Grand Manor Marina

This is a great little marina in the lovely town of Bellhaven NC. The folks are very helpful in all things, and we enjoyed the use of a golf cart. The 19th century manor house is beautiful, and the extensive grounds surrounding it are immaculate. The new owners, Larry and Gina, are making a lot of improvements to the entire property, including the marina and it shows. We will definitely stop here again.

New owner who is fixing up the marina. Golf carts to get to town easy.

Great Marina. Fixed docks in perfect shape. Staff and owners very friendly and helpful. Having golf carts to get supplies, go to restaurants and explore the downtown was a big plus. Pump out and fueling in slip. Almost the perfect marina, but no protection form waves. Very light wind and no rain during our stay, but our boat rocked constantly and the wave slap made sleeping impossible. The two break walls were no help. If this doesn’t bother you then it’s a great stop.

Fantastic. Helpful guiding and getting us tied up. We accidentally left our power cord behind and they offered up a loaner so we were back in business/AC quickly. The Welcome bag with maps and restaurant/shopping lists was helpful. Golf carts available (no charge ) to make the trip a few blocks to town and back with supplies easy. Showers/bathrooms were clean and nice. Food truck on site if you didn’t want to go in to town. We enjoyed our quick trip

Loved the marina and town. The best marina staff on the ICW. This marina has lots of upgrades planned in the next several months. I can’t wait for our next trip to Grand manor Marina.

Lots of help docking from an attentive staff. Great perk of having several golf carts for your use to do errands or go into town. Lots of green space for our dog. Clean restrooms. Only downside was fixed docks which depending on the wind and your boat may make it difficult to get off.

Grand Manor Marina exceeded our expectations - Excellent, Sturdy, docks - excellent staff - Free Golf Cart to take for provisions, Lunch, or Dinner - excellent WiFi - make sure you go to Spoon River for dinner!!!

Great location right off ICW. Staff very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Mike the Dockmaster was great. Fueled up. Rented the beautiful room above the marina. Was provided a golf cart to visit Belhaven and suggested a local restaurant which was fantastic. We wish the new owners and staff all the success in the world. Wonderful people fabulous location.

Golf carts provided, quaint downtown. Plenty of Dock help for docking. Really convenient dockside fueling.

Wonderful marina ! Great location in Belhaven with easy access to shopping, restaurants and grocery store. Dockmaster Mike is friendly, helpful and very professional. Definitely recommend Grand Manor Marina -- beautiful facility and beautiful view. Also includes an awesome metal sculpture ( over 6 feet tall) on the deck for a perfect "selfie" with a pirate skeleton.

We spent the day in Belhaven and we stopped by the Grand Manor Marina for a drink. Dockmaster Michael was awesome and so friendly, and helpful. All the staff was friendly. The bathrooms were so clean! Highly recommend and a must see! The view was amazing! We will definitely be back!!

Excellent place to staY!

We came for a night, and ended up staying a week. Not on purpose, but mechanical issues got us and we needed to repair before moving on. Kudos to Henry for a great stay. At 100’ it’s hard to find spots along the ICW in the more “out of the way” places. Enjoyed our stay and all that Henry did to try and make the extended stay more enjoyable. Appreciated the golf carts! While we didn’t fuel up, the REASONABLE rate to pump out the hold tanks was appreciated. When you are using to dropping $50 to pump, you appreciate it when the rates are more reasonable. See you again soon Henry (if you’ll let us come back). ~Capt. David, Motor Yacht Magnum Ride

We were just passing through, but decided to extend our stay. This is a relatively small marina that can accommodate boats of a wide range of sizes. One nice touch is a small fleet of golf carts available to transient boaters to get into town for groceries or restaurants. The folks on the docks are helpful with advice on where to go in the town, which is just far enough from the marina that some form of transportation is necessary, and the golf carts do admirably. The marina has wifi that works well and can do fuel service.

Excellent as always. Henry is always welcoming and accommodating.

Great place. Very nice people. Excellent help tieing up on a little tricky fixed but strong dock. Tricky fender placement. Use of golf carts to go to stores. Quaint little town.

Great service. Beautiful place. Wonderful people.

Easy stop off the trip north. Nice marina run by the owner. Clean restrooms and showers. Golf carts available to go for supplies or dinner. We always stop here!!

henry and staff were great, very pleasant. golf carts were very nice to use to go to town and store. I have two holding tanks on y boat. It was up to me to see that their was a 15.00 charge to get pumped out, it was a surprise to get charged for both tanks instead of just the boat. my bad , i just feel staff should of informed me they would be a charge for each. oh well, they are two other marinas i can choose from next time in september when i come back through.

Great place to stay. Wonderful help getting tied up. Golf cart was great to get some groceries at food lion. Did a load of laundry (free). Found a great Mexican restaurant close to cute downtown area. Very clean bathrooms and showers.

Friendly service, good fuel prices, complimentary washer/dryer and golf carts to get around. Close to beautiful Beihaven. Great dock hands! We will be back!

Henry is always efficient and friendly and makes our stay enjoyable.

I always look forward to staying at River Forest Marina. Henry the Dockmaster always makes sure guests are well taken care of, plus is a genuinely nice person! I used one of the golf carts to make a provisioning run to Food Lion, then got my laundry caught up using the free high-capacity washers and dryers. The weather wasn't the greatest during my stay, but I had a great time nonetheless!

Great facilities clean private shower and bathroom free laundry and free golf carts love this place

Great dock hands & love the golf cart

Great place. Great people. Dockmaster Henry is the best. Always helpful always available.

Great place to stay. Henry is the difference. He is there to greet you, send you off, and ensure you are all set for a great stay. Town is easy to walk to and the marina even has complimentary golf carts to use. Would highly recommend staying here.

Henry always takes great care of us. Very friendly, capable and professional. Then take one of the golf carts and dine at Spoon River. One of the best dinners anywhere!

I can only amplify what many others have already stated: Marina owner and dock master Henry is the BEST! Excellent and clear arrival and docking instructions along with expert line handling were much appreciated on our windy day. He provided us a personal overview of the facilities and town, along with dinner recommendations (Spoon River!). Courtesy golf carts were a big hit with our group of four, and a fun and easy way to see the town. Free laundry and nice showers. Henry called and located some specialized power steering fluid that I needed and had it delivered right to the dock. He also located a diver to inspect our props. He is a passionate mariner who enjoys helping customers in all possible ways—we will make a special effort to return here whenever possible!

Outstanding Marina. Helpful, competent dock master. At-slip ValvTec fuel & pump out. BoatUS discount. Free laundry & use of golf carts.

Very friendly and personable people. Complimentary golf cart to explore town. Awesome wifi !!! Clean restrooms and showers ! Excellent laundry facilities ! We will be back !

This is a GREAT stop when heading north or south. Henry is a real character. Henry, the free golf carts, the free laundry, and the cleanest bathrooms that I have ever seen in a marina make this one of my favorite stops. The $15 charge for a pump out (my holding tank is less than 15 gallons), however, is pretty steep. Pump out elsewhere and then stop here and use the bathrooms!

Great marina, great dock master Henry fun timein Belhaven.

Bravo, Henry. Thank you for everything. Now... the sunset and sound of birds ... an added and most important "touch." You went all out :) We will be back. MoonRiver/That's a Wrap.

Nice facilities, close to services, golf cart provided, well protected docks, good water depth

Henry treats everyone like family. And he is a pro assisting with arrivals and departure in brisk wind. We extended our stay a day to wait out winds. We stop there to eat at Spoon River Restaurant.

Lovely place with helpful people who really love boaters.

Henry was great. Wonderful facility and we love Belhaven.

What a great marina! Henry (the owner/dockmaster) is on the mark with service. We needed a diver to meet us at our boat - and Henry made sure the diver was there when we arrived. In addition, the bathroom/showers are the cleanest we've seen anywhere. Henry will point you to the courtesy golf carts to take into town for supplies or restaurants. Stay here on your way by, you won't be disappointed!

Absolutely a must stop for mariner’s traveling on the intercoastal. The gentleman that runs the marina is warm and welcoming. Free laundry on site, golf carts to go into town, grocery, restaurants all close by. They have fuel and propane on site. Give it an A plus rating!!

Nice and clean very helpful second time here great dock hand and master. Always looking to help Update Henry is the best. Still a great place to stop

Free golf carts. Free laundry. Easy in and out. High speed pumps. Friendly management. What’s not to like?

Had wonderful 2night stay. Gorgeous 180 degree view on Pungo River, lovely 6 minute walk into town, complimentary laundry appreciated. Thank you Henry! We’ll be back!

Wonderful place. Dock Master Henry is the best!

This was a nice quiet marina with clean bathrooms/shower. Henry was very helpful. Free golf carts were very enjoyable!

Henry Boyd has to be one of the most welcoming and helpful Harbormaster’s we’ve encountered. He remembered our previous visit last fall.

Very friendly and helpful. A mice quiete place.

Great stop. Took a golf cart into town for a drink and some wings. Easy in and out. Highly recommended.

...Update 11/2019...Still a great stop. Took golf cart to grocery store and to get propane tank refilled. Great playground in town. Very friendly and peaceful marina. ...06/2019 2nd stay at this marina. Nice docks with very competent dock hands. Short walk into downtown Bellhaven for a fabulous dinner at Spoon River.

Nice facilities. Nice showers and bathrooms. People are very accommodating. Town is quaint and beautiful. Worth the stop

The staff was excellent. Facilities were great.

Fantastic. Rode out Tropical Storm Nestor. People were great!. Will stay again coming North. Let us use golf cart to drive 1.5 miles to grocery store and free laundry facilities. Good old fashioned southern hospitality.

Great marina. Staff is wonderful and accommodating, facilities are clean and new, and it's the closest access to the ICW in this location. It is a bit farther from town than other marinas in the area, but they have loaner golf carts that you can use to go shopping, grab a bite, or just check out the town of Belhaven. They have plenty of room on the docks for bigger boats, and getting in and back out is very easy. Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and it will be a regular stop on our yearly trips, both up and down. Update: Thank you, Henry! Although getting older, we hope to keep doing our trip for at least another couple of years, and will be glad to see you on the way.

Great visit. Golf carts great for getting around Belhaven.

Great service the gentlemen on the dock were fantastic and very welcoming. They had golf carts to get to town and the laundry was complimentary. Rest rooms and showers were spotless. We will definitely stop in again. Easy in and pit for the ICW.

Nice facility. Great fuel prices. Nice staff!

Great place to stay on our way South down the ICW, super friendly staff! Clean bathrooms , Free Landry, New gas pump at great prices, Free golf Cart to take in to town was a real treat, Prices was great as well, had people to help us tie up boat, brand new dock. A must see Marina!

This has been by far the BEST marina on our trip from Upper Chesapeake to Miami. Hats off to Henry and Joshua for going above and beyond!

Extremely accommodating. Docks somewhat exposed

We love River Forest Marina. This was our third time docking there in the last two years. The dock crew is very attentive... Always! We also like having the golf carts available to go to town to eat. Shower facilities are not over the top but very, very nice. Look forward to our next trip to Belhaven and RFM!

Always a great stay! Henry and Josh take good care of transient boaters...clean, modern bath facilities and complementary golf carts to ride into Belhaven (which is easily walkable as well). Gotta eat at Spoon River while you’re there...ethereal setting and expertly prepared food.

Big ole Henry and this marina is what Southern Hospitality is all about. Easy in and out. Grab a free golf cart and ride into town for Spoon River Restaurant....world class!!! Great hardware store close by. Just love this stop.
