Not happy at all with the experience. We arrived with a tropical storm approaching. There was confusion with our reservation. We were made to feel unwelcome. We left after 4 days due to issues with the staff, the cost of our stay, also no power, docks underwater. The marina took full payment on day two even though we were told payment wasn't due till the end of our stay. We were told we could extend our stay to 4 weeks when we reserved. Then told no after we arrived. Still waiting on our refund

Our stay this time was perfect! We were docked at the end of G dock which gave us a nice breeze in the morning and the evening. The dock hands were great! We had two great meals at Cass Cay, a lunch and a dinner. And the Trading Post was convenient for a breakfast and a lunch and of course ice cream. We definitely plan on coming back this summer.

We recently stayed at Burnt Store & the staff was great! After docking with them for a few days we had picked up & dropped off (at the fuel dock) some family for 2 different trips and they were very accommodating!!!

Great Marina, even while they still in repair from Ian. The folks are very attentive and welcoming. There is a Dollar General about a 1.5 miles that does have produce a nice walk.

Overall the stay was good! However the dockmaster paid no attention to the dimensions of the boat or type when assigning the slip locations. Additionally I called a week before arriving and told them I needed a side tie because of mobility issues. It was totally ignored! They put me in the worst possible location for getting out in a north wind situation. Ruined my whole stay!

We went to Burnt Store to hide from high winds and couldn't have had a nicer marina. It is well protected tucked away and offers protection from all directions. When we arrived, the dockhand was super patient and helpful as the wind & current were working against us. The laundry accepts plastic. Who ever has enough quarters? There is a nice dockside restaurant, a deli and ice cream shop and across the property a nice pool to cool off. On Monday, near the pool is a Farmers Mkt where we bought several fresh veggies & fresh bread. The fuel dock personnel couldn't have been nicer. We let them know we were headed over as we were headed out, they helped with lines and were knowledgeable about the area. We SO appreciate the fuel discount Safe Harbor offers members and we took full advantage by filling up.

Called the marina when entering the channel for docking instructions and was given our docking assignment and told that two dock hands would meet us there to help.

The Office arranged with a crew member to assist with the mooring on arrival, and plugged in our shore power. Superb attitude and one felt welcome to the Marina. I soon realized that we only had one leg powered up. We sent an email to the office that for the night we would be OK but would appreciate someone to take a look at the problem the following day. Sure enough, about 8:30 AM the electrician was down at the dock and about an hour later we had full power. All the staff was very nice and helpful, and the restaurant was good. We will be back again when we are up in the area. Thanks to you all for making our stay very pleasant.

We are not Safe Harbor members. Burnt Store Marina Safe Harbor, is about the same as Burnt Store Marina before it was a "Safe Harbor Marina". The static docks are fine. The water and power work. The staff is very good. The Deli and the restaurant are good. Pump-out, fuel dock.... all good. We were there for a couple of weeks, and provisioning became necessary. The town of Punta Gorda is 10 miles away, with no way to get there (that we found) other than an Uber, which took 20 minutes to get to the marina, and wasn't cheap. It's a long walk. or short bike ride to the pool, which was nice and warm. On "H" dock, you can hear the forklifts from the boat club beeping all day. On "G" Dock it's much better, and of course you don't hear them at night. At night you hear the bar band, which isn't all bad.

We were on the T on F dock, which is the transient dock. We came in in the rain and the Dockhand was waiting to help us dock. There are several people available at the marina office during working hours. These are fixed docks in great condition. There are trash cans at the end of the dock. They were emptied daily. There is no security onto the dock but there was never a problem because the restaurant overlooked the dock. There is one washer/dryer at $2.25 a load. Credit card which is nice but the dryer is $2.25 for an hour and you can't change it. You really only need 30 minutes. The restroom near F dock had 2 toilets and 2 showers. It was open and used by the general public. We were given a key to the other building near the swimming pool, which is quite a walk. There are 4 washers and dryers. The bathroom has 2 toilets and 4 showers. The key also opens the gate to the pool. Nice pool with chairs. There is a 2 week maximum stay, which is unfortunate. We rented a car because there is nothing around the marina. $25 Uber to Enterprise. There's nothing around but the restaurant and snack bar. Cas Cay restaurant has nightly entertainment and trivia and bingo.

We were docked right next to the marina office/restaurant/showers and cafe on F dock. Super convenient and the WiFi was excellent. There was live entertainment every night but all was quiet by 9 PM. They have pump out at some slips but not where we were. Be sure to ask before you dock. There is a very nice heated pool at the far end of the marina and the staff is happy to give you a golf cart ride to and from. The closest store was about 9 miles away ($20 one way Uber ride when we checked) and the route is not very safe for a bicycle. Instacart is available and the marina store has basic necessities. The food at the restaurant and cafe was very good and they have a generous happy hour. The staff was super helpful and responsive. We stayed two weeks and enjoyed every minute of it.

Excellent! The office staff, dock master, and dock hands are some of the nicest and most helpful people you’ll ever meet. A dock hand ran out to catch our lines when we arrived. We were doing laundry and the dockmaster stayed late to drive us back to our dock. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner at the restaurant. All the servers had masks and the tables were spread out. There is also a great outdoor eating area and a deli. The rest room and laundry room were clean and the new front loading machines worked well. We were at the end of the dock closest to the restaraunt and we loved hearing the live music from our boat. It was not too loud and it ended at a reasonable hour. The docks are sturdy and well maintained. Even with a strong wind this is a very protected marina and we barely moved. If you can possibly stay over a Thursday night there is a great farmers market on Friday mornings. We got delicious shrimp, cheeses, and veggies. What more could a boater want.

The Marina is great have spent time there before. However this stay had some issues and could have been better. I reserved Thursday night which was Thanksgiving. I received several confirmation emails of my reservation and my stay, the last one the morning of. It said nothing about the hours of operation being different than normal and said to call CH 16 VHF upon arrival. We got in around 4:45 which was 15 minutes before closing according to the published time. Coming in I called the phone number of the dockmaster several times with no answer and then called CH16 as instructed. I got no reply. I went to the fuel dock and a man came out in a few minutes and asked if I was staying. I told him I was and that I had called channel 16 and got no reply. He barked at me that the marina closed at noon and he was nice enough to wait around for me. I explained to him that if Dockwa is going to take reservations for a Holiday and the Marina is not going by published hours it would be helpful if that was made clear. He did not like that I said that and obviously was annoyed I said it. So the main issue is, I understand if the Marina is going to have different hours for a holiday so their employees can have time off. But if that is the case and they want to use Dockwa for their booking, they need to coordinate so that the customer knows what is going on. In addition, my reservation asked for any other requests and I listed that I wanted a slip that was quiet and low light. They put me right against the dock next to the restaurant that had bright lights all night and employees and patrons making noise and glaring right down into our boat. The transient slips seemed basically empty but after the treatment when we got in I decided just to accept what we were given. Otherwise we love Burnt Store.

Very nice marina, extremely well protected. It is very easy to find as the tall buildings are very obvious on the horizon. Very nice staff, with a nice pool. Restaurant has a good variety of well prepared food. The only major drawback is the extremely short length of the finger piers in the slips. The length was so short that it would not reach the gate in my lifelines which climbing over the lifelines to get on and off (34 ft boat). The whole process was made more difficult during high tide where the step down/up was in the neighborhood of three feet.

The staff was very friendly and put me in a slip right behind the condo we stayed in and helped with storing the trailer for the week. Fuel dock guys were always helpful and they have 10 lb bagged ice right on the dockside for filling your coolers. The entrance channel is well marked and even at a very low tide still had plenty of draft for most any boat (4+) based on my depthfinder. Definitely recommend anyone in the Charlotte Harbor/Boca Grande area use them.

Met at dock and assisted with lines, power and water. F dock was new and close for all amenities. Glad to see the additional improvements going on. Store was good but would be nice to have provisions available.
