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!

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

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.

Was looking for a unique lodging experience with my 10 year old son, and this was a winner! Very peaceful and comfortable with a stunning view. Communication with Kent was great. Wished we could have stayed longer.

We had a wonderful experience staying on a mini yacht. The accommodations were comfortable and much larger than expected. The sunset views were absolutely breath taking. There are numerous restaurants, places to shop, and entertainment choices including the Aquarium within walking distance. We will definitely stay again!

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.

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.

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

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.

Love this place. I was cautious at first as I have never rented here for my husband's birthday. It was serene very romantic and no one bothered us. I would highly recommend this if your looking for a quick romantic getaway. My husband was surprised completely and loved it. The ned was really comfortable as well. The only downfall is the shower is in where the toilet is so tight spot. We only stayed overnight so did not shower but, the water is warm and over i give it a 10.

Kent was a friendly and attentive host. At the same time, he allowed us the privacy we wanted. The location is the best possible spot in Long Beach. The boat was very comfortable and a big hit with a couple of clients we invited aboard. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed the stay and our overall experience. We'll definitely be back!

DON'T PASS THIS UP!!!! Our stay at Dockside was the best thing we've ever done for an overnight trip. What an AMAZING experience. Kent, the owner, was so helpful and accommodating. The boat was clean, beautiful, stocked...everything you can possibly want from a hotel. Perfect view of the Queen Mary. We can't wait to go back.

Everything about our overnight stay was amazing! I normally get high anxiety staying in new places but everything from the greeting to the mini-tour was so comforting and welcoming that I felt right at home. We are definitely considering doing another stay!!
