I waited more than 2 hours to be let into the dock. Host replied 6 hours after check-in time without even apologizing. I had to cancel my stay, and it ruined what I had planned for the weekend. I do not recommend this host!
The stay was so relaxing. The bed was super comfy and the experience went above and beyond. Out of this 3 week vacation with over 6000 miles driven and stayed at multiple places around the country Mike was the absolute best when it Came to any questions and checking in on our stay .
I really liked my stay in the marina on a boat.
I felt safe, the building with the showers was close by and the area is great! Walking distance to Venice, easy to cycle to Santa Monica and also going to the supermarket/restaurants was easy.
The boat itself was ok, I have sailed a lot on similar boats and I feel a bit sorry for this one. It seems she doesn't receive a lot of love.
Very basic inside, the lights in the forepeak did not function and there was hardly any cups/plates etc.
Very responsive host. Lock box was a bit hard to find, but host directed us to it. Was dark, windy and cold and we were tired, so that didnât help. Boat is older, but served our needs. Beds comfortable and heater worked. Location was perfect, minutes from our family and very close to Cheesecake Factory. We wanted a different experience of staying on a sailboat, and this fit the bill. Marina showers were free to use.
Absolutely no bathroom! Not acurately listed due to a really big problem when the only realbathroom are the public bathroom and shower but you cant go by yourself due to safety.
Owner communicated consistently, helped us work around difficulties in a quick turnaround rental. Was a fun weekend aboard for one adult, two kids and a dog. Good instructions and accommodations! Thanks will go back again!
I stayed at the Catalina 30â vessel with my 4 year old son for his 5th birthday; I am a racer/sailer so I knew what we were doing and expecting..great trip.
Once we arrived we assessed our next few days of what we would need for our stay. We ordered groceries and drink essentials to be delivered, arranged our personal belongings, and took a little time to learn the vessel that we could call home for 5 days. Our host always responded with any questions. We recently rented a motorhome for a trip so that experience was very helpful with this stay. Staying on the water was very relaxing. We did have some gale winds hitting the beach but staying in the marina we had no worries. We look forward to a return trip.
Thank you,
Dom/Anna
I didn't understand the checkin procedure but the host was kind enough to come down and walk me through it. Nice guy, cute dog! The kitchen needs some work on this older boat and some of the bedding has seen better days, but I enjoyed my time on board and the area is great!
