    Nice private club amenities with 24-hour security and gated parking lot and clubhouse. Very good food in the restaurant and good bar. Water in the slips was quite choppy due to public docks very nearby and hard bulkhead walls all around Monroe basin and many moving boats at all hours. Also not well protected from east or southeast winds. Very nice easy to deal with dockmaster. I would definitely go back.

    Awesome facility and location. However, the slip gets a lot of wave movement with an east wind. We are seasoned, but got motion sickness trying to sleep. Planned on three days, but couldn't handle more than one night.
