Great stay! Quaint houseboat. Our flights were delayed so we had to be met VERY late - host and staff are amazing.
4.7
Location was great - Walking distance to so many places and things to do. Great to literally be on the water for three days and two nights. Houseboat itself was a little weathered, in need of a little maintenance and not as clean as it could have been. Great communication/instructions and guidance from property manager. Relaxing time. Location, location, location.

The houseboat was clean, well maintained, and convenient
We loved staying in the harbor. Sooo much more fun than staying in a hotel!!

The boat was small but very well appointed for our family. It was wonderful going to sleep and waking up on the water. Our boys loved the novelty! I only wish that our stay had been longer so that we could have explored around by foot more.

Me and a friend so enjoyed our stay. Rocked to sleep in comfy bed and pull out sofa. Only hiccup is that there are no late check ins. That is stated in other rules.

A friend once told be she wanted to live on a houseboat. She was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness and I knew I had to get her to a houseboat for an adventure. After I a little research I found this property and knew it was just what she needed. It’s a beautiful location with amazing access to local attractions and fabulous dining. We signed up for parking right at the marina and Uber’d to dinner. There is a Whole Foods not too far from the boat with great parking. The biast was peaceful and relaxing with the gentle rocking. This was definitely a great choice and we enjoyed every minute. I would highly recommend this experience.

It was a super relaxing few days aboard this adorable boat house. Each night we were rocked to sleep. Enjoyed the peace and tranquility. An experience I will always remember with a smile.

This houseboat was perfect for a few days stay in Boston. We loved being on the water and exploring the Charlestown area. The location was convenient - just a couple blocks walk and we were on the Freedom Trail.

A very nice setting and houseboat for a few days in Boston. Well located, and has great access to the city. Stay here for a unique adventure in Boston!

This place works out great if your touring downtown Boston

Just as advertised, and very comfortable. Wonderful communication with the owner and especially Sherrie, who manages the check-in process. She changed her schedule around to support our arrival and was very informative about everything. I highly recommend this house-boat.

Wanted to try something different than a regular hotel room and this was it! Short walk to Freedom Trail and Hop on Hop off tour stop for USS Constitution. Seeing the city skyline at night - watching the sunset - and it is in a secure gated area - all great perks! The greeter/check in person was very friendly and the host/hostess easy to communicate with!

This was SUCH a fun alternative to just staying in a hotel! I would 100% recommend this place! Great location to settle and just Uber anywhere!
4.7
Waking in comfort on the water and sitting on your deck of choice to welcome the sun was such a pleasant way to visit Boston. A quick walk brings you on a walk along the waterfront and the “T” ferry is a pleasant way to cross the harbor to the Aquarium/ Fanieul Hall area.
Check in and coordination were beyond wonderful. Highly recommend.

We’ve been avid road warriors for years pulling a pop-up camper to many state parks and more. This was an upgrade with kitchen, bath, shower, full fridge, bed and sofa bed -more like a full-sized RV camping vehicle. Only wish we could have stayed longer and seen more of Boston witho these unique accommodations. LOVED it!
4.7
Was a great escape from the city. Very clean and comfortable. Friendly marina,made friends on the dock, we had a wonderful stay! Restaurant and bar on the water within walking distance.
4.7
The location is great as being on the water gives it a quiet "away from it all" feel, yet it is walking distance or a short Uber ride to almost everything Boston has to offer. We didn't do much cooking (other than brewing coffee and heating up leftovers) but for a small boat the kitchen area is very workable.
The owners arranged a "greeter" to be there when we arrived to help make sure we knew all the ins/outs of staying on a boat.
We really enjoyed having two outside sitting areas - one for sunrise, and the other for sunset. It was a plus to be able to watch a lightening storm while we were there, yet still felt very safe - just a bit more rocking us to sleep that night.

Awesome!

One of the most unique places we have stayed. Easy walking to nearby attractions. The boat has all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The bot rocks you to sleep at night, we slept like babies!!! Morning coffee on the deck with the geese and ducks. Marina parking was very convenient and well worth the price.
4.7
Check in process was *terrible* as I was checked in to the WRONG place, it turned out. Then just as I was starting to unpack and settle in - the correct people arrived - and I had to grab all my things and move to another houseboat. The area was absolutely beautiful- and would probably be very fun if things had been smoother. The only other specific negative comment was that the weather really changed during the days I was there, and on the last night I was FREEZING all night. I had the heaters cranked as high as they would go - but the small baseboard heaters only worked in the bathroom, and the "living" room.... I was in the bed - with all the thin blankets in the place piled over me, plus socks & a hat.
One other thing - the bigger houseboat I was placed in at first - had coffee & a coffee maker - the one I was moved to had no tea or coffee - just a water kettle and a microwave - so I had to go buy instant coffee.

We loved our stay. The marina was quiet and safe and the houseboat was adorable.
4.7
Although we really enjoyed our stay, the amenities were below standards of what I've experienced in the past.
The towels were old and dingy. The parking fob I paid for didn't work, and wasn't replaced.

Perfect weekend ! Will most definitely be back .

We have a wonderful stay on our trip to Boston. We were welcomed with open arms by Sherry and slept in comfort in a very clean boat. This was such a fun experience!

We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed living on a houseboat for a few days! We never stayed on a boat before and it didn’t disappoint.

Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice quiet and secure stay on the water. The houseboat was clean, cozy, and had all the amenities while vacationing. The hosts are available and respond quickly if needed. The view of the city at night from the dock is stellar!!

Loved staying in the marina on the water. It was a great location and memorable experience. Amazing restaurants are close by and the north side is just a short walk away. Would definitely recommend to others!

My husband and I enjoyed our boat stay. Great sleeping being rocked by the water

Great Experience
This was by far the best way to see Boston. The boat was perfect, it was clean and had everything we needed. We just brought clothes, personal toiletries, snacks and drinks! It was close to most things and if not, Uber (the weekend was about $75 in Uber fees). It was a too hot to walk, about 98+ degrees. The boat lulled you to sleep after a long day of exploring Boston. Definitely would recommend any of their boats!

Weekend getaway
My wife and I celebrated our anniversary weekend in Boston and decided to stay on this houseboat instead of a hotel. What a great choice!! The houseboat is just like it is in the pictures. There were absolutely no issues with our stay. The check in process was seamless and communication with the owner was excellent! The views are stunning and everything is right there! We would definitely stay again!!

Short but FUN Stay in Boston
This was definitely a fun alternative to a hotel. We loved the marina and walking around. You could see the cityscape from the harbor. The boat was impeccably clean and much more spacious than I thought it would be. We were a family of 4 - 2 adults, 14 year old and a 12 year old. Communication was quick and it was easy to get in touch with Deborah. Our only regret was that our visit was too short!
