    Great safe location
    Thanks dock master Wayne for all your help
    We left our boat for 10 days and felt safe
    No pool
    Good laundry and nice boaters lounge
    Nice clean bathroom and showers
    Great promenade to town walkable but biking got you further
    Aquarium really nice. Safeway right across the street
    And ace and west marine
    Careful crossing street fast drivers running reds
    Car rental and mall walkable too -target and harris teeter

    Staff helpful with landing boat. Fixed dock but no tide and free pump put at dock was nice
    Nice store on site with basics and wine and cute glasses
    Saw a rocket launch from our boat. Cool
    Left our boat for 10 days to fly home to Canada and felt secure with key locks at each dock
    Bit of a walk to town and not much there and far from beach
    Rented a car when we returned and drove to beach which is lovely and to the Merritt island wildlife refuge centre and did a few hikes and black point wildlife drive. Lots if alligators and rosella spoonbills
    Went Kennedy space centre the next day fun even without the kids
    Favourite stops. Playalinda brewery. Brix. Try key lime slice and Shiloh's steak house. This would be a great place to watch launch right on water across from ksc

    We had winds from the east a couple of days made it pretty lumpy

    the drive from here to Daytona was amazing. Saw so Many manatee and pod you under the bridge by the manatee observation deck

    Canadians arrived on st Patrick day 2023 heading north to home
    Great marina. We landed in strong winds but "cap" landed and tied us at g floating dock
    Good security with keys
    Wifi was not great
    Wished we could have stayed longer
    Easy check in with dockwa
    Close to great restaurants and had the street blocked off for st pattys day party with bands and food. Great fun
    I am a beach girl and it was an easy 10 minute bike to a fun beach. Path over bridge wide
    Cars drive on the beach and park. We had fun driving up tge beach on our bikes

    Love this place. It was an authentic and historic
    I just went from room to room in awe at the decor
    Large screened in dining room and great supper
    Pool table and fun bar
    Had electricity and water but no one to help when landing at dock but lots of room
    Very strong tidal current so use extra ropes
    Had to delay leaving till tide rose at 1030 and arrived mindful of the tide
    Has a big beautiful cement pool but a bit cool
    One shower and bathroom but needed light fixed
    Did the airboat ride with everglades 25 minute walk. Really fun Alligators and bryan was a great guide. Learned alot
    We were the only transient here and just surprised more loopers do not stop here
    Its a trip
