Sep 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was my third year staying on a houseboat of Suzanne's and I can't wait to return next year! The Reef is perfect! It's layout and size is perfect for me, but it has two bedrooms and two bathrooms so four could stay there comfortably as well. There are four places to sit and eat and a nice big comfortabke couch and one comfy chair in the living room area for hanging out, watching TV/streaming. The wifi is very strong. The boat was spotless and there were plenty of towels, T.P., soap, shampoo and conditioner provided. The shower is very good size with plenty of hot water. The kitchen has everything you need. The bedrooms are roomy and the beds and bedding are very comfortable. The gentle swaying of the boat at night is wonderful for a restful sleep. The top deck is THE place to hang out and watch the boats come and go with the bridge going up for the taller ships. So cool the engineering of it all. The deck chaises are comfy and if you want shade you can sit under the umbrella at the table. The stern deck is also lovely to sit and have your coffee on. I loved watching and listening to the terns and cormorants. The Reef is a fantastic homebase for exploring the area in New Hampshire and Maine. So much to see and do! It's breaktakingly beautiful! Suzanne is an excellent host! I highly recommend Reef for a quiet, fun and unique getaway! The marina is small and very quiet at night with only 1 other houseboat. You basically have the whole place to yourself, amazing! ##### Caroline K. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### john t.
