We had a terrific experience here. A person met us at the dock to welcome us in and assist with the lines. Shortly thereafter Cindy, the manager, introduced herself. We were steps from the beach and chairs. There are two restaurants on the grounds. Oceanside had very good food.

Called the day before arrival date of 7/12/23. Staff were very accommodating, offered me slip options, secured my reservation and everything went smoothly. Quiet marina, easy access to restaurants, clean facilities, and dockside assistance if required. Will be back gladly.

Great facilities but no guarantee on your docking spot. Booked a spot for four nights. Night two, someone was in our spot so we had to find another. Dock master didn’t have an answer. Third night, went out for a night cruise and someone took our spot. Makes it frustrating and stressful.

Just want to say stayed here for a week, and absolutely enjoyed every moment. Stayed here years ago before it got hit by hurricane now the place is even better! Place was immaculate, Hunter was a joy to work with very professional and Pleasant to talk to. . Everybody from the bait store and the customers at the marina were all very pleasant to hang out with. We will definitely be back soon!

Docks are too high for smaller boats. No cleats on the posts. I emailed the Marina before arrival and they never bothered to reply back. When I arrived they asked to use an outside app to pay for the dock fee. I offered to pay with credit card. Using the app the daily rate was higher than they advertise on their web site. No coffee available anywhere in the marina nor in the connected hotel. When I asked I was asked to drive 7 miles to get coffee!

Stayed at the marina for two months and am very pleased with the place. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Very much a can do attitude. Channel is very well marked. The marina is tied into the resort so you have the beach and restaurants right there. The Safari restaurant just reopened and is very good, in addition to Habanos. Love the ocean side access and still being protected in the harbor. There is also a laundry room at the marine store. Islamorada has a free ridesharing service (called Freebee) that will pick you up and take you anywhere in town. Great base for fishing and snorkeling.

Docks are in great conditions Showers were in great condition both toilet and shower with hot water with no problem. Shore power and fresh water also easily accessible and in great conditions. Only two things I would have liked to have that I didn’t. the first is more restricted access for non guess the Marina Is easily accessible by anyone my first night I had people fishing right behind my dock it prevented me from sitting out with my wife for a private conversation also could be a safety issue. 2- I never met anyone from the facility I got there luckily there was a fisherman getting back from chartering his boat so figure he knows everyone he told me where to park and also said he was gonna let the dock master know I was there. The next day came and no one came to say hi. It kind of didn’t matter I did my own thing but could have been an issue if shore power and water were restricted or if that gentleman wouldn’t have been nice enough to give the shower/restroom access combination. Now would I stay again definitely yes. 👌🏽🛥💨

We stayed at Caloosa Cove for 4.5 months. The marina offers a convenience store and fuel. The marina is clean and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The access to a restaurant, pool, and a beach were extra perks. Above all- the staff was great. Hunter, Bill, and Tommy answered all our questions and were very helpful. We appreciate all their help and were at ease knowing they were keeping a watchful eye on our boat when we were gone. Thanks!

We enjoyed our stay at Caloosa Cove. The area was great and people were very friendly. There was a restaurant at the marina and beach/pool nearby which made the stay very comfortable. We never had any issues that were not addressed. Hunter, Bill, and Timmy were so helpful at the marina. Great people. Made us feel right at home. We loved our stay at Caloosa Cove.

We’ve stayed here a few times and every time we love it. The staff are very friendly and eager to help in any way. The other boat owners are just as helpful and friendly as well! We are considering keeping our boat there during the winter months. We will stay here every time we are in the area or passing through!

Staff was wonderful! Docks are to high and boarding was a safety issue. Have no pump out and every other marina around the area the pump outs were out of order. We paid $55 to get a pump out at Caloosa Cove Marina. No laundry at the marina. Not protect from west winds. Nothing close to this marina except a good Cuba Restaurant! Most expensive moorage we paid since starting the Great Loop in Saint Joseph MI. Again, the staff was wonderful.

Staff and premises was nice with easy access to the channel. Only disappointment was them not lifting our boat off the trailer as they have done in previous years. We had to find a boat ramp to launch several miles away.

Thanks to Bill & Rich for answering all of our questions while booking and help at the dock! They were great and so was the stay. As we were told by them, it's recommended that you arrive and leave at a higher tide if your draft is over 4ft. :) Looking forward to next year!

We rented a house on Iroquois for the month of March and brought along our boat - unfortunately, the state began dredging our canal and we had to find another option quickly. Caloosa Cove was great - they were able fit us into their schedule for a slip for the whole month. Everyone there was really nice and helpful!

Richard the dock master was great. Fuel prices (diesel) were very good. Docks are not floating docks but require you to tie stern to. Habana restaurant onsite is very good. Restrooms and showers are basic at best. Pictures make it look like the pool and adjacent amenities are a part but they are off limits to the boaters.

Our 50 foot boat draws 3.5 feet and our readings got down to 3. This would be a great spot for a smaller boat. New pedestals where great. Lots of manatees were cool too.

The marina may be good for small center consoles but if you're got a big boat, consider our experience. 1. Canal is not 4-5' deep as claimed, hit 2.9' close to the fuel dock. Granted it was low tide. 2. The fuel crew handed me diesel pump when I asked for gasoline. Luckily, I caught the mistake after dispensing only 2 gallons into our gasoline tanks. 3. Shore power kept tripping GFCI, so didn't have shore power for the stay. Next time, I'll just stay on the hook and save $$.

We have been here two months now and absolutely love the people and location! With everything within walking distance such as the Marine Hardware, Habanos Restaurant, Bait and Tackle shop, Safari Bar, and Resort with pool, and a beach with barbecue and chairs. All of this within 100 yards from our boat.
