At the time we made the decision to book this property, they had pictures showing the boat dock with a place to park a boat. That is why we chose this property, because we always bring our boat. A few days before, I contacted the manager and informed him that they could just pull the straps up as I would park my boat without using them. Then I was informed that I couldn't use the boat dock and I should use the spaces at the neighborhood marina. I tried to have a reasonable discussion with the manager but he was unwilling to do so. The morning after we arrived I spent at least two hours trying to find a place to park my boat but the neighborhood security informed me that the slip at the neighborhood marina are not available to rent for just a few nights. I went to the nearest public marina and they informed me that they don't rent slips for just a few nights either. So I contacted the manager and ended up speaking to his assistant. The bottom line is that the manager was afraid the poles of the boat dock would give way and the second floor of the boat dock would collapse onto the lower level and boat if the boat was parked at the boat dock. However, we were welcome to use both levels of the boat dock for hanging out on. I explained that I would be simply tying the boat to the dock and that the dock would not be supporting any weight from the boat as it would be sitting in the water. Despite my attempts to reason with him, he refused. We had to launch and retrailer all weekend.
