Wonderful location that is steps away from the freedom trail, harbor walk, and lots of the best places to visit in Boston—although the house boat is so comfortable you just might find yourself sleeping in and chilling out in the fully air conditioned and sleep inducing interior while door dashing in some tasty local eats (via a 2 minute walk to the closest pickup point).

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!

Loved it! Wanted to live there.

Family of four with two teen boys (who slept in the loft). We walked everywhere and used busses and trains, and had a great week in boston, and it was so nice to have the peace and quiet of the houseboat each night. Highly recommended if you are looking for something unique and awesome.

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.
