We loved the boat but it was a little dirty.
Then the power went out nothing you can do about that. It was a city issue, we left when we woke up from it being hot in our state room.
There was a hard bagel and old popcorn bag that didn’t pop just burnt .
We had a good time.

Not sure if we will be back.

Dockside was an absolute gem in the best location. The amenities were great, the staff was incredibly helpful and attentive, and the property and yacht we stayed on was incredible. Truly a 5* experience and we will absolutely be staying here as often as we can when we're in Long Beach.

The perfect trip! We stayed in LB as we needed to be close to Redondo Beach as well as the OC. Dockside was the perfect location. This was a short trip for my daughter’s wedding, but we are already making plans to come back.

Everything about Dockside was on point. They accommodated our late check in, the place was immaculate and you can easily walk to the Long Beach hot spots. To top it off, I opened my mailbox today and found a photo we accidentally left onboard. They mailed it to us! Highly recommend.

Booked this to go to the Apocalypse Zombieland festival on the Queen Mary because it was the closest to the venue. I had a great time with my partner, everything was really nice and relaxing. I really enjoyed the sway of the boat, when i’m at home I usually put on a boat ambience to sleep so it was just like being at home + the added water moving us. You gotta be careful with the toilet as you can only use the 1 ply they provide and don’t flush any wipes. I followed this but lowkey clogged the toilet before leaving after emptying my stomach of the festival food. A little tmi but other than that it was a really great time :)

I really enjoyed my stay on the Serenity. It was a unique experience and convenient to nearly everything in Long Beach, though I was mostly at the Convention Center. The view was lovely—sunrise on the starboard side, sunset on the port side. The welcoming coffee, orange juice, and other food accoutrements were welcome. I enjoyed breakfast on the aft deck every morning and usually a little relaxing in the evening with a nightly visit from a night heron who was good company but a poor conversationalist.

The A/C worked well for unseasonably warm weather, though late afternoons could require some real cranking of the units to be comfortable after a day of relentless California sun. Warmer months may strain the A/C a bit.

The bunk was comfortable and has a TV in there, if you are that kind of sleeper.

Communication was excellent with management even when I needed to add an extra night and even when I lost my wallet. Very responsive, kind, and helpful.

Be warned that the head and shower are in one stall, which is common on boats. This mostly was easily managed, but some may find it inconvenient.

In short, I recommend the experience and would do it again when I return.

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.

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.

It was just downright beautiful, relaxing great experience plenty of restaurants and there’s an outlet center.

The area was loud. One night there was very loud music that woke us up several times, but the mgr would not refund our money for the next two nights. The Serenity is close to the convention center, but it's not a great place to stay for work. There is nowhere to hang clothes and it's a very cramped space (I realize that boats are not spacious).The 2nd bedroom was like a closet with a bed tucked into a narrow space. The toilet is literally in the shower. You have to dry off the toilet after each shower and step into a wet area to use the toilet. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, some of the sitting areas were nice (one had mold stains), the harbor is nice, and the mgr brought food for two people when we requested it (up front would have been better). It's a good price for the area if you are physically capable of lots of stairs and steps, don't mind showering with a toilet, and don't get motion sickness.

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.

Just a little CaSEAta...

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.

Convenient, cramped and worth the change of pace

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.

Great alternative for convention center stays!

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.
