Loved it! Unusual place to stay but it sure beat a traditional hotel. We stayed only 1 night because we were there to board a cruise the next day. Staff was very pleasant and gave us all kinds of options for what to do while we were there. I'll be back!
My stay at Dockside Boat and Bed aboard the CA SEA TA was absolutely amazing! The boat was spotless, comfortable, and had everything I needed to relax and enjoy the beautiful marina views. It was such a unique and peaceful experience waking up on the water.
A special thank you to Kent, who was incredibly attentive and made sure everything during my stay went smoothly. His hospitality and attention to detail really made the experience even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend Dockside Boat and Bed for anyone looking for a memorable getaway — I can’t wait to come back!
Great stay for someone who has wants to stay on a boat. Honestly out boat was larger than most hotel rooms. Lots of stuff to do wothin walming distance. It would have been 5 stars if parking was easier. If you use a ride service then its a 5 star. I would 100% consider going back. Also staff was super helpful and easy to work with.

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.

Everything about my stay was incredible. The property manager is extremely attentive and communicative. The area was peaceful. The location was ideal for shopping, restaurants, and local things to do. The yacht was immaculately cleaned, and I slept so well. The only downside was having to leave!
Very nice spot to stay. We were firstimers and it was great. Shower was a bit small and the room air wasnt working, but besides that it was a great spot to stay
We loved our stay! It was so much fun to be on the boat. The beds were comfy and very clean. Being out on the water was a treat! We walked to dinner and walked back feeling safe. Would absolutely stay again!

I came across this by accident and I am so glad I did! We will do this again. Everyone we told thought this was such a great idea and it was!
Dockside Bed and Boat was a great alternative to an average hotel stay. The staff was accommodating and helpful during our stay. Will definitely return for a future stay.
I loved everything about the boat, very spacious and clean! Im coming back!

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.
Customer service was amazing; very accomodating and professional. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

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.
