Great location, convenient to all the downtown Boston attractions and public transit options. Safe and secure inside the marina gates, surrounded by beautiful boats and yachts. Amenities are similar to an RV, so be mindful of the small shower, plastic toilet, etc. no issue for my family, we loved our stay.

I stayed here with friends for my graduation. This was such a unique place right outside of Boston. The houseboat was clean and had everything I could want. Boston is close and the parking was convenient.
