This was the perfect overnight stay, we loved the small seaside town and enjoyed the the meals at Ocean House! John and Mark were great deck hands too! Looking forward to visiting again next year.

We love this place. No marina facilities, but totally out weighed but the great location vibe!

John was accommodating, helpful and polite. He accommodated an early arrival due to almost no other boats being at the marina (after Labor Day, mid-week, rough seas). He also helped secure our boat and hook up shore power and water. He was a pleasure to chat with. The marina is very conveniently located mere steps away from the Olympia Tea Room (where dinner was superb). The assorted shops were a joy to walk through and we also loved walking around and looking at the magnificently designed homes...truly a joy to behold the gorgeous architecture in that area. The marina is a 10 minute walk from the gorgeously restored and top rated Ocean House hotel where we were surprised to find a Ludwig Bemelmans art exhibit (he illustrated the Madeline childrens books). Definitely get to the hotel for a walk around, perhaps lunch and a cocktail and a magnificent view of the ocean.

Just stayed one night. It was quiet. Close to town and beach. No frills dock (just ice) but location is everything.

Fantastic location, great help getting set up on the fixed docks. Watch Hill is a special place and this Marina is right in the mix.

Terrific! Extremely helpful. Be careful around sandy point coming in or out. A lot of shoaling and poorly marked around green 5a

Excellent , the views are amazing the slip was perfect and John was great also. Can’t wait to come back at the end of July

Perfect location right in the center of a town. Plenty to do just a short walk away. Lots of shopping options right across the street. We had a great dinner and view at Ocean House, a 10 minute walk from the slip. Delicious breakfast sandwich at the deli, also just across the street.
Mark, the Dockmaster, was very helpful and professional. We would highly recommend Watch Hill Docks.

Very nice area. Olympia Tea Room was great.

Watch Hill is not to be missed, and the watch Hill docs are right in the heart of town. They have a strict cancellation policy, which hurt us when we were delayed by rough weather. But their location is perfect – close to the beaches, close to the shops, right on the waterfront. And a very friendly and helpful dock master.

Beatiful location. Wonderful dock people
by peter b. - Verified user on Aug 02, 2024
Water, electric, dock hand were terrific. Good lighting on docks. Shower, would have nice, but we knew in advance. Approach needs a little concentration, but, hey, that’s what boating is about. Lovely area of preserved genteel environment.

What a beautiful place to visit. John is the best! As well as Mark and Alex. Always there to help you out. Cute little town with shops and restaurants. East Beach is the nicest beach around. My favorite place to visit...
