About this property

We are located in Boston's Charlestown Neighborhood which is home to the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) and the Bunker Hill Monument. Charlestown is Boston's oldest neighborhood.
There are wonderful restaurants within walking distance of the Green Turtle.
The Green Turtle I is an award winning floating houseboat which has 2 separate suites which can accommodate 2 people in each suite. Each suite is very private. The price reflects one suite. We have been awarded The Travelers Choice and The Best of Boston Award.

We are a short distance away from the North End, Fanueil Hall and the Boston Common. It is easy to get around by foot, ferry, free shuttle bus , Uber or Taxi. Catch the Green Line to get to a game at Fabulous Fenway

Each suite has a kitchenette and a private bathroom en suite. The Green Turtle was designed for comfort above all and the only reminder your floating in Boston Harbor is the sound of the gulls, motion of the sea and reflection of the ocean dancing on the ceiling.

Relax reclined on our dock chairs or sip gourmet coffee from the comfort of a well placed rattan chair.

We provide luxury linens and towels. Your suite has a queen sized bed, small window table with rattan chairs and a kitchenette with a small refrigerator and microwave. We stock your suite with coffee, tea, cream, milk and water.

Boston and Basketball

Great location for everything- we walked to Bunker Hill and TD garden for NCAA basketball tournament games. Took convenient ferry to sightseeing spots. Walked to USS Constitution and used free shuttle to get to North End. Clean safe dock area and neighborhood Hosts were great and very informative their recommendations were spot on. Enjoyed our 4 day stay despite some pretty raw cold rainy weather

Boston trip

Staying at The Green Turtle was such a cool experience. I didn’t expect where I stayed to be part of the experience, but it was! Jon and Karen were great hosts, easily accessible and Jon gave such great suggestions on everything Boston when we arrived! Will most definitely be booking with them again and looking forward to it!

My favorite place!

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.
