    We stayed here last night. It is no longer a municipal dock. It is managed by the restaurant that is not yet open. You'll see signs posted with a phone number to call for dockage. They offered us $2 a foot. No electric but there is water. Small floating dock for 2-3 boats and a really high wall for another 4-5. There are other restaurants within walking distance. For the price (if westbound) you're better off going to lock 20 wall. No power but at least they have restrooms.

    I'm thinking, at one time this was a rather luxurious resort but the past few hurricanes have taken a toll. It's still very nice and they were working on repairs the whole time we were there. The pools are beautiful and the pool bar is nice. The beach is also very nice and right across the street. We ate breakfast in the restaurant. I ordered the hash and it was, honestly, one of the best dishes I've ever eaten! They had very nice, seemingly new, clean restroom/shower rooms. Docks were in decent shape and deckhands were kind and attentive. The approaching channel was well marked with plenty of depth. We thoroughly enjoyed this relaxing stop!

    We loved this stop! It was like stepping back in time. No frills, just a quiet place to stay with a few docks and cottages, a gift shop and a superb restaurant. They do provide a men and women's restroom w/ a shower and there was an old washer and dryer available. We found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating.

    Very nice marina with cleated, floating docks! Brand new, clean restroom, shower and laundry building. The staff was very friendly. Only drawback is, the Key West Jet Express runs out of this facility. They fire their engines up at 6am and run them until their 8am departure. I'm an early riser, so it didn't bother me, but if you like to sleep in, it might not be the best place for you!
