    Planned to stay one night but ended up spending three (due to some electrical issues). Some of the most friendly staff I have ever interacted with, and the other boaters took us in like family. On day two, ahead of a storm, the staff used one of their pontoons to tow us to a proper slip (engines wouldn't start at the fuel dock leading to our extended stay). Finally on Monday I was able to get a service company to come out (they were also 5 stars), and we were able to get back underway on Tuesday.

    Laundry facilities were open. Restaurant and tiki bar are still closed.

    4-24-24 No less than 8 ft to dock following marked channel to marina. Tied up to T head floating dock, exposed to any winds from the east. Very friendly helpful staff. Restaurant is closed and no laundry facilities but planning to open in the future. Nothing close to the marina so transportation is required.

    This is a very nice small marina with a friendly atmosphere and very accommodating staff. They found room for us on short notice and our neighboring boaters all helped to get us docked and then even offered their vehicles if we needed to go into town. Would have been five stars if the restaurant was open.
