The boat is perfect. I booked the houseboat for my father and I. Just a little weekend fun trip. It’s close to everything. Beds are comfortable and very quiet at night. Would definitely stay again!
5.0
My kids, husband and I loved staying here. The boat was very clean and comfortable, plenty of space for the 4 of us. The location can’t be beat. Sitting on the top deck in the evening was lovely. The Badger Island Marina staff are beyond friendly and wonderful. We loved every single thing about our stay.
5.0
The boat was fully equipped with everything that is needed for a weekend event. Loved the area for our first time house boat experience.
We had a problem with the electricity and heat which required us to reach out to the emergency text number that was provided. No one got back to us so the night and morning was a bit chilly.
The overall experience, we will return!!

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at the Reef. The houseboat was amazing; it was clean, spacious and well furnished. The time spent on the top deck was splendid. The location is perfect being close to both Kittery and Portsmouth. We are already talking about our next stay in the future.

Wonderful experience on The Reef! Location was amazing, houseboat was beyond my expectations, gorgeous views, exceptionally clean, and great communication with property manager. Only negative was that our two night stay was too short! Will most definitely be back. A++++

We had perfect week visiting Portsmouth NH. and Kittery Me. Great restaurants, all the very nice shops with all types ot merchandise. We also visited some local historical attractions.

Clean, updated and had everything one needs for a week away. The location was in easy walking distance to Pourtsmouth and the marina was lovely. I was not excited that my husband booked this boat but I was pleasantly surprised. I expected it would be a step above camping but it was better than many hotels and had plenty of hot water for a nice shower. The views of the passing boats and downtown Portsmouth were just awesome. Hope to be back again one day.

Great time on The Reef houseboat. This was our 5th time on The Reef and will definitely be back again.
5.0
The Reef houseboat is a really special experience. Perfectly situated with stunning views of Portsmouth and the Piscataqua river. Spotlessly, clean, very comfortably appointed (good bed linens!), and enhanced by the gentle rocking of the tidal current and the lovely deck above. The only snag was that the living room was described as having a pull out sofa, which it does not. Two beds were very comfortable, and an excellent shower given that it’s a boat! We look forward to a chance to stay again.
5.0
Such a wonderful cool and unique experience! We love the ocean and the boat provides all the accommodations you would expect and then some! The roof deck overlooking Portsmouth is amazing with 360 views! We’ll be back! Thanks!

This was a girls trip for myself and a friend. It was an accurate listing. We had a blast. I would recommend this property.

The Reef is exactly as advertised. My wife was nervous that she was going to be sea sick, that was never an issue. We had morning coffee and evening wine up on the observation deck, it was wonderful. Portsmouth, a short pleasant walk over the bridge, was a beautiful fun place to hang out, have a drink, eat amazing food and walk around. I highly recommend the Reef!

Very clean houseboat and very responsive owners (we called because we couldn't figure out the TV and I received an email back right away and the problem was solved!)
Beautiful getaway and Portsmouth nearby (walking) was amazing!!! Looking forward to another trip to "The Reef!"

First stay on a boat
Property was clean, in excellent condition. Neighboring town was fun to walk. Nearby coast line was beautiful. Current in the river looked ferocious. Keep life jackets on the kiddo’s

Wonderful stay!
One of the best rental experiences we’ve had. It was the first time we’d been to the area and none of us had ever stayed on a houseboat before. The Reef was spotless; comfortable; Suzanne was wonderful to work with. Unfortunately, not all of our party was able to stay. Unknown to us, one of our party suffers from seasickness. Those of us that did stay had a wonderful experience!

The Reef
3rd time staying at the Reef with friends love it. Love the top deck. Did Prefer the placement of the boat last year,but it will not prevent us from coming back.

Great location and a fantastic experience
Suzanne was great at answering questions before we booked and I'm sure would've been during our stay but we just didn't have any! Clear info about parking and procedures was provided before we arrived. The Reef was super clean with all the necessities easily accessible, comfortable seating & sleeping for all. A quick walk into Portsmouth without the hassle of parking (or Uber) really made the vacation for us! We also enjoyed watching the bridge operate from the top deck. Brilliant rental. We will return!

Great option and super close to Portsmouth
We stayed in the house boat as an option when hotels were overpriced for graduation weekend. Marina was clean and quiet. House boat was clean and spacious. Roof top deck was a great option for space and spending time with the graduates.
Communication with owner was great. It was a super short walk to all that Portsmouth has to offer.
5.0
A great way to celebrate our 30th anniversary!
It was wonderful being on the water after being out of boating for over 10 years. The Reef is just what we needed. Very comfortable arrangements, super location and great friends made our anniversary spectacular! BTW Darren, Kevin and crew were awesome! Thank you!

When can we do this again?
Our first and last thoughts were "when can we rent this again?" We had such a great stay. The dock master was very helpful in showing us around, and giving us local tips. Once we parked the car, we walked everywhere we wanted to go. Our first experience on a house boat, and had all of the amenities of home. I would say this boat is for couples only. anything more, and it will feel crowded.

The Reef is perfect
We couldn't have had a better experience with this rental. The location is perfect to Portsmouth and Kittery. Very quiet and peaceful and right on the river. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Get Away
