    We rented a slip from a long-term resident at the marina for two weeks between cruising. The dockmaster Ceci Ann was very kind and responsive, trying to help us out in every way possible. The marina is clean and well maintained. Ceci Ann organizes all sorts of events (movie night, Coast Guard safety check ...). There is a nice atmosphere.

    If the Oriental Marina & Inn 9 docks are full, this is where you'll be staying and it can be very rough when winds are high... and it's my understanding that the winds are always blowing hard here! The harbor bathrooms are old & tired, but clean, and it's a fairly long walk to the Tiki Bar & restaurant at the Marina & Inn. So - CALL AHEAD to get reservations at one of the 9 docks at the Marina & Inn!

    We got an outside dock so it was a bit lumpy. Transient booking handled by the
    Inn and Marina staff. Staff were good and showers very nice. Restaurant on site.
