You should have no concerns about renting at MVYC. Not all slips are alike as you have already read. Be sure you know what dock and slip you are renting. Other items:

Renters get only one parking pass. If you have other cars you may need to use the guest lot. It could be a bit of a hike depending on where your slip is located.

As a new renter you are not allowed to bring pets (dogs) on the property.

You get all the other benefits.
You are free to poison your lungs while on your boat in the slip. I do not recall seeing any No Smoking signs except in the buildings and by the gas dock and tanks. Just police your butts and keep them off the beach, grounds and out of the water.

You get 2 adult and 2 children tickets (assuming you have children under 14) to the annual picnic. The privilege of using Irwin's at Mt. View YC service. Beaches, bath houses, launch ramp. You get town water and electric service included (I don't drink the water). You can pay a fee for a cable TV hook up at your slip. There is even winter storage that may be part of your season rental package (fees for work, hauling, prep and better storage location - see rules or the office for specifics).

You pay NO tax. You pay NO annual club fee. You do not get charged any assessment (such as that rumored in this thread-starter). You just pay your agreed upon rent.
