We keep coming back for a reason — best marina culture and community we’ve seen. And facilities are excellent.

A favorite! Staff going way beyond in hospitality and helpfulness. Docks are new and sturdy. Shore facilities are in an older house the city repurposed, so bath/shower are standard residential type, which is a little weird, but clean well stocked. Nice lounge also. Free laundry and courtesy bikes, golf cart rental available. The town is a gem. Giant oaks dripping with Spanish moss lining the streets, a lovely riverfront park, submarine museum. The newer Kraken Coffee & Kitchen has really good coffee and bakes their own goods; several other restaurants and boutiques along the Main Street. Go on a hunt to find the hidden Owls of St. Mary's or the self-guided history walk/tours. More development in the works, so look forward to seeing more on our return trip north.

Beautiful town to just walk or bike around. We were there over Mem Day Weekend and most of the downtown closed On Sun and Mon. Ballards right there at the marina is great, has live music.

Every time we are here, there have been more improvements. Restaurant is excellent, staff terrific and helpful. Lovely setting , easy walk to town or can take one of their golf carts.

Mooring balls are well-maintained and easy on/off. Dinghy dock secure in the marina. Bath/shower good. Great location right in town!

Just a lovely marina in a beautiful place. You can bike all around the island or borrow one of the golf carts. Beautiful beaches within walking distance. On-site restaurant is a great place to watch the sunset over the marina, nice clean facilities, pool. Staff/dockhands are fantastic - watched them haul in half a dozen boats in 30 knot gusts like pros!

Has a lot of potential with a premier location for exploring historic Portsmouth and Norfolk, but facilities in poor condition with no apparent interest in improving. The dockhands and staff were friendly, helpful, and worked hard to make the best, but I don't think they are given the resources needed. We had to be there several weeks and during the entire time the WiFi didn't work, pool closed, no pumpout or diesel, no carts to bring supplies from the parking lot, bathrooms dated and need of repair. We were put on fixed dock because of our beam and pilings were broken from rot and left laying on the dock. I think the floating docks are in much better shape and newer. Overall quite overpriced and I would only return for a few nights to explore the area and only if assigned a spot on a floating dock.

Very clean and great facilities (would be nice to have more than one washer/dryer). Staff very helpful, especially when coming in with the tricky currents and winds they were a tremendous help. Lovely area for taking the dog for a walk.
