What the two facilities offer
Both listings are Public Storage locations, and the reviews back them up at 4.8 and 4.7 stars across 440 and 415 reviews. That is a lot of feedback for just two places, so you can read through it and get a real sense of how each one runs day to day. Each facility handles covered, indoor and outdoor storage, and each accepts boats and vehicles. Both are gated and lit, and both give you 24/7 gate access. That last part is worth checking against your own schedule. If you like launching before sunrise or pulling in after dark, gate hours are the first thing to confirm.
Choosing between covered and indoor
Outdoor spots cost less and are fine for a trailer or a hull you do not mind washing. Covered keeps the worst of the sun and hail off the gelcoat and the cover. Indoor is the one that really saves a boat, since it keeps UV, pollen and storm debris off the upholstery and the wiring all season. Weigh how much you use the boat. A rig that sits from November to March earns indoor space. One you splash every weekend can live outside if you keep it covered and rinse it after each trip. Ask about aisle width and door height before you commit, because a tower or a tall T-top can change what fits.
Before you sign
Walk the aisle where your boat would sit. Look at drainage, lighting and how tight the turns are with a trailer behind you. Ask what the facility wants for insurance and proof of registration, and get the access rules in writing. On the boat itself, pull the battery and put it on a maintainer over the off season, and leave the plug out so rain drains. Winterizing matters here even in Virginia, since a hard freeze can crack a block or a manifold. Snap a few photos of the hull and trailer when you drop it off, and check the gate code works before you tow anything in.
