It was the perfect spot to get together with some friends for a chill but unique experience! It was very walkable and the views were beautiful. We spent most of our visit just hanging out on the boat playing cards and making memories! And there were three fun bars right on the marina which were great. The hosts were very communicative and helpful when needed. Would recommend!

Birthday Weekend
Boat is a nice boat. It was quite warm even with the ac and the fan provided. I just bought an extra fan and that did the trick. The toilet filled up overnight 2 nights in a row and we woke to a foul order. I reached out to our hosts and they responded right away and emptied the tank. It was quite relaxing on the water. There is a bathroom with a shower for people docked at the pier. Conveniently located a few steps off of the docks. Connected to Fish Co. For anyone who has never been to the area, night time parking can be a challenge as there is a club, (Hot Club), cigar bar and Fish Co. all right there. Lots of people hanging out, lots of loud traffic and loud music. But once we were at our boat, Gladys it was relaxing. Yes, you could hear the music, but I didn't mind. All of our boating neighbors were quiet and respectful. Our hosts were very informative and responsive!! Thank you so much again!! Amy

Unprepared for guests
It does not appear that they were prepared yet for rentals this season. No deck furniture, green scum in the bottom of water tank for the coffee maker and a sponge at the sink with dried food on it. The canvas cover on the top deck had blown off and it doesn’t appear to be from a recent storm. There is also a strong sulfur smell, especially in the lower bedroom and bathroom. No hot water at the kitchen sink but shower water was fine. The location is great with restaurants and shops close by. This could be a property worth staying at if the owners prepared more before guests arrive and pay attention to details of the property. The boat is dated but very adequate for a weekend away if it had been properly prepared for guests.

Cozy, well located but a little tired
This boat was such fun. We had a great time. I don't know if six adults could really fit overnight but our 3 teens and I had a great time. There are two tiny adorable bedding areas. It's So fun! The toilet is a manual flush, which is a boat thing, fyi. We thought it was funny. The boat is moored in a nightlife hotspot but the noise didn't bother us. The other boaters were nice, overall. The boat itself was a little tired and worn and smelled a little musty. Not everything was in 100% working order. Parking was a little hairy. For us it was totally fine, but if that's going to bother you, then this little boat isn't for you. Overall it was an affordable way to have a very unique experience and be in walking distance to Pride events!

Unique and fun place to stay!
We walked around the harbor a bit before finding the boat. Glad the hosts were so responsive! The boat is outfitted with everything you need. Bathroom is tiny but entirely functional (instructions for toilet and shower could be included with the check-in information in the future, to have it up front). Beds are delightfully cozy. We enjoyed the night view from the top of the boat. Easy walk to lots of restaurants. It was a cool enough night that we opened the windows and enjoyed fresh air all night.

Fun stay on the water!
The owner was very responsive and easy to work with. I arrived late, had trouble finding parking and she was very helpful.
So relaxing sleeping on the water. Cute yacht with fun extras like games to play. They have AC and fans set up to make it very comfortable on hot nights.
The only downside is not about the boat. The Marina restroom is through the patio bar and could really use a good cleaning.

Nice Yacht, GREAT Hosts
First time staying overnight on a yacht. Was my son and I. We're both very tall so sure, we had to duck, but we fit the beds just fine. The lower bed is huge. Boat was clean. Access to a marina bathroom and shower was really helpful. But the biggest compliment I can make is to the hosts. They are VERY responsive to questions and needs, and making sure we were satisfied. They also send a lot of information ahead of time so that access to the marina is clear and easy. I'd stay again.

House Boat in Providence
This was the perfect lodging for my family and I. We fit comfortably, beds were comfortable and the table popped off to make a bed where you could sleep under the stars. I appreciated the kureg with tons of kureg pods! There were 3 restaurants at the marina, all lively and nice! The music was nice for sunset on the boat. Parking was street parking, free and by luck. We were lucky every time, & always got a spot! The marina bathroom is small, 1 stall and 1 shower but it was nice to have accesss. Host was amazing! Very quick, very helpful and incredibly welcoming and kind. This was lodging to remember and we would def stay again!

Fun and Unique Stay in Providence
I had a fabulous time aboard Gladys last week!!
The experience was so much better than staying in a conference hotel. The location is an easy 1 mile walk to the convention center and allowed me to explore the area (easy to get to RSID museum, bus stop to go to Newport, Brown, waterfire, etc). Working with the host was super easy and all texts were answered promptly.
Note that staying aboard a boat is really glamping and you are not on a staffed yacht. Supplies were minimal but were all i needed bc i wasn't really eating there.
The only "even betters" i have to add is that perhaps a quick video on where things are would be easier to follow than the written instructions and providing paper towels or a dish towel would be helpful to to tidy up.
My only issue has nothing to do with the host or the boat itself. The marina bathroom has a great shower, though i do recommend showering on board just to have the experience. The bathroom is located in an establishment that is now a cigar bar. that restroom really smells strongly of cigar smoke. i happen to have a really sensitive nose and this was a challenge. again, nothing to do with Marcela and Gladys.
Great stay, would love to do it again! I definitely recommend!

Would stay again!
My son and i stayed for three days on the Gladys and had a great time. We would definitely stay again. It was comfortable and clean, and set up for what you would expect on a boat. The location could not be better for this unique experience. At night enjoy sitting on the boat deck and take in the lights of the harbor and downtown Providence. A Trader Joe's is two blocks away from the marina, and other really great restaurants and shops easy walking nearby on Wickenden and Fox Point area. Downtown PVD just a 25 min walk. Really a great experience!
