to self-police their behavior there and wish you had let someone know about it while you were here so we could have intervened. We only clean the restrooms twice a day, and with more than 90 boaters using them we expect folks to tidy up after themselves, but unfortunately that is not always the case. We have a new expanded restroom and shower facility that was planned for this winter, but with Connie's illness and her passing away in March, we had to push that out to later this year. The other marinas in the area do not have most of these facilities, but hopefully you will find one that works better for you. Thanks again for the comments and safe travels.by Lee A. - Verified user on May 12, 2024
Great marina. We like family owned marinas. Dowry has attentive staff. There is pump out at your slip. Fuel is available at some of the slips. The Salty Crab is a fun restaurant at the marina. There is a courtesy car available and a salt water pool. The bathrooms are very nice and they supply towels. We have been here 5 times and never been disappointed.

Great stop! Always pleasant help, free laundry, and the restaurant is open!! With a pool, kayaks, ship store, it’s like a mini resort. And a courtesy car for all your needs, it never disappoints!
