Big Tub Resort & Marina

Must do! We rented a clear kayak for an hour and couldn’t have a more beautiful experience and the price was amazing. The staff was also amazing, will recommend to anyone in the area. Was able to see the shipwrecks, and were very accommodating to children. They loved it!

Stayed here for 2 nights. It's located right on the water and has a marina. I booked here specifically for easy access to the water for kayaking. We brought our own. Which may I add its a beautifully location, a small paddle to the shipwrecks and in the other direction to the lighthouse. Situated away from downtown but only a 5 minute drive. If you seek a quiet location, this is it. We stayed in a waterview king room, my only complaint is the noise from occupants above. When walking it is loud and disrupted our sleep. Next time I'm hoping to book one of the rooms without an upstairs. Couple hints: there's a microwave and toaster by the pop and ice machine inside a shed and available 24/7. Also, the towels are located out of sight under the sink.

The rooms are in the process of going through a refresh as it appears the complex has a lengthy history. It is too far from town to walk but is only a 5 to 10 minute drive. Close to the lighthouse--within walking distance. Its location is causing staffing issues and the on-site restaurant is closed due to a lack of staff. We stayed on the second floor, river facing but the tall trees block much of the view. Staff is very friendly and courteous. Room was clean and recently updated and was a good size. Good value for the $$$.
