Amazing views and Sherri, the host, was amazing and responded immediately to any questions. Even through a rain storm, the boat stayed plenty warm and didn't rock too much. Very fun and unique stay.

The parking was inside of a gate that you had to have a fob to open. We felt very safe and it was right at the marina.

Charleston Marina

We enjoyed our stay on the Little Pearl. The marina was quiet and clean and relaxing. The boat had everything we needed. Close to the Constitution, MBTA Ferry and the North End.

What a great stay

We only stayed 2 nights but it was so conveniently located. Within walking distance to all our needs and not far from attractions. Didn't have to take the car anywhere. This was my first time using VRBO and all my questions were answered by the property owners including advice requests. Overall great experience

Had never been on a boat before but it was really fun! Enjoyed getting rocked to sleep at night. Be aware the inside is small like an RV. The property manager Sherry was great! Highly recommend!

Mike & Deborah Newell from Texas

The best weekend getaway! First time to Boston. Little Pearl was so perfect. We loved our morning coffee on the deck & walking to see the big yachts. We walked The Freedom Trail, Ubered from the Airport and to Fenway Park. Ate at many Italian restaurants in the North End. Everything was perfect! Sherry was a wealth of information! Don’t stay in a hotel!

Amazing Experience

Our stay on the Little Pearl was wonderful. It was a very quick walk to the USS Constitution and Bunker Hill, which put us right on the Freedom Trail. We chose not to rent a car and we were able to get around just fine using public transit and LYFT. There's a Dunkin' and a 7-Eleven a short walk away to grab quick and easy breakfasts to take back to the boat and enjoy on the deck. We did not use the kitchen area at all, so I cannot speak to that. I was surprised at the roominess of the shower on board and the water gets HOT!! Nights were a little chilly, but there were plenty of blankets to cuddle up. Deb was very communicative prior to our arrival and check-in was a breeze with her assistant. We were lucky enough to be able to go straight to the boat when we got off our train from NY so we could drop our bags before finding a place in Charlestown for lunch.

Superb !!!

Little Pearl is an absolute gem. I stayed aboard her 3 weeks; bed is super comfy, georgous linens, towels plentiful, the top deck view just lovely. the maintenance or problem solving (if you happen to need assistance) is superbly and amazingly quick; Deb the owner has great communication and super check in notes too; the Location just fab; pier 6 beautiful bar & restaurant around the corner and the fab ferry from just beyond your marina takes you to North End for a super cheap 3.75 where you can get the subway directly from there too; tatte cafe in Charlestown, a beautiful walk along the piers and boat museum is great; also a cafe 5 mins away on the pier too; l was a lady alone for a lot of my stay; the marina is so secure due to expensive other boats there! people living aboard around you, I felt super at home and safe I also found it great to work from inside; great table with comfy built in seating good for computer work or dining with great options for lighting. We slept two super comfy; air con and heating fab. Washing machines etc all available too - Thank you for such an amazing stay!!

Awful experience!!!

The boat had water damage. The cable did not work. This was our first time on a boat and my wife legs could not take getting on and off the boat. Also the motion sickness from the water kept her sick. I tried to notify the owner and ask if there was anyway we could complete one night and receive a refund for the remainder of the time booked for the boat. I was basically told to take her to the doctor, suck it up, and complete the trip. My wife kept getting sicker so we ultimately had to leave early and forfeit the remainder of our monet. This is so unprofessional. Definitely do not rent from this owner!!!

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Oct 2022
I do feel bad that this guests wife experienced motion sickness during their visit. I am very sympathetic as I am very sensitive to motion myself, I cannot be on these boats myself unless medicated. In our information we send prior to your visit we do send information about using over the counter motion sickness medication. We expect our guests to take precautions and know their own limits when they book our home. I do not think it is reasonable to lose income for our business because someone who knows they or their family are prone to motion sickness books my home. There is no water damage to the boat or issues with the cable. I went back through all my communications with the guest, and she never mentions an issue with either item to me. We did have an issue with the cable box, and we swapped it out with the provider because the guest after this one notified us of an issue. We provide a set of directions for the tv's and how to switch from cable to streaming services onboard. If you choose to book our home, please always reach out with questions like this, usually it takes minutes for me to fix your problem and make your stay better. Please also always consider travel insurance. We run a small business and we stick to our refund policies. There are many providers of cancel for any reason trip insurance that would have covered this guest and refunded them in full in this situation for what usually amounts to a small fee.
