So glad we did our staycation on this boat. It was fun to be in the heart of Gig Harbor during the Christmas season and be able to walk to our favorite places. Being December it was chilly, but the bedding was warm and cozy.

Suite Dreams was one of the most unique VRBO places we have stayed in. It was plenty large for the two of us and had all of the amenities that could be put on a classic small yacht. We will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay on the boat. Spent time reading, kayaking, sitting overlooking the harbor, and did a lot of walking. All the people at the harbor were so friendly. Slept peacefully and had sweet dreams.
Thank you

We looooooved our stay on Suite Dreams. The location was perfect for us and we spent much of our time relaxing on the boat watching the seals. The beds were comfortable, and we had plenty of room for the 3 of us.

This boat was the perfect place to unwind at the beginning of our vacation. The view of Mt Ranier from the sun deck couldn’t have been better. The beds are wonderfully comfortable.

My three sisters and I stayed on the Suite Dreams yacht for our annual sisters trip. We had a wonderful time! The boat was super clean, beds were comfy, and we liked that we could take longer hot showers in the marina house just steps away. We enjoyed a relaxing night on the sun deck and were greeted by both harbor seals and geese :). Absolutely beautiful town, can’t wait to come back. Our host was accommodating and we had great communication.

A couple hang ups but overall a great trip. Had a hard time getting in the dock because we were given the wrong code. No reply for a couple hours. The VRBO boat next to us were having a wedding Saturday night and had about 30 or more people onboard throughout the weekend. Very loud. Would have been nice to know but maybe it wasn't possible.
The black tank was half full when we arrived and filled the last night making it unbearable the following morning.
Other than that the boat is very nice. Great headroom, very spacious and well appointed.

On board Suite Dreams had everything we could wish for. And once we parked our car next to the marina we didn’t need to move it again during our stay, unless we wanted to, because we could just walk to great food and shopping and activities. Being right on the water, daytime or nighttime, is so special and beautiful. And if we needed anything the friendly staff is available in the nearby office.

It was a different experience for us. Once we got used to the steps taking us to different levels of the yacht, we enjoyed the experience. The view of Mt Ranier was outstanding.

This boat is amazing! Beautiful top to bottom! Host was quick to respond to questions & very pleasant to work with. The boat had all of the amenities that you would need. Great location, easy walk to shops & restaurants. None of the reviews mentioned safety and I wanted to bring that up. The marina is well lit with a code to get down to the dock. The boat fully locks at night with blinds to close so we felt very safe. Overall great experience, I would definitely stay there again. Thank you for the use of your beautiful boat, we had a great time!

I wanted a special place to visit with my grandkids. We played board games and the wifi was still good enough for their tablets so they didn't feel stranded. It even rained one day and they loved the weather being all around them! Thanks for a great visit!

The boat is clean and well stocked. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening wine on the sun deck even though it rained most of the time we were there. Sleeping in the cozy stateroom with the patter of rain was a special pleasure. We will do it again.
Thank you for your great hospitality .

Fun & unique waterfront getaway, perfect for two couples. Two very well appointed guest suites with multiple living areas for games, reading, or enjoying the views. The boat was comfortable, clean, and had everything one needed for a weekend away. The marina is an excellent location to walk to nearly everything Gig Harbor has to offer. We can’t wait to book another stay!!

It was the perfect place to celebrate hubby's 60th birthday! He loves boating, water, nature and we were blessed to some amazing weather on his birthday weekend. He loved sitting in the back deck with his cup of java watching the sunrise in the morning! The place was quiet, warm and relaxing. Everyone slept well and enjoyed the stay immensely! Will look forward to returning!

We enjoyed everything. The weather cleared for an evening view of the mountain the first night and the soft rain the second was just as nice. The beds and sitting areas were incredibly comfortable . Everything was clean and as promised. The town was friendly and welcoming with great food within a short walk.
