Or they will cook them for you to eat at a dockside picnic table and watch the lobsters being unloaded, weighed, and held until retailers pick them up. We ordered a just a pound of clams and a 1.5 lb lobster and butter to share. You can also purchase some sides and drinks. In hindsight we could have brought our own bread, salad and wine or beer and that would have been OK. But the seafood was enough for us. Very low key, no frills, and the lobster couldn't be fresher. Love that kind of place for half the price of a lobster roll somewhere much fancier. We'll be back.

This was our experience when we bought an older 26' sailboat from Mikie and had it cleaned, prepped and launched for our arrival in June. I find them trustworthy, friendly and willing to go out of their way to assist, including a rescue I witnessed where Mikie towed a stranded family back to his dock one evening. I give Mikie and Charlotte and their crew my highest recommendation.

My family and I had a wonderful stay in the Seaward Cottage. We arrived later in the evening 7/4…read moreand departed 7/6 mid morning. When we arrived the receptionist was so nice. She offered many tips and made sure we were all set. In the morning on the 5th we grabbed some coffee inside the reception area. We toured the gift store and checked out the restaurant menu. We needed a couple extra bath towels and the gentleman behind the reception counter was very helpful and accommodating. Our cottage was the perfect size for the five of us. We even made one bathroom work n with no issues. The bathroom is actually a pretty good size. The bathroom could definitely use some hooks throughout to hang towels and maybe wet bathing suits, etc. Especially since this is geared for a party of 6. We had no problem with hot water. The living room set up is also a decent size with a working fireplace and a table and chairs in the corner. The kitchenette is tiny but packs a lot in there. The beds were extremely comfortable and the linens were clean and soft. The porch was so inviting. We sat outside numerous times and enjoyed it. The WiFi worked great, no issues. We used the pool one evening and that was perfect after a day of walking. Towels are provided and the pool is heated but not super warm. We had no problem swimming in it. I like that the pool will be open slightly later 830/9 depending on dusk time. Only complaint is how fast some cars go out front in the property. My concern is there is many people in that area on and off during the day including children. But, that is no fault to them. Maybe speed bumps to help slow people down? Overall this is a great location with beautiful views.

All I can say is nepotism is never a good idea with business personnel. The marina is managed by several close-knit family/ friends, (I'm not sure of the exact family tree) members who do not have anyone else's best interests in mind other than their own. This became apparent when discussing a bill with the office personnel but through a third party who has some anger issues. The problem which was minor in nature escalated into lies and theatrics. Everyone can have an off day, but this was over the top. I've never been subjected to such horrible personal accusations by anyone ever. Threats of expulsion from the marina manager and accusations for nothing that was ever explained and certainly could not be substantiated whatever they were. As I said, all this over a bill that could have been solved so easily had they simply been willing to talk to me and discuss rationally about whatever this problem was, to this day I still don't know. I left because I didn't feel safe from false accusations by people who are not stable. Be warned.
