What happened after
36-room waterfront hotel with marina; official site directly fetched, live booking system with room-type selection.
What happened on the show
Set in the Florida Keys, the Creekside was a 36-room waterfront hotel with its own marina, the kind of property that sells the Keys' boating-and-fishing lifestyle right from the dock. The episode, Owner Overboard, signaled trouble at the top, an ownership situation pulling the operation off course. A waterfront hotel with a marina has valuable, distinctive assets, but they only pay off if the whole operation rows in the same direction. Melchiorri examined the rooms, the marina and the guest experience along the Old Highway, then pushed to steady the ownership and the management so the property could sell its waterfront-and-boating identity properly. He was pressing the plain truth the show found everywhere for an asset-rich property in trouble: the location and the marina are gold, but a clear head running the operation is what turns them into a healthy business.
After the cameras left
The Creekside is still docked and open in the Keys. As of our 2026 verification the 36-room waterfront hotel with marina is operating, with a directly checked official site running a live booking system offering room-type selection, at its Islamorada-area address on the Old Highway. Its traveler-review profile runs to several hundred entries with a three-and-a-half-star average. More than a decade after the ownership drama the episode captured, the property is still selling the Keys waterfront it was built on. Confirmed operating as of 2026.
