Dockside is a great place; its pictures don't do it justice. The setting, with its water views, is outstanding. The location is peaceful and quiet, yet it is close to many activities. The rooms are well appointed and clean, and the food at both the Inn breakfast and the onsite restaurant is excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
My wife and I have stayed at Dockside the last two years (just the two of us) and were joined this year for part of the stay by our immediate family (all 19 of us). Dockside worked for us for both the large group and as a couple. The larger group enjoyed activities such as the nearby beaches, sightseeing, kayaking and especially some competitive shuffleboard games onsite. The Captain's Quarters served very well as a gathering spot for family dinners and games. The BBQ grill was a little rickety, but the staff quickly repaired it for our use. The Inn breakfast also served as an impromptu gathering place for family chats. My 7 year old granddaughter best summed up our feelings about Dockside when, on departure morning, she said to me " Papa, I don't want to leave this place".
