What a beautiful marina! The entrance is a very narrow channel, but follow the directions of the harbormaster and you'll do just fine! Right off the fixed docks is a clubhouse with bath and shower facilities newly renovated. The pool is well kept and there are bikes available to ride into the town. Town is a bit of a ride! It took us a while to get to a diner for food and then to get back... We were exhausted!

Great communication prior to our arrival. Very detailed information on how to navigate into the marina. Very tight maneuvering to get to the "E" transient dock. No fuel or pump out. Bathroom facilities, a screened porch, grill and fire pit area just steps from the dock. Very clean and maintained facilities.
Drawback: to get to the pool, clubhouse or laundry, you have to walk what feels like 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile. They do supply dock carts, but there should be closer facilities or a cart to get from A to B. Peaceful stay, but nothing to do. Nice overnight stop to break up a longer trip but if you don't mind running a little longer , I would probably bypass.
The 2 staff that we interacted with were very nice.

Acquired a boat at this marina. Staff were super friendly and went out of their way to help. The only downside is a long walk to a restaurant

We stopped here to sit out a blow.
This is a smallish marina. A little complicated to get into, but Tina sent an email with very detailed instructions. Upon arrival, she couldn't have been more helpful getting us settled. There is really nothing nearby. There are bikes to borrow, but we elected to walk to town for a nice afternoon lunch. There is a spit of land between the Marina and the bay. It made for a great view of the waves kicking up while totally protecting us from the wind and waves

Great stay; the staff was amazing (they even gave us a ride to the local (only) bar). We were getting tossed around the Chesapeake, and this was a quick stop off the ICW. The town is quiet, with no Ubers or Lyft which can make shopping for supplies tough.

Nice folks. Limited access to anything. Designed for sailboats.

Could not even begin to say enough about how nice being a slip holder at Stingray Point has been. We arrived in May of 2019 and just missed meeting Lisa. The new dock master is Lee, and Lisa could not have been any better. Lee is always there exactly when you need him, always friendly and helpful. the marina is very will kept, neat and clean. We live in North Carolina and don't mind the drive up on weekends, it's just a great place to go. We are leaving to do the Great Loop and most definitely plan to return afterwards.
I very rarely give five stars, but Stingray Point and Lee Fisher have earned every one.

Captain Lisa and the Stingray point family are awesome! The amenities are first class all the way! The grounds are immaculately groomed. The pool is well maintained and inviting, not to mention the thoughtfulness of the outdoor kitchen and multiple grills to include grills for vegan use only. Rest rooms and showers are always clean and neat. The marina is located close to provisions which is a bonus! Just stay in the channel as you enter and leave.

We are slip holders here and especially enjoy the well-kept pool, the well-tended grounds and the three clean bathhouses. Excellent wind and wake protection during the worst storms. The dockmaster (Lisa) is very responsive and the facility has won "Best of the Bay" several times. The on-site Stingray Point Lighthouse Replica is an exact, full-scale recreation of the original 1858 lighthouse that stood watch at Stingray Point.
