Weekend stay w/ boat slip?

Gatto Nero · 05-10-2006, 08:11 AM

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression the the slips at Church Landing were actually public slips. I believe the hotel paid for the docking structure but as a concession to the town for the wrap around boardwalk they had to leave the slips public. Even so, Meredith does allow overnight docking, right?

Pretty sure Silver Sands has rooms with docks.

I don't believe Meredith allows any overnight docking after a certain date, like May 15th... the docks in front of Church Landing are public, not rentable

While the docks in front of Church Landing are public w/ no overnight docking, the single pier in front of Bay Point is owned by the Mill Falls people, and you can dock there overnight on a space available basis if you are a guest.

The Inn at Smith Cove is worth a look. My wife and I enjoyed our stay there. The dock is decent and it is in a protected cove.

Whens staying at Church Landing, I spoke with the hotel about the docks. Although they are public docks, it seems that they are only public during the day, and Church Landing has "exclusive use" of them overnight for those guests who bring boats (on a first come, first served basis).

I guess that maked everyone right!

I think your parents would like the Smith Cove Inn. With proper booking you can guarantee a slip for their boat. They have several lovely rooms and a nice breakfast to kick off the day. We stayed there several time before we got our place on Cow. We have also had friends stay there.

Would they be able to launch the boat each day? If so Lakeport Landing has a nice boat ramp and you can usually get a place to park on the street. Then simply tow the boat to the Margate or Churches Landing, et al. It certainly is more economical.

We stayed at Center Harbor once but the rooms were so so and the mattress was lumpy.Not sure what they have done to improve the place. I think we stayed there around 2000.

Cobolt -- I agree with your 2000 assesment of Center Harbor Inn -- It's under new Management since then --

It's still nothing extravagant (like Church Landing)-- a standard "hotel room" but it's clean, friendly, easy to get to. And most importantly reasonably priced WITH slips!!

All in all -- not a bad spot for a Friday/Sat nite stay if your boating all day
