“We spent one night at the Water Street hotel and enjoyed the clean suite and beautiful views.”

From the reviews

Good hotel, but several issues keep it from being a great hotel. TL/DR: Great balcony, full kitchen, and friendly vibes reel you in — but paper-thin walls, prehistoric mattresses, and BPH-levels of water pressure might have you wishing you'd stayed on the boat.

★★★★☆ — Doc, May 2025

This is one of my favorite hotels I've ever stayed in. The views out of the back of the rooms are amazing night and day. The location is beautiful and the rooms are luxurious with full kitchens. I can't think of anything I don't enjoy about this hotel.

Getting married at Water Street Hotel & Marina, an Ascend Collection Hotel

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
