The yacht was beautiful and a perfect fit for our family. We have an RV and it was akin to staying in an RV on water. We loved it and would absolutely stay there again if out that way. The location was incredible and parking was easy by PF Changs in a secured lot.

Unique and fun

We really enjoyed this unique way to be accommodated. Well equipped although a blue tooth speaker that was listed as provided, had been stolen previously, so that wasn’t replaced. We appreciated the breakfast items and the luggage cart to transfer. The bathrooms could’ve been spot checked a bit better but all in all the boat was clean. Shower water pressure not great but we’re aware of boats that can happen. It was nice watching tour boats go out and seeing people enjoying the lighthouse.

Pictures on the web, of the boat, suggested an unobstructed view of the lighthouse and Queen Mary, but there were several boats in front of us. I also thought that the boat would be further out in the harbor so you would get the sensation that you were on a boat. That wasn't the case. No bottle of wine as indicated. However, a continental breakfast and coffee was provided in the room fee.

Great spot to stay,it was so super relaxing.the Owners are great People ,very happy and informative of the area..sleeping on a boat is great ,I havent slept like that since a baby hahahah. The boat was very clean very comfortable. I made my reservation on Expedia and within just a couple hours they called me to confirm.. let me finish by saying I could go on and on how much I loved staying on dock five with the folks of dockside. It was just downright beautiful, relaxing great experience plenty of restaurants and there’s an outlet center. Fun things to do right in the area Shoreline Village aquarium you could walk to all those things and just stroll back to your boat and it’s your own little paradise.

Fun Alternative to a Stuffy Hotel

Everything was great. We were greeted, provided instructions on the boat, and felt very welcome. The boat and dock was private and quiet at night. We attended a conference at the Long Beach Convention Center, which was a quick walk away. Restaurants were abundant and easily visited on foot. We felt safe and comfortable.

Love love love this place! Management was accommodating and nice also informative on arrival . The location is next to literally everything. We didn't have to uber anywhere . We walked to eat and to the mall to shop. Stayed here a night before our cruise and the terminal is not far at all. Highly recommend and would stay again!

This is an excellent way to stay in the area! We used this as a layover from our trip to Catalina and honestly enjoyed this more than our condo in Avalon. Ferry terminal and the aquarium are both an easy walk. The only fault (and this is pretty minor) was breakfast. While provided, it was a bit underwhelming, and the nearest breakfast place was a bit of a walk.

Lovin the Ca Sea Ta

While previously in Long Beach for a concert I walked past Dockside Boat and Bed, thinking it would be a cool experience for my family. It did not disappoint! From check in to check out our need were met amazingly and the Ca Sea Ta was perfect for my family of 4. It was super clean, bery comfortable, and such an awesome weekend getaway! 100% will book again!
