The staff made everything simple and stress-free, and we were out on the water in no time. There's nothing better than sunshine, friends, and a day on the lake. This has definitely become a summer tradition for us, and I can't wait to do it again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing way to enjoy North Carolina's warm days!

New Marina owner managed to destroy the local boating community in a matter of months evicting the…read moredozens of good-paying customers including Freedom Boat Club to replace them with overpriced rental pontoons to force the locals into their Monopoly scheme. Price gouging on everything including fuel. Many of the past customers had to sell their boats for pennies on the dollar or move them over an hour away to Kerr Lake. One $300k Houseboat even had to be donated to Charity Auction to be moved in time. We hope they are happy with their greed and lack of thought for the community.

Today we pull up and one of their rental boats, and 2 other boats were in spaces. So, we waited patiently for about 5 minutes, then we were cut off by a guy with the rental company driving a tritoon. We then took a spot after a wakeboard boat left. The guy at the pump said "we close at 5 we are shutting down" and walked away. Mind you it's 10 minutes to 5pm and he could've told us that as he saw we were clearly circling and waiting the whole time. Thankfully we weren't that close to E and our cove is right around the corner. I'm sure if we were driving a $100k boat he would've gladly let us fill up. It was extremely rude and will not be patronizing this gas station again and will let others know as well.

Great pool and bath house, laundry, floating docks, dog park across the street, with instacart and walmart delivery options.

We rode the boat around and down to Washington then stopped by here on our return to the launch to drive home. It was getting to the end of the day with the air cooling down and the sun setting. This spot combined with the Blount's Creek that lets out through here made for a wonderfully peaceful and quiet setting. The docks were clean. There's a gas pump with extending hose line so you can fill your boat at the dock. Inside there's an expansive store with shirts, food, snacks, boat and camping supplies. Even tube, kayak and SUP rentals. But I would be remiss not to mention the funny and friendly staff serving up ice cream. It's not 31 flavors but I think most anyone can find something they like out of the 6 or so they have. Looking for a chill out to wrap up a day on the water? This is the place.

Locals know the drill, order a bucket of beer and get settled in. Don't expect it to be very kid friendly, no kids menu and all the tables outside are high tops (although they do have high chairs). We arrived slightly before 6pm, before the dinner rush- but still waited 45 minutes to get our food. Our bill was slightly discounted because of the delay, (did I mention we had to get our own lemonade refill) but I'd rather have faster food service than comped food. The view is what people really come for. Here's a snap of my drink, The Hummingbird.
