Relaxing Harbourside Stay
It was so lovely to wake up to the harbour view everyday. Cafes, restaurants and convenience store within easy walking distance. An excellent playground nearby that was a hit with our kids every day.

Wonderful Stay on the Water
We had a wonderful stay! Deb, the host was very gracious and helpful. Our greeter, Sherry was there to meet us and, also was very helpful and informative. The location cannot be beat as we were able to walk to the aquarium and the north end for great dining options. The house was quiet and beds were comfortable! It was nice being gently rocked to sleep! All in all, a short stay for us due to flight cancellations, but a very nice and enjoyable stay!

Guys Event
A group of us get together annually in a different city/state each year. We chose Boston this year and felt we couldn’t pass up an opportunity to stay on a house boat. A couple things that are worthy of note. US Coast Guard is close by with helicopters that fly over repeatedly. First night, we had no idea what was going on. Saw it in daylight the next morning. Heat didn’t work for us unfortunately but we found an electric space heater in the houseboat and tried that. Plugged it into a non working plug at first but then found an outlet that worked. Door itself didn’t really lock. Left us hoping that our stuff would be there when we got back, but also, the dock was gated and required key to access, so that eased the feeling overall. Great location and place. Small issues overall but good to know about.

A great Fall break in Boston
This was our first visit to Boston, and we wanted to try something different. The houseboat was great. We walked like 40 miles in the 4-5 days we were there. The house boat was located in a very quiet area and the water was so peaceful. We were traveling with three kids; 8-12. We'd highly recommend!

Charlestown houseboat
What a gem! This little houseboat was such a fun place for my family to stay. It was cozy and the location in the marina couldn't be beat. Plenty of room for three people and two dogs (thanks for being pet-friendly!), and there was no trouble with access or noise. Clean and well-provisioned; we had everything we needed. Checking in and out was a little complicated but we managed fine, with the help of the greeter and the owner. I would recommend that, if you're planning to eat in, you bring groceries with you in a car, as the 7/11 nearby is not sufficient and there are no other options within walking distance. Come prepared and you will have a blast!

Epic Family vacation!
We had a long weekend to spend with our adult kids in Boston and wanted to be able to walk the majority of the time. This fit the bill perfectly! The property manager was very nice and cheerful and answered any questions we had very promptly. The houseboat had everything we needed- and was a fun place to stay!! We always love trying something new! The walk through the docks especially at night was just relaxing and lovely. Don’t forget to give yourself time to sit up on the deck!
