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.

Thank you for your stay and review. We do appreciate your feedback. The City of Long Beach is constantly providing outreach for the un-housed in the downtown area. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon!

Love love love this place! Management was accommodating and nice also informative on arrival . The location is next to literally everything. We didn't have to uber anywhere . We walked to eat and to the mall to shop. Stayed here a night before our cruise and the terminal is not far at all. Highly recommend and would stay again!

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.

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!

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.

Thank you for your review and stay. We are glad you enjoyed your stay aboard the Caseata. We again apologize for the Greenpeace vessel that is visiting our harbor. It is a public pier that the City of Long Beach rents out to larger boats that cannot be accommodated elsewhere, and we have no control of that dock. A boat that big is a rare occurrence in Rainbow Harbor. We hope to welcome you aboard again!

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.
