The houseboat was so cute and such a fun place to stay during our long weekend in Boston! It was in such a convenient location for visiting all the different things we wanted to see, plus all the nearby restaurants and shops were great. The host was also very communicative and even helped us by letting us drop off our luggage a bit early so we didn't have to drag it around with us! Would absolutely stay again, it was such a lovely experience!

Over all the stay was excellent. Too short. The only suggestion is to supply better pillows. The ones available were flat and offered no neck support. Otherwise I was thrilled to be able to stay at the boat house

Liked: Location
The marina was a fun place to stay! Close to lots and central location to many things. Seems a bit more ideal for a couple or family versus two people traveling together. Loft was manageable but not ideal for someone in their 60s. Bath could have used some sprucing up--new shower curtain, shower amenities, new toilet seat, etc. Same with towels. Bed was very comfortable and linens were nice. Extension cord for coffee maker and one that had a slightly smaller profile would have been nice. Maybe even a Keurig for more convenience. But overall, a good stay l.

Ideally located! A quick ferry to Long Wharf and the Blue Line. Air conditioners were a welcome bonus, even on the water, the area was warmer than I remembered. The burners, fridge and microwave made for a functional kitchen. Washer and dryer were small, but serviceable. Access to the shower house and app operated laundry mat made it perfect, even for 3 adults and 3 kids.

We had an amazing stay on this houseboat.. truly one of the most unique and relaxing experiences. It had absolutely everything we needed and more, making it feel like a home away from home. The setting was so quiet and peaceful, which was a perfect escape after busy days exploring Boston.Parking being included for a small fee was a huge bonus (anyone who knows Boston knows how rare that is), and from there it was an easy walk to the T, ferry, and bus, making getting around super convenient.I was a little nervous about staying on the water since I tend to get motion sickness, but I didn’t feel a thing the entire time. Honestly, it was a dream stay.. and we’ll definitely be back!

This was our first time staying on a houseboat. All four children have informed me that anytime we go on vacation now we have to stay in a houseboat. This location is absolutely awesome. The neighbors, many of whom live there in House boats of their own full-time were very kind and welcoming. Many neighbors had their own dogs, which was nice because we had our dog Pickles. The roof deck on the house is a nice touch. The outside patio deck was awesome, the experience of being on the water is amazing.I find very often with hotels you have some neighbor who is getting in late at night and slamming their door and being inconsiderate. Sometimes in a hotel you hear people talking in the hallways. We experienced none of the hotel noise and inconsideration staying on this houseboat. Quiet hours started at 10 PM. I did not hear anybody being loud at all any time of the day while we were there. The whole experience was calming, and I’m inclined to agree with my kids, every Future stay will be on a houseboat. Next time we come back to Boston if we are fortunate enough to find this house boat available, we will book this houseboat again.

We had a quick stay in Boston, so this location was perfect for getting onto the freedom trail, and seeing as much of Boston as we could!Communication was great, our greeter was very helpful. The house boat was a unique stay!
