Great stop, friendly staff. Dock hand was great & polite. Restrooms were clean. Laundry was not completed yet. Loaner bikes were new. Not a lot in Oxford, but if you stop, this is a great location

Reservation was easy to book, communication was excellent. We arrived after hours and were able to find our slip no problem, docking was a bit tight but we were on an interior slip all the way inside. We had no trouble with any of the amenities, all the instructions for access were clear. We also liked the location, everywhere we wanted to go was walkable or assessable by bicycle. We would definitely book a slip here again. Only reason for four stars is because it isn't a resort style marina.

Nice quiet marina. Most docks are finger piers. Good pool and baths with roomy showers which appear to be relatively newly tiled. Appears to be a big improvement as contrasted with the previous review of one year ago. Staff friendly. Close walking to market, inn, and restaurant. I found no current discrepancies between the site and the Waterway Guide listing. I try to stay in independent privately owned marinas whenever possible.

DiMillos has only had the old Brewers for about a month. They have their work cut out for them. The docks are terrible. the bathrooms were filthy, the amenities were not as listed in the Waterway Guide. I'd give them a couple of years to get off the ground before going again.

WG Editor Comment:
As Vessel Our Time states, this facility recently changed ownership and the new management is working on improvements.

As of 06/18/21, the new owners have had this place open for two weeks. Apparently the transition from the previous owners was not smooth and there are a few problems.

That said, docking was very easy once we found the place. They are working on signage. The facilities are OK, not a "resort", but decent. There is a swimming pool, showers and heads.

They are not fully staffed yet, but the office manager and manager are pleasant and helpful.

The marina is in a great location with respect to the town and the location makes walking to the restaurants and general store much easier than the other marinas.

This will be my stop the next time we pass through Oxford.
