    Excellent marina services, including a reasonably well stocked chandlery. Laundry. Lounge.

    Loaner cars (well maintained) make shopping in Kilmarnock (Walmart, Food Lion, Ace, several good eateries) convenient.

    Great fuel dock.

    Excellent bathrooms and private showers. Internet is very reliable and fast.

    Staff is amazing.

    Dog friendly.

    It's pricey- by our standards. $100 minimum so our small boat basically paid as if a 36 footer. Well worth it for the quality of the stay.

    Great anchorage, some exposure to North or NW winds. We did have a 180 shift in winds while there but the anchor was good. Sandy bottom.
    excellent sandy Beach for the dog, multiple beaching options and enough room for some long walks. Just fantastic anchorage for an easy in and out.

    Watch for the fish weirs on approach. scattered but easily avoidable crab pots in the area

    Verizon signal was very good.
