We had a wonderful time. We were worried about the weather considering we went in early November, but the boat was very cozy with plenty of extra blankets and the heater worked great.We were able to walk to lots of restaurants and attractions. Loved the little kitchenette which made it possible to make our own breakfast every morning.It was such a fun experience. Highly recommend.

Glamping in the Charlestown Marina

Three night stay in Boston and thought staying on a houseboat sounded like fun. The location is excellent and the houseboat matched the listing. Check-in process does require coordination but was fairly easy. The only glitch (not host's fault) was a 4-hour power outtage that apparently happens frequently during hot weather - - power to entire Naval Yard and Marina was out. The bed is super comfortable but the shower is tiny. Walkable location to restaurants and easy uber ride to Fenway, Boston Common, and the North End for great Italian. Our 17-year-old son loved the experience!

The booking process was easy. Checking in and out was super easy. The waves were a bit rough at times but the houseboat was so stable that the waves didn't bother me. The stay provided me with some much-needed rest. I recommend this houseboat.

Unique Vacation Stay

We loved staying on this houseboat. It was kind of like an adventure inside of an adventure. The only thing I would have changed (if I had the ability) was the weather. Our stay was in November (we were there for an event), so it was chilly. Next time we will stay when it's warmer, so we can enjoy coffee (by morning) and wine (by evening) out on the houseboat's deck. Our greeter was very helpful with the houseboat orientation and with walking directions from the boat. The location was really convenient to downtown Boston, the Freedom Trail, and the subway, whether walking or driving. All in all, a great stay and we would definitely stay again.

First time on a house boat

My 2 adult daughters and my grandson stayed for 5 days to sightsee in Boston and walk the Freedom Trail. The house boat was in a beautiful marina with a very nice bath house, surrounded by boardwalks and a park-like setting. Close to the USS Constitution and numerous places to eat. We were greeted at the gate by Sherry and she gave us a great and informative tour of the marina, bath house, and boat. The boat had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We visited the end of October and we're warm and cozy. The boat rocked delightfully all the time. It was an amazing stay!!! We would love to repeat it again.
