Boston houseboat rentals

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Boston. The boat was so much fun to come home to after our adventures. We enjoyed the harbor scene in addition to historic sights, Fenway and Salem.

We were excited to stay in such a unique place and it did not disappoint. The location was excellent - within walking distance of the Aquarium & our trolley tour pick up location. There are some excellent food and drink options near as well. We grabbed a quick bite the next day at Boston Sail Loft where the chowder was excellent! Our flight arrived late (10pm) and after getting our car and getting thru the Boston traffic we arrived at the parking area around midnight. Navigating to the dock and boat was a little difficult in the dark, but the owner provided as much detail as possible. The boat was well appointed and had we stayed longer than one night, we'd have taken advantage of the outdoor seating and the kitchen and laundry facilities. We reached out to the owners with a few questions and comments, which were responded to quickly. All in all a fun experience and one we won't forget!

We arrived in Boston and reached out as request by the property owner, Jon. He was very welcoming and helped guide us to the harbor from the Airport. He greeted us at the harbor parking lot and informed us of where to park and how to get around the harbor. He graciously helped with our luggage and walked us to the wonderfully kept "Green Turtle" houseboat. The exterior and interior was immaculate and well maintained. And had all the amenities you need. Jon was very helpful in describing the best places to eat, to visit, and ways to get around Boston. The best recommendation was the Harbor Ferry. It made getting back and forth from Downtown Boston simple punctated by a wonderful 15min cruise through the Harbor ($3.70 each way). Highly recommended, book with confidence and have an unforgettable stay in wonderful Boston Harbor unlike any hotel in the city.

We stay in many VRBO properties and just loved the uniqueness of a houseboat. The hosts' suggestions of local flare was dead on. Highly recommend.

Three generations of our family stayed in the pink pearl for three nights while visiting Boston. All of us loved the experience: the teens spent most their time hanging out in the loft, the grandparents appreciated the comfort of the bedroom, and the parents were fine on the sofa, bed and the living room. Sherry’s introduction Was thorough and highly useful – the location was perfect and since we are walkers, we walked the freedom trail and also over to the Museum. We walked home from dinner in the north end, and enjoyed the local restaurants and coffee shops as well. The views at night or simply lovely, and we enjoy the tranquility of Charlestown Marina after spending the busy day in Boston.

Chad and Holly were super helpful! The boat had plenty of space for all five of us and was a unique experience versus the same boring hotel room. Would definitely recommend!

My son and I stayed here on a spring break trip. The location was a 5 min walk from the USS Constitution, a 10 min walk to Bunker Hill and a 20-30 min walk to the North End. However because we were on a boat in a marina there was zero traffic noise and that combined with the rocking motion of the houseboat meant I slept extremely well. Bonus: we were visited on several days by a pair of ducks who would hang out on the patio with us. Got to love a vacation home that comes with pets! Downsides? The location may not be the best if you don't like to walk. Also the boat definitely rocks. I've stayed on several houseboats in the past where you couldn't sense any motion. However this marina isn't protected by a sea wall or breakwater so the wakes from cargo vessels do cause the houseboat to bob a bit. I actually found it extremely relaxing but if you're readily prone to motion sickness this may not be for you.

The location is awesome, you can walk to the USS Constitution and the ferry to the north end. Boat is very nice. The check in was amazing. Some advice- it is a steep step climb to the boat so pack accordingly (our heavy suitcases were a challenge but was workable…use duffles if you can (we were on the road for a while so this was on us). The only other thing to note is the stove does not work, we bought stuff to cook but it is just a microwave. Overall, awesome stay.
