A Slice of Paradise in Boston!

The Green Turtle was everything we expected and more. The Inn was easy to find by car and would be very easy by water taxi from the airport. Our room was luxuriously comfortable and we slept like babies with the boat rocking us to sleep each night. Other than the sound of the ocean the boat was very quiet with no city noise even though the city was just across the harbour. We were brought a great breakfast each morning. The Inn is within walking distance of the ferry, bus route, tours and the North End. We will definitely return for many visits to come.

Wundervolle Tage in Boston

Die Greenturtle Pension in Boston ist ein wundervolles Hausboot mit 2 seperaten Wohnungen und Blick auf Downtown Boston. Karen und Jon sind hervorragende Gastgeber, die ein abwechslungsreiches Frühstück servieren und im Laufe des Tages die Wohnung wieder auf Vordermann bringen. Sie geben einem immer hilfreiche Tipps, wenn man welche will. Die Wohnung war genau wie besschrieben und sehr sauber. Es gibt mehrere Möglichkeiten um ins Zentrum von Boston zu gelangen. Entweder zu Fuß (ca 20 min), per Boot ($1,70) oder per kostenlosem Shuttlebus. Falls wir aus Deutschland wieder mal nach Boston kommen werden wir auf jeden Fall bei Karen und Jon wohnen und es auch jedem unserer Freunde empfehlen.

This place was an absolute gem and turned out to be the unexpected highlight of our trip to the States ,so much so that my husband was very reluctant to leave!! The suites are beautifully and thoughtfully furnished right down to those little extras like snacks for your afternoon drink on the pier. Karen and Jon were such delightful hosts who catered for your every need and made our stay so special. We have recommended the Green Turtle to so many people back here in Australia and to those we met on our trip. Not to be missed! Cushla and Ian

Wow, this place is amazing, we stayed 5 nights, June 11th - 16th 2010. The innkeepers ensure your holiday expectations are met and totally exceeded. The decor, the brilliant breakfasts, the house boat itself are outstanding. The bed was so comfy, in fact imagine being gently rocked to sleep, how better can it get. Ideal location to get everywhere in Boston. Can also recommend the super duck upper deck trolley, shows all the points of interest. We will most certainly return!

Great getaway & unique perspective on Boston

We live in Boston proper but were looking for a change pf scenery without too much travel hassle. Someone in the office suggested the Green Turtle B&B and it fit the bill perfectly. The weather was gorgeous, we sat out on the floating dock and fell asleep in the sun and to the gentle lull of the water. The room itself is simple and perfect. High quality linens, coffee, and simple breakfast of an egg/bacon sandwich. We slept like babies and loved interacting with the community of full-time boaters. Highly recommend this as a getaway - even if you live in Boston. You will love the view of Boston and feel like you went away.

We arrived at the pier and Jon greeted us, explained how everything worked and Karen greeted us on the boat house and explained transportation into Boston, very easy we took the ferry which cost us $1.70 each way what a deal to get into Boston. My husband spent his 40th B-Day and it's one he will not forget. B&B was everything and more, it was a wonderful way to go to sleep and a beautiful way to wake up. The view of Boston from the Boat was spectacular and the location was perfect. The B&B was very clean and quiet everything you would need and want was there. The boat was far enough but yet very close to all of Boston's activities and restaurants. We are looking forward to sharing another 40 birthdays there.....

Picky Guest's Favorite Boston Retreat

I stayed at the Green Turtle for a total of several weeks spread out over December - March. The inn is charming and lovely and located in an incredibly peaceful, relaxing setting only a short boat or bus ride, or walk, from downtown Boston, the skyline of which sits impressively across the harbor. The rooms are well-appointed, efficiently laid out and infinitely comfortable, reflecting the innkeepers' impressive attention to detail and general warmth and thoughtfulness. Everything one could possibly need is provided: from the strong shower and luxurious bed to the wine glasses and cheese board. The included wireless service is a particularly welcome touch. The Green Turtle is a gem - close to the action if you want it, but providing a cozy, private retreat if you need a break from it all.

Even though we live 20 miles north of Boston our stay at the Green Turtle was just what the Doctor ordered. Beautiful views and a wonderful walk last night to the North End was heavenly. Perfect weather for January was an extra bonus. The hospitality made our stay bring out the comforts of home. Everything from the snacks, comfortable bed, coffee on the dock and being cradled in a house on water was to put simply "very relaxing". We just loved our stay

Where do we start?? What a fantastic way to start a holiday. The Green Turtle was everything it promised to be - and more! We enjoyed every moment of our stay there, from arriving in a water taxi from the airport to leaving with a fond farewell from Karen. The Green Turtle was beautifully laid out and soooooooo very comfortable (in fact the most comfortable bed we've ever slept in). The attention to detail was first class. The location of the houseboat was also first class. Karen (a tremendous hostess) and the 'neighbours' couldn't have been nicer or more friendly - even lending us their GPS having only known us for a very short time - it was difficult to drag ourselves away. Those breakfasts that were favourably reviewed lived up to their reputation - scrumptious!! The location was fantastic, easy to use the ferry into downtown Boston which was incredible and so very much more. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the Green Turtle to anyone, we will remember it fondly - forever! An ideal way to celebrate an way to celebrate a very speical occasion. Given the opportunity - we'll be back!!!!!!!
