We were docked on the outside wall and it was a little bumpy. Staff was nice and helpful. Showers were not very clean. Close to town. I would recommend M&M Cafe. We ate there twice and it was very good.
Marina Response:
Thank you for your response. We understand that the marina is not always calm due to the SE exposure. We do our best to aling fenders and offer alternatives when possile. If you notice an issue with the bathrooms, please let us know so we can take appropriate action to keep the facilities clean.by PATRICK M. - Verified user on Sep 22, 2026
Booked online on dockwa a few hours out, got there and the dockmaster was helpful securing lines and gave us directions around town, wind was blowing from the SW pressing us into the bulkhead, only other slip was rocking and rolling, we left after 5 min. No refunds, all comms through dockwa, could not get anyone to respond, called the dockmaster and got a “sorry it said so in the paperwork you signed” so we paid $130 for 5 minutes on a dock. I get it, we reserved and sure thats the fine print, but that sucks.
Marina Response:
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, Patrick. We’re glad our dockmaster was able to help you get your vessel secured and give you some information about the area.
We’re sorry we didn't catch your message through Dockwa that evening. Our dockmaster was there to help when you arrived, offered to help find another location after you expressed concern, and let you know he’d be available by phone if you needed anything that evening. We know conditions can affect boats differently, and we’re sorry you ultimately didn’t feel comfortable staying.
For urgent matters while arriving or staying with us, we encourage all guests to give us a call at the number provided in the confirmation email.
We appreciate the feedback, particularly regarding communication, and we’ll use it to help improve the experience for future guests.by Pablo B. - Verified user on Sep 16, 2026
Our stay was wonderful. The Dockmaster, Jim, is very accommodating and knowledgeable. We met lots of nice people. The town is quiet and welcoming.

Great Marina, and the dockmaster is all on it. Around a lot of restaurants and bars easy to walk from boat.
