Great house boat in North End Boston

Check-in process was very simple and straight forward. Host communicated well with us and had a great Labor Day weekend. Location is in a very convenient but a little crowded with tourists (us included I guess). Lots of local dining options and convenient parking. Would stay again. Very happy with our choice.

Fun Family Stay

My husband and I took our two boys for a long weekend. This was an excellent place to stay. They had a blast staying on a boat, and we loved being so close to everything. We could easily walk everywhere and get the T to Fenway, the Science Museum, and Harvard. It was great having a full-sized kitchen and more space than a hotel in the area. We enjoyed having dessert and coffee on the rooftop and enjoying the views.

Perfectly placed house boat

This modern and attractive house boat sits at the end of the pontoon with great views out across the harbour, rather than being set between two other boats. It is in a nice neighbourhood in Boston too with easy walk to downtown and tourist areas. Great!

Huzzah!

If the revolutionaries had stayed here they may have had second thoughts about throwing tea into the harbor and instead decided to enjoy a cup in this beautiful spot! Location location location! Very comfortable and for a houseboat, spacious accommodation within walking distance (<1-1+ mi) to most city attractions. Highly recommend

BOS harbor

Truly a unique experience that we enjoyed very much. Took water taxi from BOS Logan to Long Wharf. Short walk to Lewis Pier from there. Took the train from Aquarium back to airport. Easy and free bus connection to/from airport both to water terminal and trains. Took water ferry to Hingham, USS Constitution. We walked everywhere else we wanted to go, Quincy Market, TD Garden for Celtics game and Little Italy for fantastic food. Will be returning to do this all again, it was a lot of fun especially if you don’t mind walking One tip: do not close pocket doors all the way or it comes off track and then someone on other side has to let you out. All and all a wonderful adventure!

Very fun stay at a great property

My family and I had a wonderful time at the house boat rental. It is tricky to get to the deck where the furniture is located (via ladder) so families with smaller children or anyone with mobility disability/limitations may not be able to access the outdoor seating area. The walk from the parking lot to the boat is easier with carry rather than roller bags - just good to know/mention in advance for planning. Well stocked, clean, super fun stay. We would visit again!

Best rental ever!! And it's a boat!!

This houseboat has it all!! Great interior setup. Lots of huge windows. Location to die for. Fully stocked kitchen. Awesome upper deck sitting area to watch the sunrise with coffee or sunset before heading to dinner. A bed that i could actually sleep well in... might have been the gentle rocking. Did i mention the incredible location!! Easy walking distance, minutes, to everything from great restuarants, attractions, parks, everything!! And you have to try the breakfast sandwiches at Sunny Girl Cafe across the street. I fully enjoyed my stay and already looking for an excuse to return!!

Incredible!!

Amazing rental! It was clean, comfortable, convenient, newly renovated with incredible location and views!! Watched an amazing sunrise from the roofdeck :) AC worked good, they even thought of all the minor conveniences of a stay- from charger to pantry travel size condiments, ample paper towels, trash bags, and TP provided… as well as clean and cozy sheets towels and blankets and pillows :) Customer service/Naomi was stellar- answered every time I called and super helpful! Quiet and peaceful surroundings, safe, and close to so many dining/tourist options of North End or Seaport district. Had no trouble finding a parking spot at the Lewis wharf lot parking lot for overnight/24 hr option. 10/10!! Can’t wait to re-book. Thank you!!!!

Unique Experience!

We were excited to stay in such a unique place and it did not disappoint. The location was excellent - within walking distance of the Aquarium & our trolley tour pick up location. There are some excellent food and drink options near as well. We grabbed a quick bite the next day at Boston Sail Loft where the chowder was excellent! Our flight arrived late (10pm) and after getting our car and getting thru the Boston traffic we arrived at the parking area around midnight. Navigating to the dock and boat was a little difficult in the dark, but the owner provided as much detail as possible. The boat was well appointed and had we stayed longer than one night, we'd have taken advantage of the outdoor seating and the kitchen and laundry facilities. We reached out to the owners with a few questions and comments, which were responded to quickly. All in all a fun experience and one we won't forget!

What a fun place to stay! We stayed with our two sons 10 and 13, it was great. We played cards on the deck overlooking the beautiful view, kids slept on the couch and that was fine with them. It was fun seeing the tide come in and out.
