About
RealReviews profileSunset Marina at 5555 College Road is a Stock Island wet-slip alternative that publishes 20-, 30-, 40-, 50- and 60-foot slip bands plus fuel and ship-store access. Its website resolves the Key West location and basic configuration, while prices, live availability, utilities, deposit, waitlist, insurance and hurricane terms require direct confirmation. Google Places reported an outside aggregate of 4.3 from 178 reviews in the RealReviews database on August 5, 2026; that figure is attributed to Google and is not a RealReviews score or a substitute for inspected review bodies. The profile's useful role is to turn a direct conversation into a berth-specific, comparable proposal. Search results also contain marinas with the same or a similar name outside Florida. The College Road address, 305-296-7101 and sunsetmarinakw.com define the local identity boundary. Price sheets, reviews or policies from another Sunset Marina do not belong in the Key West decision. The local proposal should state the legal contracting name, invoice name and current terms so identity remains clear through deposit, occupancy and any later dispute. A useful review identifies the exact slip product and term so future readers can distinguish transient service from a long-term berth and dates any quoted rate or policy. That boundary keeps invoices, rate claims, and reviews attached to the correct marina.
Sunset Marina: what to know
RealReviews editorial researchSunset Marina is a sensible direct-quote finalist for owners seeking a 20- to 60-foot Stock Island wet slip without assuming the larger resort model at Stock Island Marina Village. The site identifies the local facility and slip bands but leaves the commercial decision mostly to the inquiry. Require the actual berth, billed length, beam, depth, utilities, access, parking, deposit, liveaboard status, hurricane plan and all mandatory charges before comparing it with a posted rate elsewhere.
Strongest fit
- Boats within the published 20- to 60-foot bands
- Owners seeking a Stock Island wet slip
- Boaters who value on-site fuel and ship-store access
- Customers willing to obtain a complete direct quote
Verify before booking Sunset Marina
- No complete public Key West rate sheet
- Slip-band labeling does not prove fit
- Utility and liveaboard terms require confirmation
- Outside star aggregates do not answer contract questions
A slip band is the beginning of fit, not the berth assignment
Send true length overall, beam, draft, air draft, displacement, engines, tender arrangement and shore-power requirement. Ask Sunset to identify the actual slip, usable beam, controlling depth, dock construction, exposure and approach. A label such as 40-foot slip does not say how billed length is calculated, whether projections fit or which neighboring boats and pilings constrain maneuvering.
Visit at a relevant tide when possible. Walk the route from parking and deliveries to the berth, inspect pedestal and water location, and confirm fuel, pump-out, trash, restrooms, showers, laundry, carts, gate hours and contractor access. Put any promised facility item on the proposal; a website overview can change without changing the signed lease.
Sunset's direct quote should be normalized against posted competitors
Request base price and time unit, billed footage and minimum, tax, electricity, water, pump-out, parking, access cards, liveaboard or person charges, deposit, waitlist, events, late payment, cancellation and renewal. Ask when the quoted rate can change and whether it follows berth, vessel or calendar. Without those fields, a direct monthly number cannot be compared fairly with Hurricane Hole or Stock Island Marina Village.
Use the owner's actual term. Add move-in and exit charges, utility deposits and any nonrefundable amount, then calculate the same dates across finalists. If fuel or ship-store access matters, confirm hours and whether customers receive any pricing or priority. Do not count a convenience as savings until it appears in the operating plan.
Read outside feedback for the exact marina question
The RealReviews database carries a Google Places aggregate of 4.3 from 178 reviews captured August 5, 2026. It remains Google's outside signal, not a RealReviews score. Because review bodies were not imported and coded, this profile does not claim recurring praise or complaints. A number alone cannot establish berth condition, management response, utilities, billing or storm handling.
If using outside reviews, filter for recent comments about the exact product and term: wet-slip condition, power, parking, access, communication, billing, moves and storms. Look for repeated specifics and counterexamples, then ask Sunset directly about any current issue. After a real stay, a first-party RealReviews review tied to the named slip product would add more useful evidence than another context-free star.
The hurricane and departure clauses deserve their own page
Obtain the facility's named-storm procedure, trigger, notification method, evacuation or securing requirement, deadline, staff authority, line and fender standards, power shutdown and charges. Identify the approved destination and who moves a disabled vessel. Confirm the plan with the insurer; a College Road address or marina name does not establish storm safety.
Read cancellation, renewal, rate-change, late payment, lien, holdover, damage reporting and ordinary removal together. Preserve intake photographs and the accepted berth condition. If the boat cannot leave under its own power, the lease should explain notice, towing or haul arrangements, temporary location and cost. That exit case is more revealing than a generic promise of secure storage.
