REVIEW DECEMBER, 2023
We really enjoyed our stay at Gulfport Municipal Marina. This is our 2nd stay at GMM. The staff was helpful. Thanks TEZ for all your help!
GMM is located close to a great town with many shops, restaurants, pubs, and a beach. There are many events in town to enjoy. It is also very close to the Pinella’s Bike/Hike Trail, just a short bike ride to downtown St. Pete.
Suggestions:
Our first stay, we were lucky enough to stay on the floating dock which is within the marina’s gated area. This time we stayed at a long finger dock, which was gated, but the gate was at the end. We had to leave the fenced-in area every time we left the dock. Now this may not seem like an issue, however, we only had one fob. This means:
-we always had to have the fob with us to go anywhere (bathroom, shower, laundry, office, etc.)
-you needed the fob to get out! This was ridiculous.
We both had to be together to let each other in/out of the dock or bathroom area. VERY frustrating.
-the gates are on too tight of a spring, closing on your back if you are trying to get something off the dock.
-when we left, we had to walk our fob back, then a staff member had to walk us back to open the gate for us to walk on our dock
-we did not like the fact that we had to “leave” the marina to go to the bathroom, etc. The fence needs to be a couple feet further so ALL docks are within the gated area
Now, all this does not mean we will not stay again.
We really LIKE GMM! We plan to come again. It is a safe and clean marina. Unfortunately the best dock (the floating one which is close to office area and within fenced area) is used for bigger boats (ours is a 36)
Hopefully these suggestions will be considered and modified in the future.
Thank you GMM & TEZ!
REVIEW from DECEMBER, 2022
We really enjoyed our stay at Gulfport Municipal Marina. The staff was very helpful. Thanks Tez! The WiFi was good, docks and all were very good. Bathrooms were very clean and private stalls! One of the best we've been to. It's located very close to a great town with many shops, restaurants, and pubs. One suggestion: washers had a flat rate, dryers were 25 cents/5 minutes (I think). Prefer a flat rate. LOL Would like to have extended our stay. Thank you GMM! ~ Horizon Bound
