    Staying on the houseboat was an interesting experience, it was great being rocked to sleep every night. The shower is very small with little water pressure and they don’t supply soap or shampoo, which surprised me not in a good way.

    Great few days with the family at this location. We enjoyed long walks following the waterline and found several nice nearby playgrounds for the young kids.

    Unique experience and great value! I was overwhelmed by the long email with all the rules and information, but Sherri was great and made everything easy to understand. Had a bit of a hiccup right off the bat, as we were initially checked into the wrong boat. Luckily, I pointed out the discrepancy and it was corrected right away. The only trouble at that point was that the incorrect boat was ready, but ours wasn't. In the meantime, we were able to drop off our luggage and go explore. The area is highly walkable, quiet, and we felt safe at all times during our stay. One of the Old Town Trolley stops is nearby, as is the Freedom Trail. Best breakfast nearby was Tatte Bakery and we had pizza delivered from Brewer's Fork - highly recommended! I worried about being seasick on the boat, but thankfully, it wasn't an issue. It took a good 3 days upon departure to feel like I wasn't on the boat, however. Checkout was confusing, as instructions posted on fridge differed from verbal instructions given by Sherri, but host was quick to respond and clarify. Shower is very tiny. Bed was very comfortable. Took some troubleshooting to figure out the TV, but it worked just fine. Overall, pretty great stay!

    The host was welcoming, and answered questions quickly. the boat was clean, all amenities worked and were clean. The location was perfect for our visit, its close to attractions and public transit but just off the path enough to be relaxing and not in the middle of the night life. We loved this option over a hotel, apartment or condo as a fun experience and would recommend toneveryone to book the houseboat if available

    We had a wonderful time. We were worried about the weather considering we went in early November, but the boat was very cozy with plenty of extra blankets and the heater worked great.We were able to walk to lots of restaurants and attractions. Loved the little kitchenette which made it possible to make our own breakfast every morning.It was such a fun experience. Highly recommend.

    Three night stay in Boston and thought staying on a houseboat sounded like fun. The location is excellent and the houseboat matched the listing. Check-in process does require coordination but was fairly easy. The only glitch (not host's fault) was a 4-hour power outtage that apparently happens frequently during hot weather - - power to entire Naval Yard and Marina was out. The bed is super comfortable but the shower is tiny. Walkable location to restaurants and easy uber ride to Fenway, Boston Common, and the North End for great Italian. Our 17-year-old son loved the experience!

    We loved staying on this houseboat. It was kind of like an adventure inside of an adventure. The only thing I would have changed (if I had the ability) was the weather. Our stay was in November (we were there for an event), so it was chilly. Next time we will stay when it's warmer, so we can enjoy coffee (by morning) and wine (by evening) out on the houseboat's deck. Our greeter was very helpful with the houseboat orientation and with walking directions from the boat. The location was really convenient to downtown Boston, the Freedom Trail, and the subway, whether walking or driving. All in all, a great stay and we would definitely stay again.

    My 2 adult daughters and my grandson stayed for 5 days to sightsee in Boston and walk the Freedom Trail. The house boat was in a beautiful marina with a very nice bath house, surrounded by boardwalks and a park-like setting. Close to the USS Constitution and numerous places to eat. We were greeted at the gate by Sherry and she gave us a great and informative tour of the marina, bath house, and boat. The boat had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. We visited the end of October and we're warm and cozy. The boat rocked delightfully all the time. It was an amazing stay!!! We would love to repeat it again.

    The location puts you within walking distance of all the basic necessities: coffee. Lots of great places to eat nearby and a short distance from the ferry as well if you want to venture out. The house boat is cozy and comfortable and the marina is calm and quiet. Perfect for relaxing or catching up on some much needed rest. I highly recommend this location and will definitely return next time we are in town.

    Houseboat is as advertised. Clean comfortable place to lay your head close to the Freedom Trail USS Constitution. Space is small and shower is very small but that would be expected on a houseboat. Good option for the price and location.
