Great Staff, convenient

by David L. - Verified user on Jun 22, 2026
The staff was incredibly accommodating, and the location is ideal with many attractions within walking distance. The views of the surrounding area, the naval vessels, and the marina at night were spectacular. Additionally, the bath and shower facilities were clean and secure. This was an outstanding stop on my journey along The Great Loop. Thank you for the positive experience.

Our stay, was good. We had concerns about security. Also, the marina, really needs to set/up the 3-ph. / 480- shore power, correctly. It is unsafe, as is right now.

I always enjoy staying at Waterside. It's a great facility with a helpful professional staff. There is so much to do in the surrounding area and it's super easy to get around. I highly recommend it.

Great place to just walk around and enjoy Norfolk. Some of the most skilled and helpful staff around.

by Chris P. - Verified user on Jun 04, 2026
Beautiful marina, friendly staff and the sights of the naval boats breathtaking! My ONLY negative would be that the Waterside Markets indoor small take out restaurants were all closed! Blue Moon and PBR were open but Blue Moon was the only outlet at the marina for food. Otherwise nice place, would stay again!

Really great place in the middle of town, lots to do. Very nice tram of people, who keep the place looking clean and orderly, they could not have been more helpful, thank you Thomas and everyone else who looked after us.

Very nice marina. A little tricky getting to our spot but dockhands were very helpful. Facilities were a bit of a hike but all in all good experience

The location is ideal for exploring Norfolk, the marina is well maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful.

As always staff are great, not there fault but the music from the stage made the boat vibrate.

by Belita W. on May 24, 2026
The staff were more than helpful, we had many packages delivered and they helped us to get them to our boat, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay there again when we are in the area.

by Gary B. on May 22, 2026
The location was great. The docks were in great shape, despite ongoing construction and repairs. The dock hands were first class. Very professional, polite and responsive. Can't say enough about them. My major complaint about the marina is that the bathroom was about a quarter mile away, and the Men's room was a single toilet and the shower was not very private. If you didn't get the bathroom first, you had to wait. For a marina of this size, in this location, there should be better restroom facilities. Another minor complaint is that there was no laundry facility. Again, a marina with so many loopers passing through, there should be a laundry facility as well.
