"We had a wonderful stay! Deb, the host was very gracious and helpful. Our greeter, Sherry was there to meet us and, also was very helpful and informative. The location cannot be beat as we were able to walk to the aquarium and the north end for great dining options. The house was quiet and beds were comfortable! It was nice being gently rocked to sleep! All in all, a short stay for us due to flight cancellations, but a very nice and enjoyable stay!"

"It was so much fun to stay on the boat for our trip to Boston! We had a great view of the downtown area and yet were in a more tranquil environment The boat was just as pictured and very comfortable for the 4 of us. Chad was so nice. He met us at the marina, showed us around and even gave us some excellent recommendations for dinner nearby . We took him up on both restaurants and we’re not disappointed! I highly recommend staying there and hope to return"

"Outstanding Different Enjoyable Everything we had expected and more Jon is great and a huge thanks to Karen"

"Great location, awesome space, prompt hep with a minor issue (getting the garbage disposal started). Would definitely stay again!"

"Wonderful room on a houseboat. Easy access to a short inexpensive ferry to Boston. This was a unique experience and Green Turtle was fabulous!"

"We stayed on a houseboat in Lewis Wharf a few years ago and loved it, so we wanted to donit again. We are actually’local’ and my teen and adult kids like to stay in the city for short breaks. (We live an hour away). Love the proximity to the North End, the T, the Aquarium etc. Surprisingly quiet. We miss the boat we used to have, so we enjoy getting gently rocked to sleep. Will always choose a houseboat over a hotel if it’s available."

"Me and a friend so enjoyed our stay. Rocked to sleep in comfy bed and pull out sofa. Only hiccup is that there are no late check ins. That is stated in other rules."

"I surprised my wife (who grew up boating) with this stay for our anniversary weekend, and it exceeded all of our expectations. For anybody that’s never stayed on board a boat overnight, it is a bit like “glamping” (RV camping). All of the creature comforts are there (bed, running water, cookware and ample comfy seating), with a few challenges to make the stay more interesting (generator power, no heat, limited water supply… all things to be considered as part of the experience). The boat was...

"My son and I stayed here on a spring break trip. The location was a 5 min walk from the USS Constitution, a 10 min walk to Bunker Hill and a 20-30 min walk to the North End. However because we were on a boat in a marina there was zero traffic noise and that combined with the rocking motion of the houseboat meant I slept extremely well. Bonus: we were visited on several days by a pair of ducks who would hang out on the patio with us. Got to love a vacation home that comes with pets! Downsides?...

"My husband and I went for a weekend and could not have enjoyed our stay more. Getting to and from the boat by the water taxi was super easy and a nice way to get around. Danielle met us on the boat to show us the ropes. Took about 10 min to get downtown by the water taxi- was nice not to worry about parking downtown! We spent our nights relaxing on the boat enjoying the beautiful views. We definitely plan on returning again!"

"We walked around the harbor a bit before finding the boat. Glad the hosts were so responsive! The boat is outfitted with everything you need. Bathroom is tiny but entirely functional (instructions for toilet and shower could be included with the check-in information in the future, to have it up front). Beds are delightfully cozy. We enjoyed the night view from the top of the boat. Easy walk to lots of restaurants. It was a cool enough night that we opened the windows and enjoyed fresh air all...

"Easy, clean, restful, lots of fun. Would book again for sure."

"It was everything we thought as far as location in the boat itself, but the exterior of the boat was in need of a cleaning the bathtowels. What didn't you and mildew smelling the betting was tingy. And a little smelly, but overall, the place was clean in general. And had everything you'd want or need."

"Little Pearl is an absolute gem. I stayed aboard her 3 weeks; bed is super comfy, georgous linens, towels plentiful, the top deck view just lovely. the maintenance or problem solving (if you happen to need assistance) is superbly and amazingly quick; Deb the owner has great communication and super check in notes too; the Location just fab; pier 6 beautiful bar & restaurant around the corner and the fab ferry from just beyond your marina takes you to North End for a super cheap 3.75 where you can...

"My partner had never been to Boston where I had lived for 10 years, back in the 1980's. The houseboat was a perfect stay as we both love the water and boating. It's cozy, charming, and a delightful experience we'll always remember. Jon was a wonderful host, and we were welcomed by his wife's delicious banana bread! We highly recommend the accommodations."

"I never got to check in. They moved the boat to another location and never told me till the day of. Jeffrey never called back. Never communicated. I got a refund from vrbo. Never rent from these people. They should be delisted"

"Well, we never knew about boat rental Before this. The boat itself was nice, very cozy if i do say so myself. "

"We got upgraded To a 2 bed room room and we were so happy. The room was spacious and beautiful and clean. Def will be going back and getting that room again. "

"Decent place"

"Excellent! All around from front desk to kitchen … 10"
