We had a great time on the Perfect Landing ~ everything was clean and neat. Beautiful weather. We parked in the PF Chang's parking lot for $24 over night as it was closer to the dock. Upon arriving to our car the next morning, it had been broken into and personal items taken - nothing of great value as we know better. The thugs apparently tried to steal our SUV and pulled the wires out from under the drivers dash area. The lock was messed up and it will cost $495 to fix. When I approached the "valet" area who took my money and gave me the parking pass the day before, I was told "not our problem" when I asked if this happens frequently, was told "ya, sometimes". I mentioned that I should have been told this and there were no signs to notify me "park at your own risk" as I would not have parked there. I was treated awful by the parking people - which are NOT associated with Dockside Boat and Bed. Our beef is with the parking dummies and how they treat people. I demanded our $24 back and got it. Beware of the parking situation and don't leave ANYTHING in your car - take the registration also so the crooks don't have your name and address. It put a damper on the weekend having our car damaged and the creepy feeling of someone going through your car. There is video but the parking dummie said it's used for "court purposes only" - what??? If I had know that, there is NO way I would have parked there. I called the managment at Dockside Boat/Bed and they were surprised to hear as they have never had a problem and said they would speak to the parking people about how we were treated. Any way, boat was nice and relaxing. Bring snacks and drinks with you. Oh ya - the mattress in the masterbed room is so hard - like a piece of rock with a sheet on it, so if your use to a softer bed - this is not the one for you.

We went for my husbands birthday, one night during the week. We stayed on the Obla de Obla da. I would suggest going on a weekday if you can, as it was very peaceful and quiet. The water was calm so the boat didn't rock very much. The boat was very nice, and we enjoyed sitting on the front deck of it, sunbathing and reading our books. We lucked out with perfect weather! There are 2 bathrooms, but they are small. Taking a shower is not a problem, but it would be tough to get ready, put make-up on, etc. The bed is tiny as well, and not comfortable. I had a kink in my neck for a week after. I would suggest bringing your own pillow. It would be very difficult to cook on the boat, so bring some already prepared snacks if you want to eat on your boat and enjoy the views. There are tons of great restaurants in the area, and things to do. You will not need your car once you arrive. The breakfast was delivered the night before since we were there on a weekday. It was good (yogurt, muffins, bagels, orange juice). I think this is the only boat with air conditioning and satellite tv. We were so glad to have both.

Definitely not your typical hotel. We stayed on a large boat with another couple from our family. We each had our own sleeping "quarters" and our own very small bathroom. The amenities were a bit sparse, but it was fun to have our own boat for the day. We ate a few meals on the back of the boat in our dining room overlooking the water. Lots of steps and ladders to get around in the boat, so would not be for everyone. It's right in the middle of the touristy part of Long Beach, near several restaurants and shops. It was a bit noisy on a weekend night with the windows open and the noise from a nearby nightclub.

If you're looking for something a little different, try these floating hotel rooms. We love this place not only for the fun boat accommodations, but the location at the Shoreline Village in Long Beach. Nice restaurants like PF Changs, Gladstones, Yard House and several others are within walking distance. A yummy continental breakfast basket is delivered to you in the am. We can't wait to go back.
