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!

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.

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!

Perfect and unique!

Three generations of our family stayed in the pink pearl for three nights while visiting Boston. All of us loved the experience: the teens spent most their time hanging out in the loft, the grandparents appreciated the comfort of the bedroom, and the parents were fine on the sofa, bed and the living room. Sherry’s introduction Was thorough and highly useful – the location was perfect and since we are walkers, we walked the freedom trail and also over to the Museum. We walked home from dinner in the north end, and enjoyed the local restaurants and coffee shops as well. The views at night or simply lovely, and we enjoy the tranquility of Charlestown Marina after spending the busy day in Boston.

Wonderful Houseboat

We really enjoyed staying on this charming houseboat! It is located in a gated marina and convenient to many attractions. The Navy Yard and the USS Constitution are an easy walk away, and you can easily take the ferry to Long Wharf to see the aquarium or go whale watching. I highly recommend the what watching trip out of Long Wharf as it is the only whale watching trip I have taken where I actually saw a whale, and not just one, but three! I loved the way the gentle motion of the boat rocked me to sleep at night. With a loft and two-deck porch/balcony, there was a surprising amount of space. Our dog was a little uncertain about hopping on the boat the first time, but he soon got to like it too.

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.
