Those little yachtel's are they for rent? Do you need to be a member?

My grandmother-in-law lives there and was on the committee to "resurrect" one of the yachtel's.

It's an amazing place.

love the ORC. we'll be down there for thanksgiving. father-in-law is there this weekend playing a little golf w/ KBK... i'd tell you to keep an eye out for a fellow in a pink blazer and lilly pants, but that wouldn't narrow it down much. enjoy that cocktail at Member's Point watching the boats come in.

Such a great place. Unfortunately its lost its soul I think...lots of loose architecture and the closing of Blues Bar to drive more revenue out of their big new Bergie bar that is 100% void of character.

There is a 'sister' club to Ocean Reef called Anglers - still very old school - worth a visit. Still has the piano bar...

Reef Cups are my favorite drinks ever. I have tried to recreate them but have never made them even close to as good
