Boatel California Stay on a 40’ boat - best location in Ventura Harbor Gr8 Views

It was our pleasure. We look forward to welcoming you aboard again when you are ready!

It was our pleasure to host you two!!! Thank you for the amazing review!!

We are very surprised to see this negative review! While we are new on VRBO, we have hundreds of 5 star reviews on ABB, Google, etc. Did you read our description before you booked? Our pictures are recent and accurate. In the first line of our description, it says, "we are like an RV on the water". Our showers work fine but are small like most boat and RV showers so, as a courtesy, we provide the keys to the spacious harbor shower and laundry room - which you can see from the boatel, for those that want more room - most people appreciate this). And, you can use both bathrooms on the boatel - as indicated in the description, one is a marine style flushing toilet and the bow bathroom has an RV/BOAT porta potty which guests are fine to use. We even left the guests a fruit basket and a bottle of champagne which went untouched. Sounds like you did not read the description and were expecting "luxurious" - which we do not claim to be. As our hundreds of 5 star reviews and the recent ones from this month on vrbo indicate, we take guest satisfaction very seriously and when we asked you how everything was going, you said it was nice but it sounded like you had a bad day and didn't place in the race? In the future, if you have an issue with a place you are staying, let your host know right away - if our pictures or description were not up to date or not accurate, we would have made it right but the fact is, we take pictures often to keep them current and our description is 100% spot on to the listing as our hundreds of 5 star reviews indicate. As for pricing, we are very competitive with the harbor hotels and the ventura beach hotels and we have a MUCH better view and experience (for 995 of our guests at least ; ). I encourage anyone reading this review to look up "Boatel California in the beautiful Ventura Harbor" on abb (the other popular site) and see our hundreds of 5 star reviews. If you come for a luxurious hotel stay, we are not your place. If you want a spacious, clean, well stocked Boat on the water steps away from all the action of the Ventura Harbor restaurants, shops, live music, etc we are definitely your place! If anyone has any questions about this, feel free to reach out to us. Thank you. *I did want to add that the boatel you rented had an RV Queen and a single bed in the master, a full size fold out couch in the living room, and 2 bunks in the bow suitable for smaller adults or children over 11 - you can find all of thsi in our descripton as well. We have people with 6 stay all of the time - I would say you would need to be a comfortable crew for that with a couple small people but it has more sleeping arrangements and space than most hotel rooms along with all the amenities mentioned in our listing not common in hotel rooms.

Hi Julie, you left a 3 star review but no comment. All your correspondence with us before, during, and after your stay was positive. We gave you an early check in, late check out, gift card to deep sea wine tasting, and you mentioned you had a great stay so I can only assume this 3 star review was a glitch or mistake?

It was our pleasure hosting you. We look forward to welcoming you again when you are ready.
