Relaxing Harbourside Stay
It was so lovely to wake up to the harbour view everyday. Cafes, restaurants and convenience store within easy walking distance. An excellent playground nearby that was a hit with our kids every day.

Wonderful Stay on the Water
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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

Cozy and Rocking
Wonderful two night stay with our family. My two boys really enjoyed staying up in the loft and the parents enjoyed them having their own space, haha! They particularly enjoyed the boat's rocking to get to sleep. It was a cozy, cabin feel with a wonderful location and easy access to public transportation. Easy and informative check in process with the property manager, Sherry. Rave reviews from everyone on board.

Great location!
We had a great 2 night stay on the houseboat! Very convenient location - once we arrived we did not have to drive again until we left. We took the water shuttle into Boston, which was very close and convenient. My kids enjoyed the space to spread out - my 11 year old slept upstairs and my 14 year old enjoyed the pull out bed. My husband and I enjoyed nightly drinks on the roof deck. Check in and out were very easy. Would recommend!

Best way to see Boston!
We loved the boat and how easy it was to get to the ferry! We saw the sights, did the aquarium and went whale watching on our trip easily taking the water ferry everyday. Never took our car out of the marina parking. There is a really cool beer garden called 'the anchor' right next to the ferry. We stopped there daily to have an ice cream and enjoy the city views. Highly recommend the house boat!

Life’s better on a house boat!
We stayed in this cozy houseboat for 4 nights and it was perfect! My teen and tween boys bunked in the loft while my husband and I had the bedroom. The gentle waves rocked us to sleep each night. The efficient kitchen had all we needed to have breakfast before exploring Boston and the surrounding area. It’s conveniently located around the pier from the start of the Freedom Trail. We walked the whole trail over two days and it was fantastic. We also took the Charlestown navy yard ferry to Long wharf to connect to the subway. It was an easy way to get to Fenway for a baseball game. We were expecting tight quarters and planned on short showers. But the boat is bright during the day and seemed larger than it is. We conserved water and all still took a shower every day. There were plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets. The fridge was big enough for breakfast food and lots of leftovers. The marina felt very safe. We didn’t interact much with other folks at the marina because we were on the go, but every person we encountered was friendly…even the 4-legged variety. Staying in the house boat in the Boston Harbor was a great way to explore and find great restaurants, unique shops, and walk in the footsteps of our founding fathers! Sherry was very nice and helped us get acquainted with the boat. She made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again!

We were only here for a few days but had a great time. We had never stayed on a houseboat before and what a relaxing experience. The owner greeted is and showed us everything. It had everything we needed for our stay and our dog enjoyed sunning herself with all of the natural light coming in. It was so nice that at times it was hard to leave and venture out. Be ready to be rocked to sleep at night. Would definitely stay again.
