Wonderful location that is steps away from the freedom trail, harbor walk, and lots of the best places to visit in Boston—although the house boat is so comfortable you just might find yourself sleeping in and chilling out in the fully air conditioned and sleep inducing interior while door dashing in some tasty local eats (via a 2 minute walk to the closest pickup point).

Fairly rustic accommodations but basic necessities were provided. Plenty of linens, blankets and towels. The loft was a bit of a challenge for a 6’ 70 year old female, but I slept well once settled. The kitchen was well equipped. The soap and shampoo dispenser in the shower was empty. The marina is quiet and very safe.

We had an amazing time with our 3 boys. Great views from any window. They were great with communication and the houseboat was so fun! It had everything you need to make it through your visit. We were there on one of the hottest days of the year and your didn’t notice it inside.

Such a great place to stay

This was such a lovely stay! The boat was very clean. Sherry, the property manager, made us feel welcome and had so much helpful information to offer. This location is very close to the ending of the freedom trail and walkable to so many famous sights. We were very comfortable and would definitely stay again!

Best of both worlds

It was easy to be a tourist in Boston staying here, while also retreating away to the boat for some R&R! The other boat residents were so kind and everything was easily accessible from the marina. Highly recommend staying here!

Great location for visiting USS Constitution and Museum.

Great and enjoyable house boat for a couple or small family. There was some deferred maintenance (ie: clearing shower drain) and some missing kitchen gear, but otherwise very functional rental and fun way to be a house boat occupant and access to a host of Boston sites by land and water shuttle.

Loved it! Wanted to live there.

Family of four with two teen boys (who slept in the loft). We walked everywhere and used busses and trains, and had a great week in boston, and it was so nice to have the peace and quiet of the houseboat each night. Highly recommended if you are looking for something unique and awesome.
