Dockside Boat & Bed Long Beach offers a distinctive stay on moored yachts, with many guests praising the clean, comfortable boats, welcoming hosts, and a walkable harbor location near restaurants, the convention center, aquarium, and cruise terminal.
Service is frequently described as friendly, responsive, and accommodating, with helpful pre-arrival communication. Expect compact, boat-style layouts with steep steps and toilet-in-shower bathrooms; beds are comfortable, views are scenic but can be occasionally obstructed, and space or storage may feel tight. Continental breakfast is simple and sometimes inconsistent, and parking is nearby but paid; a few reviews note occasional odors or area noise. Best for travelers seeking a fun, unique alternative to a standard hotel.

Kent and his wife are awesome and extremely helpful! Kent contacted me the day prior to confirm our arrival time and had our boat ready early. We stayed on the CaSEAta and it was perfect! You step down into a relaxing living and dining area with a large screen smart tv. The kitchen is nice and fully stocked. If you continue straight you will find a bathroom and a bedroom. Opposite of the guest bedroom and bathroom you will find a small set of stairs that lead to master bedroom with another bathroom. Both rooms have TVs and all have DirectTV. Outside there is a relaxing deck area with seating for 4. Up a gew more steps you can relax on the flybridge. Parking was easy and you have a few options. Closest parking is the lot in front of PF Changs/Outback/Chilis/Hooters. There is self parking and valet parking in that lot. Parking is $26/night in that lot with no in/out privileges. There are two parking garages very close by (one across the street at the Pike Outlets and the other next to the Aquarium of the Pacific) both approximately $16/night with no in/out privileges. The last option is on the other side of the harbor (short walk) and is discounted from Dockside. We self parked in the PF Changs lot.

Spent two nights here while at a conference at the convention center. Super convenient not just to the convention center but to the multiple restaurants nearby. Dock 5 is located just behind Gladstones so if - as I did - there's a hospitality event there it is a 100' walk to bed from the venue. Brilliant! If you are familiar with RV or travel trailers this will be similar, just on the water. Only real difference from a traditional hotel are the toilets and showers which are RV-like but work just fine once you understand their operation. As they describe, self-parking nearby is the way to go. Be sure to pull a self-parking ticket (not valet) which you can pay for at a machine between Outback and Chili's. Several boats here, we were on the one shown on the website which had a queen master with its own bath, another berth forward with a bath, interior seating kitchen and dining areas, and two outdoor decks. Several of the other boats looked even larger.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The property was nice and very close to the Long Beach Convention center. Basically, it only took 4-5 minutes to walk there from the dock. Additionally, there are several restaurants and a few shops in the immediate vicinity. The primary concerns were the number of homeless people surrounding the area and the somewhat limited parking for overnight accommodations. Overall, it was a memorable experience.

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.

Need more curtains for privacy. Back door had no blinds or curtains nor did the front have curtains for privacy. The boat behind us could see straight through which was uncomfortable. Also the blind shade that was above the bed had mildew on it. Had mildew along the top lift corner of the upholstery by the bed. Overall was a pleasurable stay. Would definitely rent again. The host was amazing and kind.

Our first time staying on a yacht and it was an awesome experience. The Ca-Sea-Ta worked great for our group of 4. My only feedback was the Directv in the living space didn’t work, but that wasn’t a big deal at all. Be prepared for small bathrooms and bedroom areas though. The location was walking distance to so much we really didn’t need our rental car for much.

The stay was great & could have been excellent had their not been a big eyesore of ship blocking the Marina which was essentially the entire view. Maybe we should have been notified & comped the parking, a free drink coupon, discount off the next stay… but the mere response of it is what it is was a bit of a turn off. Other than that the boat itself.

I needed a place to stay near the convention center and this was half the price of nearby hotels. Location was great. However, this is a boat and things can get cramped. I'm 6' 1" so the shower was really tight and it is shared with the toilet. I would not recommend this for larger people or those with mobility issues. The 2nd bed was really a mattress on the floor in an alcove under the main deck. I would say good for kids but not for a couple. Luggage space was minimal. The dock was much quieter than I expected it would be and I enjoyed the small bits of rocking every so often. However, a colleague that visited me had enough after just 20 minutes of it. I would definitely consider this again but

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.

We booked the Staycation for one night. This was our first time spending the night on a yacht. It was so enjoyable. We will definitely be doing it again. It was spacious, clean and the area around was a good mix of seaside restaurants and other attractions. The cost was comparable to a nice hotel.

It was a scenic “room” in the midst of the main night scene in dockside Long Beach! The views from the boat are wonderful, and less than 10 minute walk to dozens of places, and bike rental. The downside? You’re on a boat! You are climbing up and down ladders and steep stairs to get from here to there, the toilet/shower area is roughly coffin-sized, you need to flush conservatively, etc. But the location made it worthwhile to us.

Kent and his wife are awesome and extremely helpful! Kent contacted me the day prior to confirm our arrival time and had our boat ready early. We stayed on the CaSEAta and it was perfect! You step down into a relaxing living and dining area with a large screen smart tv. The kitchen is nice and fully stocked. If you continue straight you will find a bathroom and a bedroom. Opposite of the guest bedroom and bathroom you will find a small set of stairs that lead to master bedroom with another bathroom. Both rooms have TVs and all have DirectTV. Outside there is a relaxing deck area with seating for 4. Up a gew more steps you can relax on the flybridge. Parking was easy and you have a few options. Closest parking is the lot in front of PF Changs/Outback/Chilis/Hooters. There is self parking and valet parking in that lot. Parking is $26/night in that lot with no in/out privileges. There are two parking garages very close by (one across the street at the Pike Outlets and the other next to the Aquarium of the Pacific) both approximately $16/night with no in/out privileges. The last option is on the other side of the harbor (short walk) and is discounted from Dockside. We self parked in the PF Changs lot.

Our host was delightful. She contacted us the day before to confirm the details and was right there when we arrived. As it turned out, we were booked on the yacht the night tropical storm Hilary made landfall in La Jolla. The yacht was secure, well tied to the dock, and we simply enjoyed safely riding out the storm in style. Our host provided us with an umbrella if we wanted to go ashore for meals and gave us extra snacks, soda, and water. I look forward to returning for a sunny weekend! P.S. The view of the Queen Mary is stunning too.

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.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The property was nice and very close to the Long Beach Convention center. Basically, it only took 4-5 minutes to walk there from the dock. Additionally, there are several restaurants and a few shops in the immediate vicinity. The primary concerns were the number of homeless people surrounding the area and the somewhat limited parking for overnight accommodations. Overall, it was a memorable experience.

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.

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.

It was a great stay! Great place and overall a great experience. It was decently clean (found a empty beer can stashed in a cupboard… oops haha but that was all). The breakfast was a nice touch, nothing fancy, but nice!

Our host was delightful. She contacted us the day before to confirm the details and was right there when we arrived. As it turned out, we were booked on the yacht the night tropical storm Hilary made landfall in La Jolla. The yacht was secure, well tied to the dock, and we simply enjoyed safely riding out the storm in style. Our host provided us with an umbrella if we wanted to go ashore for meals and gave us extra snacks, soda, and water. I look forward to returning for a sunny weekend! P.S. The view of the Queen Mary is stunning too.

Received one basket of food day one. No more breakfast after. No maid even after request. The boat itself was nice to stay on.

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.

We were celebrating my sister's 43rd birthday and wanted something different instead of a basic hotel. This was beyond anything we expected!! She loved every minute of it as did we! From the view, to the customer service, so how beautiful and clean the yacht was, to how comfortable the beds were... We were thoroughly pleased and WILL be back soon... even if it's just for a staycation!

What a unique way to stay in Long Beach! Conveniently located near the convention center in Shoreline Village. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Off -site, but nearby parking. Quiet at night, private, and not too much movement. Cute and cozy boat included A/C, good continental breakfast items, smart tv with satellite, plus an assortment of DVDs and books on hand.
