A great Fall break in Boston
This was our first visit to Boston, and we wanted to try something different. The houseboat was great. We walked like 40 miles in the 4-5 days we were there. The house boat was located in a very quiet area and the water was so peaceful. We were traveling with three kids; 8-12. We'd highly recommend!

Cozy Houseboat
Great experience living on the water, literally! Very relaxing. Close to everything in the city. Nice, private, secure Marina. Easy to get around with UberX service.

Charlestown houseboat
What a gem! This little houseboat was such a fun place for my family to stay. It was cozy and the location in the marina couldn't be beat. Plenty of room for three people and two dogs (thanks for being pet-friendly!), and there was no trouble with access or noise. Clean and well-provisioned; we had everything we needed. Checking in and out was a little complicated but we managed fine, with the help of the greeter and the owner. I would recommend that, if you're planning to eat in, you bring groceries with you in a car, as the 7/11 nearby is not sufficient and there are no other options within walking distance. Come prepared and you will have a blast!

Epic Family vacation!
We had a long weekend to spend with our adult kids in Boston and wanted to be able to walk the majority of the time. This fit the bill perfectly! The property manager was very nice and cheerful and answered any questions we had very promptly. The houseboat had everything we needed- and was a fun place to stay!! We always love trying something new! The walk through the docks especially at night was just relaxing and lovely. Don’t forget to give yourself time to sit up on the deck!

The Fun House boat was great. It was much roomier than I expected and very comfortable. The place was well stocked with everything you need. We will be staying there again.

A fun time on the pink Pearl!
We had a wonderful time! We have never stayed in a houseboat before. The hosts were so nice to let us leave our luggage on the boat before check in so that we could start our vacation! The location was good though we aren’t big long walkers so took an Uber daily which was fine. I think it was less expensive then renting a car and paying for parking though the Marina parking has plenty of room which was nice for those who needed it. There are convenient stores not to far as we ate breakfast and snacks on the boat so we made two trips there. My only constructive feedback is it does need a thorough cleaning and some updating. The kitchen had old spices/condiments that should be thrown out. I’m sure from guests left behind. The fan needs cleaning and the bedroom has a ripped dust ruffle that looks very unsightly when entering the room. The sheets don’t stay on the bed during sleep and seem very old. The rocking of the boat was so soothing especially at bed time! Now I know why babies like to be rocked! Our stay was so much fun. I highly recommend the Pink Pearl! What a nice way to spend our vacation! Having a washer and dryer was great! We went home with clean clothes!
