Nice staff helped us in. Clean, nice landscaping, good WiFi and a winery and restaurants close by. There was dredging going on but didn't impede our getting in to the harbor.

Very nice. Lots of apparel in the ship store. Bathrooms and showers need updating. WiFi was almost nonexistent.

Friendly, helpful staff, very clean, good Wi-Fi and pet friendly. A bit of a walk to restaurants but well worth it. Loved coming up the barge canal, a nice change from open water.

Staff were tremendously helpful, going out of their way to be certain we were tied off properly for a big storm. Lots of local knowledge, both from staff and live aboard. Good restaurant on site but distant from shopping, there was a small, well stocked store on site as well. Docks were old but sturdy. Would stay again.

Very nice, clean marina. Staff were always very friendly and helpful. A great place for watching launches from the Space Center, and so easy to visit the KSC from here, one of the car rental agencies came and picked us up. Easy walk to stores and Tiki bar.

They were able to fit us in at the last minute. Captain Rusty was knowledgeable, courteous and very helpful. Clean marina, well kept up. Friendly all the way around. Wish we could have stayed longer.

I give this a four because it was a great place to be able to pull into and the only place we found it was the Waterways Guide. It has enough depth, 7 feet, it is narrow and would not accommodate more than one boat but it is off the channel, felt only a slight rocking from tows, it is well protected from wind. Is not pet friendly to my knowledge but we didn't have a dinghy so did not go up the creek further. We had little to no cell reception (Verizon). But it was easy to tuck into, peaceful and secure.

We, too, found good water levels, helpful and friendly staff. Free washer and dryer and very clean restrooms. It is very close to downtown, my only issue is that there is nothing really close enough to walk to and the roads are narrow with small shoulders so walking is risky. Ubered into the city (15-20 minute trip) and had a blast! I loved that you felt tucked away from everything, saw deer and other wildlife. Boat US discount on fuel and the slip fees.

This place is clean, the staff tremendously helpful, secure and close to a couple of restaurants. Lyft and Uber are also available so I was able to get to the post office and pick up prescriptions. Be careful coming in due to some shoal in on the left side and stay close to the broken fountain on your starboard when entering. It is well marked and folks on the docks are friendly.. A great place to stay.

Very clean, friendly staff, restaurants were not open given the time of year but it is lovely. Be sure you are clear about where the markers are for the channel. It shallows up and the green ones are hard to see against the shoreline.

Stayed last night with winds from the west, approx 8 mph. Very very comfortable. Looked like fish nets had been strung from shore, raked with orange buoys. We were in 14' of water and stayed perfectly. It was lovely. Current kept us pointing upstream in spite of the wind. Good protection from N wind, less from other directions.
