Cozy good vibes boat experience in Marina Del Rey. Perfect location in safe area

This is a very cozy and comfortable sailboat ⛵️ in Marina Del Rey. The area is safe with security roaming the area. Close to Venice beach. Perfect for a couple, the boat is a great vibe with everything you need. Boat really comes to life at night with all the lighting. Showers and bathrooms on premises. The boat is equipped with a Mini fridge, mini freezer, Gas and electric cooktops, coffee pot, blender and a water kettle. Boat has a heater that keeps the boat super warm wile having great airflow throughout the boat. You will love being part of the sea life here specially seeing our neighbors the sea lions. This is fun experience sleeping in the water and seeing all the stars from the bedroom. Keep in mind this is not a 5 star hotel but has everythingyou need to have a great time. Paddle boarding, kayaking and any other water sports are available in the area. Great cafes and restaurants walking distance from the boat. Please don’t rent if you are older as it can be a challenge getting in and out of a sailboat ⛵️. I will be of service so you can have a great experience in the area. Please don’t hesitate to ask! Thank you for looking.

We had an awesome stay! The boat was exactly as described. If you love boats, you’ll definitely enjoy staying here. We slept great and really wished we could’ve stayed another night. Sitting outside under the stars was so peaceful.Estavan was an amazing host, super kind and patient (I was a bit of a dingbat trying to figure out where to meet for check-in).The marina’s in a great spot, close to beaches, shops, and restaurants. We didn’t walk anywhere this time, but there are definitely some places nearby if you want to explore.We’re already planning to come back and stay a few extra days next time!

The location of this boat simply can’t be beat! Bear in mind, you are essentially camping. Running water is a water dispenser by a sink, and no toilet facilities on the boat. If you’re someone who needs to get up during the night, you’ve going to want to improvise some other solution rather than getting off the boat, up the deck and into the bathroom facility in the middle of the night.The host is a good guy, responsive to questions. Be sure to get clear instructions on the location of the lockbox, it was tricky to find in the dark.

Peaceful, fun, safe, quality time. Estevan is a sweet, laid back, friendly, helpful host totally available and genuinely cares that you are having a good time. You must understand that you are doing a little bit of camping. The bathroom is clean and safe and totally adequate and it is up the dock not in the boat. Embrace the moonlight walk and enjoy the serene marina. Listen to Sea Lions and watch Osprey and meet other nice people (or maybe you will have the whole dock to yourself) We fished off the dock for fun. We could have grilled off the back of the sailboat. We enjoyed candlelight at night and early morning kayakers (you can rent close by and enjoy that yourself). The area doesn’t have much you can easily walk to. Parking is free and easy. It is lovely.

Very cool but prepare for primitive

Let me start by saying that I loved my stay. The boat is cozy and comfortable but you need to brace yourself for some quirks:1. No bathroom on the boat. For restroom or shower, walk around 100 yards.2. The bathrooms that are available are in disrepair. They were mostly clean but were in need of plumbing repair. There seems to be construction going on to improve this, hopefully it'll be good by the time you rent.3. The checkin process (getting keys and such) is slightly convoluted.4. You really are going to wake up to the sound of sea lions in the morning.

Friendly and cozy

Owner was great! Easy communication, met us in person, even though we were running super late. Adorable set-up, my girls loved it! Fun for someone looking for something a bit different and adventurous. Being able to look up and see stars from your bed gave a “glamping” feel to the experience. So fun. We would definitely do it again. Important to note that bathroom is located on dock- but we didn’t mind. :)

Welp, if you haven’t stayed on a boat before it’s an incredible experience. However this boat needs to be cleaned up and organized. Shelves and curtains falling apart. Toilet leaking?? Bathroom is a long walk with a dingy shower. I really want to support the host but expect more at these prices.
