Amazing!

Boat was clean, well stocked and felt very safe and secure. Couldn’t beat the location. Most hotels in the area are comparable in price but this is a one of a kind experience. Highly recommend.

Great house boat in North End Boston

Check-in process was very simple and straight forward. Host communicated well with us and had a great Labor Day weekend. Location is in a very convenient but a little crowded with tourists (us included I guess). Lots of local dining options and convenient parking. Would stay again. Very happy with our choice.

Fun Family Stay

My husband and I took our two boys for a long weekend. This was an excellent place to stay. They had a blast staying on a boat, and we loved being so close to everything. We could easily walk everywhere and get the T to Fenway, the Science Museum, and Harvard. It was great having a full-sized kitchen and more space than a hotel in the area. We enjoyed having dessert and coffee on the rooftop and enjoying the views.

Perfectly placed house boat

This modern and attractive house boat sits at the end of the pontoon with great views out across the harbour, rather than being set between two other boats. It is in a nice neighbourhood in Boston too with easy walk to downtown and tourist areas. Great!

BOS harbor

Truly a unique experience that we enjoyed very much. Took water taxi from BOS Logan to Long Wharf. Short walk to Lewis Pier from there. Took the train from Aquarium back to airport. Easy and free bus connection to/from airport both to water terminal and trains. Took water ferry to Hingham, USS Constitution. We walked everywhere else we wanted to go, Quincy Market, TD Garden for Celtics game and Little Italy for fantastic food. Will be returning to do this all again, it was a lot of fun especially if you don’t mind walking One tip: do not close pocket doors all the way or it comes off track and then someone on other side has to let you out. All and all a wonderful adventure!

Huzzah!

If the revolutionaries had stayed here they may have had second thoughts about throwing tea into the harbor and instead decided to enjoy a cup in this beautiful spot! Location location location! Very comfortable and for a houseboat, spacious accommodation within walking distance (<1-1+ mi) to most city attractions. Highly recommend

Very fun stay at a great property

My family and I had a wonderful time at the house boat rental. It is tricky to get to the deck where the furniture is located (via ladder) so families with smaller children or anyone with mobility disability/limitations may not be able to access the outdoor seating area. The walk from the parking lot to the boat is easier with carry rather than roller bags - just good to know/mention in advance for planning. Well stocked, clean, super fun stay. We would visit again!
