Everything was great. We were greeted, provided instructions on the boat, and felt very welcome. The boat and dock was private and quiet at night. We attended a conference at the Long Beach Convention Center, which was a quick walk away. Restaurants were abundant and easily visited on foot. We felt safe and comfortable.
Perfect view from the yacht, clean and comfy stay.

Me and my party really enjoyed the dockside. Bed and boat has lots of room. The beds are very comfortable. The staff was really accommodating letting us drop off our luggage. We’re there for the country coastal jam and check in time was at two but the concert started at 12 so we were able to drop off our luggage, get the keys, and still make it to the concert on time so that was really good thank you .

Was an amazing stay although there were a few issues the boat kinda had body odor stinch inside. All so the guest room air conditioner stayed cooler then the main room because the AC didnt work inside of main cabin.

The owners are amazing and accommodating!! I am from Maine so won’t be back any time soon, however… I totally recommend it for a date night .. if you are living locally
A little upsetting having to pay an extra $56 make sure you get the correct one when booking since I had my two boys other than that everything was perfect.
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.
Second time we do this. Very nice experience with my family!

Spent a night for my birthday after a nice dinner & had a blast!! We checked in with Kent & he was very welcoming & helpful. He made our stay comfortable & relaxing. We stayed on Serenity & the boat had all the amenities along with a beautiful view of the water & Shoreline Village. Just steps away from the fun things to do! I will definately stay again & recommend to all my friends/family!
We really enjoyed staying here. Great location and the boat was awesome. Definitely will go back again.

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.
