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! ##### Carissa H.

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. ##### Wendy F.

Aug 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Houseboat We really enjoyed staying on this charming houseboat! It is located in a gated marina and convenient to many attractions. The Navy Yard and the USS Constitution are an easy walk away, and you can easily take the ferry to Long Wharf to see the aquarium or go whale watching. I highly recommend the what watching trip out of Long Wharf as it is the only whale watching trip I have taken where I actually saw a whale, and not just one, but three! I loved the way the gentle motion of the boat rocked me to sleep at night. With a loft and two-deck porch/balcony, there was a surprising amount of space. Our dog was a little uncertain about hopping on the boat the first time, but he soon got to like it too. ##### David H. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth D. Sep 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Elizabeth D. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lance F. May 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Guys Event A group of us get together annually in a different city/state each year. We chose Boston this year and felt we couldn’t pass up an opportunity to stay on a house boat. A couple things that are worthy of note. US Coast Guard is close by with helicopters that fly over repeatedly. First night, we had no idea what was going on. Saw it in daylight the next morning. Heat didn’t work for us unfortunately but we found an electric space heater in the houseboat and tried that. Plugged it into a non working plug at first but then found an outlet that worked. Door itself didn’t really lock. Left us hoping that our stuff would be there when we got back, but also, the dock was gated and required key to access, so that eased the feeling overall. Great location and place. Small issues overall but good to know about. ##### Lance F. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Marla S.

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! ##### Marla S.

Definitely would recommend \~ ##### Tracey Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy M. Oct 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our girls group enjoyed staying on this house boat. The marina is well situated to visit nearby attractions. Also, we had no trouble scheduling an Uber to pick us up from this location. The marina was safe as entry and exit was accomplished with a key fob. Also, we found the setting to be very peaceful and serene after a busy day in the city. ##### Wendy M.
