Beautiful area and we got in at the last weekend of the season. Place is rough. Could use a make over.
Great access to the bay, family fun on the beach, grown up fun at the beach bar and restaurant at night. The bands are always great at both places. Got my boat bottom soda blasted and painted and after one season not one flake came off they are working on a few updates including the pool the resturant's new owners are still trying to find a good groove, but it's definitely better than last year my summer was awesome and can't wait for next year. It's a beautiful place.
Beautiful Marina but extremely expensive. $90 for only a day slip no electric and not covered and they made us pay not our friends who were visiting with us on the same pier with the same size boat. I will go just a little further to Tolchester Beach Marina where you can get a covered slip overnight with electric for a 32 ft boat under $90 and a beautiful beach as well.
I purchased a boat that was docked at this marina. All of the staff, from the office personnel to the service department, could not have been any more helpful or kinder to me. They offered great advice, helped with my service needs and made me feel right at home there. Thank you so much!
We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and slipped our boat in a transient slip for 2 nights. I left my shore power cord at my dock, and the marina manager had one to lend. Very kind. He could have sold me one -- I would have had no choice but to buy it. Another reviewer is right; wifi was intermittent. The young dock hands were attentive and professional; I was impressed. I'll give the restaurant mixed reviews. Buffet breakfast was ordinary and choices limited, but we really enjoyed sharing a bunch of seafood appetizers for dinner. Food was delicious, portions weren't huge, and so the prices weren't outrageous, which suits us fine. The weather was really crappy, so we didn't spend much time at Jellyfish Joel's, but we did grab a drink and listen to the band for a bit. It was a really nice weekend, friendly people and good customer service. And you can't beat the views.
They have excellent service and it just makes me feel at home. I love, why don't you try it.
Great location and atmosphere, always have a great time with friends here!
I stayed here for the weekend with my four year old. The room was clean and the veiw was beautiful! The bathroom was spacious and very clean as well. The bed was very comfortable. The hotel has a game room for the kids and a swing set. The people working in the office are so great! (Especially Mary)
When my daughter and I left sunday morning to check out, we didn't realize we had left her "blanky" behind. When I called and spoke to Mary the next day she had someone take it into town and over night it to me!
Absolutely an all around great stay!
I've been travelling here with my parents since I was a kid back in the 70's. I continued going to Great Oaks with my kids when I got my own boat in 1995 and to this day still got there. When I have a large crowd we reserve rooms at the lodge. They are spotless with breathtaking views and the employees are always courteous. Great Oak Landing Marina and Lodge has plenty of thing to do for the whole family. Night life there is also fun and Jellyfish Joel's is great too. I was just there with my daughter and granddaughter this past weekend and the staff at the Lodge went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
The location is not bad, however the downside outweighs any positives. The manager of the marina is incompetent and untrustworthy base on my experience.
For example:
* for years he has promised to get the cell service fixed along with the WIFI. To date as bad and unusable as ever.
* He looks after his friends and family only (will provide them discounts, creates polices on the fly to support them, etc). Even when they are in violation of the marina rules or violate the rights of other slip holders
* No customer service for paid slip holders unless friends and family
* Many boats over the years have decided to leave the marina due to all the issues and incompetence.
* Manager will give you a price and agree to something and will not honor. Even when in writing.
* Yearly survey is conducted, however anything negative is never addressed.
* The list could continue but I hope you get the point and protect yourself.
Any chance the marina has is to replace the manager and get someone that knows what they are doing. Make sure you have a lawyer on retainer because they will twist and manipulate the contract and create new policies and procedures on the fly to meet their needs. They even break the contract and will not honor their word. Just my experience.
