Wonderful Marina within walking distance of everything you need. The jewel here though, is the staff. Very friendly, very helpful, good communication. They went out of their way to help us with problem solving some land transportation issues. Hope to stay here again some time. Definitely will if we are in the area.

7-16-24 We saw no less than 7 feet of water at low tide on approach. We were on the floating dock at the entrance to the marina with power and water. Jess was very helpful and informative. The marina is located close to historical downtown with white picket fences and artwork. Unfortunately the pool was not in service during our 90 plus degree stay but that was not a big issue for us. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great communication pre-arrival. Super helpful dockhand who had thoughtfully moved us to a slip closer to the bathrooms than originally assigned. Clean and recently renovated bathroom and showers. Laundry room appeared functional but we didn't need to use it. Pool was actually uncovered (first we've seen in Maryland so far this season) and pool technician was adjusting chemicals and cleaning. Power and water at dockside. No gas, but both diesel and regular were available at Safe Harbor on the way in. Did not need pump-out. Very friendly but not obtrusive staff. Very walkable town. Not much open until Thursday.

Great stop, friendly staff. Dock hand was great & polite. Restrooms were clean. Laundry was not completed yet. Loaner bikes were new. Not a lot in Oxford, but if you stop, this is a great location

Reservation was easy to book, communication was excellent. We arrived after hours and were able to find our slip no problem, docking was a bit tight but we were on an interior slip all the way inside. We had no trouble with any of the amenities, all the instructions for access were clear. We also liked the location, everywhere we wanted to go was walkable or assessable by bicycle. We would definitely book a slip here again. Only reason for four stars is because it isn't a resort style marina.

Nice quiet marina. Most docks are finger piers. Good pool and baths with roomy showers which appear to be relatively newly tiled. Appears to be a big improvement as contrasted with the previous review of one year ago. Staff friendly. Close walking to market, inn, and restaurant. I found no current discrepancies between the site and the Waterway Guide listing. I try to stay in independent privately owned marinas whenever possible.

DiMillos has only had the old Brewers for about a month. They have their work cut out for them. The docks are terrible. the bathrooms were filthy, the amenities were not as listed in the Waterway Guide. I'd give them a couple of years to get off the ground before going again.

As of 06/18/21, the new owners have had this place open for two weeks. Apparently the transition from the previous owners was not smooth and there are a few problems.

That said, docking was very easy once we found the place. They are working on signage. The facilities are OK, not a "resort", but decent. There is a swimming pool, showers and heads.

They are not fully staffed yet, but the office manager and manager are pleasant and helpful.

The marina is in a great location with respect to the town and the location makes walking to the restaurants and general store much easier than the other marinas.

This will be my stop the next time we pass through Oxford.
