A houseboat in Boston Harbor? Yes, please! We had a fabulous time living on the harbor for a few days. The houseboat was a perfect base of operations for our time in Boston. The hosts were fabulous, we were greeted when we got in about 11p in the evening, and shown what we needed to see! They even included a fully stocked fridge (with water, juice, milk, yogurt), coffee, and a fresh plate of baked goods. We will definitely stay again!

This was the last stop of our New England Fall Foliage amazing trip and this stop did not disappoint! It was perfect and within walking to most things to a fairy or bus stop without having to drive in Boston traffic. Woke up each morning to all the boats in the harbor and it was so beautiful and peaceful. Such a cute boathouse. Breakfast was perfect each day. We will definitely stay here again if we are back in Boston!!! Thanks so much!

We flew in on a red-eye, and Jon arranged for Sherry to meet us at the rental bright and early, that was much appreciated. Location was great for us as it was convenient to our son’s college and Logan airport. We really enjoyed walking along the Harbor Walk to North Station for the T. All in all, a nice stay.
