We enjoyed our stay on the boat for husband's birthday. We especially enjoyed sitting on the aft deck while taking in the wildlife, all sorts of marine craft, and view of Mt Rainier. Convenient location to shops and restaurants in Gig Harbor. We were relieved to see actual steps up to the boat rather than the ladder shown in the picture, but it still requires a certain level of physical ability to access the boat and the various levels within the boat. Nice shower facilities are available onshore if you prefer. Thanks to Cheryl and crew for quickly addressing an issue that came up. We can't wait to return!

This was so much fun! Glamping on the water, a super fun adventure. The boat was cozy yet spacious. Our favorite was sitting on the sun porch watching the water wildlife and other boats come and go. An unexpected sight was the authentic Italian gondola!! The bed was very comfortable. We slept so well each night. Didn’t mind a Navy shower. Would most definitely would stay again!

Perfect from the moment we arrived! First time staying on the water and yacht! Don’t know if I’ll ever use a hotel again! Suite Dreams had everything we needed or could want. Bedroom was fantastic - great linens etc. location was walkable to all the shops, restaurants and concert in the park. Cheryl (host) was awesome. Answered all of questions . Highly recommend it

we loved staying on the boat, it was surprisingly spacious. there were four areas to lounge, the dock, the back deck, the top deck and the living room area, which gave plenty of room for my husband, I and our 2 sixteen year-old daughters to enjoy our time. also, very beautiful area and fun to be in the marina.

My husband and I had a wonderful anniversary weekend on a gorgeous warm weekend on Suite Dreams. We were very impressed at all the details on the boat including the gift bag when we arrived. The wood in the boat is beautiful and we loved how peaceful it was to sleep right on the waterline under the windows in the staterooms. The boat is well appointed, and the best part was the covered stern area where we watched all the harbor activity: boats, seals, birds, all with the beautiful backdrop of Mt. Rainier. We had such a fabulous time exploring Gig Harbor which we were able to walk to easily. The boat is docked in a quiet spot but so close to everything at the same time. Thank you for making our anniversary special with this unique place to stay.

My book club gondola ride got canceled due to a coming in on sat but your yacht was very warm and cozy and now I can say I weathered a storm ate my ravioli and read my book on a yacht. Thank you for such a wonderful way to relax on a weekend I will definitely be coming back. You made it so easy to communicate and check in I felt very comfortable being by myself since my bestie got to sick to participate I will bring her back definitely

My husband and I wanted to do nothing on this trip and other times we have planned that we felt like we needed to get out and do something. Just sitting on the back of the boat watching the wildlife and boats was all we needed. Beds were more comfortable than I expected. We were right in the middle of everything so we just walked to pubs and restaurants to eat and then back to the boat to relax. Perfect weekend!

This is a very clean, comfortable and well equipped boat. The bedding was particularly comfy! From a hair dryer to kleenex to shampoo to cozy throw blankets - I was impressed with all the amenities. It was also really nice to be able to walk to restaurants and shops. Our weather was cold/rainy so we had to say inside with the heaters running most of the time but in nice weather the back deck/sitting area would have been fantastic. The boat was quiet (I imagine in nice weather there would have been a lot more going on on the dock in general) and stable. It's the first boat on ramp "B". (FYI This is definitely not for anyone with any mobility issues as there are steep steps everywhere.) It was a fun experience - I've not stayed on a boat before and am glad I did. Thank you! There are many places to book this rental including through the Gig Harbor Marina and Boatyard directly - I didn't realize that until after I'd booked so it's worth comparing prices.

So glad we did our staycation on this boat. It was fun to be in the heart of Gig Harbor during the Christmas season and be able to walk to our favorite places. Being December it was chilly, but the bedding was warm and cozy.

Suite Dreams was one of the most unique VRBO places we have stayed in. It was plenty large for the two of us and had all of the amenities that could be put on a classic small yacht. We will definitely be back.

My three sisters and I stayed on the Suite Dreams yacht for our annual sisters trip. We had a wonderful time! The boat was super clean, beds were comfy, and we liked that we could take longer hot showers in the marina house just steps away. We enjoyed a relaxing night on the sun deck and were greeted by both harbor seals and geese :). Absolutely beautiful town, can’t wait to come back. Our host was accommodating and we had great communication.

A couple hang ups but overall a great trip. Had a hard time getting in the dock because we were given the wrong code. No reply for a couple hours. The VRBO boat next to us were having a wedding Saturday night and had about 30 or more people onboard throughout the weekend. Very loud. Would have been nice to know but maybe it wasn't possible. The black tank was half full when we arrived and filled the last night making it unbearable the following morning. Other than that the boat is very nice. Great headroom, very spacious and well appointed.

On board Suite Dreams had everything we could wish for. And once we parked our car next to the marina we didn’t need to move it again during our stay, unless we wanted to, because we could just walk to great food and shopping and activities. Being right on the water, daytime or nighttime, is so special and beautiful. And if we needed anything the friendly staff is available in the nearby office.
