Since this is mainly a food review site I will be honest and say the dockside breakfast was good, I tipped well and complimented the cook. This review is not about the inn, but the marina, however since they are one in the same they should be held to the same standards and perhaps maybe they are. I stayed in VRBO just next to the inn and rented a wet slip for the weekend. I paid for the boat lift in advance on Sunday morning during my second trip to the marina store spending over 200$ each trip ( a total of 500$ spent here in just two days because I like to support local and small businesses). I was told to be back to the boat lift by 5:45, not 5 minutes before or any other specific time. I even inquired what the best time was to arrive and to make sure if we ran late that would be ok. I was ASSURED by the marina staff (who was friendly up until this review) that as long as I was on the dock at 5:45 they would help me. Well the thing is I wasn't trying to be that aggravating last person that causes someone to work 10 minutes after their shift ends, I was trying to be back right at 5 because I had things to do too. However on our way back from grassy we were stopped and boarded by FWC... and before anyone says anything- we got no tickets, we had everything in order, it was a random inspection and we were the lucky winners I understand they have a job to do, and unlike the marina boat lift employee they actually care to do their job. This put us 30 minutes behind getting to the lift. So as we pulled up to the dock at exactly 5:43 on the minute (my Apple Watch) my husband hurried down the dock as the lift had just put one last boat in the water. He waved his hands and said "sir" to the dock hand preparing to close the lift. He ignored my husband and me but when we confronted him he stated that the lift closed at 5:45, which was now 5:44 as I was facing him showing him my watch and he could not care less. He was a large, lazy, rude and incompetent individual that should have no business employed if he does not want to work. He was heartless, even as I explained what had happened. He didn't even care to try and assist in any way. So now our truck is at the marina, and we have to go all the way to the boat ramp 1.5 miles away. We tried calling everyone we know in steinhatchee but everyone was already gone... where I will be soon and intend to stay. I know I am just one small person but I certainly will never set foot here again, if I do ever come back to the hatch I will use sea hag from now on as we always have. I will tell everyone I know to avoid this marina like the plague and plaster these reviews everywhere I can find a traveler looking for a hospitable place... because this ain't it. To be honest, I have been thinking about finding a better scalloping town for a while. So I doubt I will ever come back... do yourself a favor and look up crystal river, cape San blas, st George island... find a better place. Period. read more
