Great trip

Came for marathon weekend. This is a little off the beaten path, but perfect for an insane weekend. Kids loved the loft. We would usually do the 20-30 min walk into the city, otherwise Uber is great. Beautiful location, peaceful - would stay again in a heartbeat!

Perfectly quiet & relaxing for spring break vacation!

I had read in a novel about a family who lived on a house boat in the upper East coast area and wanted to experience it. This was the perfect way to experience house boat life! It was quiet and peaceful. My kids thought it was so fun too! It was a perfect location. Easy to get to North End, really anywhere if you were willing to walk, yet nice to retreat to when done exploring!

The Blue Pearl houseboat was the perfect homebase for our after Christmas Boston adventure with our 11 and 8 year old daughters. The location was convenient for everything we wanted to do in Boston. The boat was warm and inviting even in December. The shower was great. Check-in

Everything was as advertised. It was very nice and convenient to transportation around Boston. My first VRBO. A little annoyed to be charged a cleaning fee and then left a list of things to clean at check out as well as take the trash out with you. Otherwise very nice.

Gorgeous Houseboat

A comfortable houseboat in the wonderful Boston. We found everything about the houseboat convenient. From the short walk to North Boston to the well equipped houseboat. We are a family of 5 and everyone has space and was comfortable on board. The deck is lovely to sit at and we loved chatting to the other harbour users. We would definitely come again. Thank you to Deb and her lovely team.
