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!

Relaxing vacation stay!

If you love being gently rocked to sleep then this is the place for you! The Pink Pearl was just the ticket to help us relax and unwind. The area felt completely safe and the dock was quiet. Check in was easy and thorough and we lacked for nothing during our stay. Would absolutely stay again and highly recommend!

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!

Boston houseboat

It was just what we were looking for as far as a small adventure that the kids would never forget. We were fine with the small movement of the boat and it wasn't an issue. Had a great time touring Boston from this location.

Lovely Stay at Charlestown Marina

Very cute houseboat within walking distance of many historical sites. The marina is clean, quiet, and very secure. Communication regarding arrival and departure information was great! Coming off a cruise and the owner kindly allowed us to bring our bags early so we could walk around unencumbered. We were greeted by a very friendly person, Sherry, who gave us an orientation of the boat, marina, and surrounding area! Absolutely a repeat location!

Cozy and Rocking

Wonderful two night stay with our family. My two boys really enjoyed staying up in the loft and the parents enjoyed them having their own space, haha! They particularly enjoyed the boat's rocking to get to sleep. It was a cozy, cabin feel with a wonderful location and easy access to public transportation. Easy and informative check in process with the property manager, Sherry. Rave reviews from everyone on board.

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!

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.
