This was a lovely place to stay. It was easy to get a Uber and go downtown. Sherry who met us at the property full of information. It was perfect for us. What a lovely evening sitting out in front on the dock looking at the moon enjoying each other's company.

This is a unique setting from which to explore Boston, based in a marina in a peaceful area. There are easy links to the main sites in Boston, using ferry, free bus and taxis. There is a well stocked and recently opened general store nearby. Everything was well managed for us, with breakfast and linen changes provided ( we were visiting for two weeks), and arrival arrangements were straightforward. Jon provided advice on local restaurants, many within walkable distance, and Sherrie was available on site and via text. We were well looked after!

Brittany came to let us in and show us around. She was a wealth of information on how to get around (the free shuttle is a block away). And where to eat and how to get to various sights. Her input turned out to be invaluable. The two unit houseboat is rustic and charming. We found it to be comfortable and it came with three days worth of pastries, so there’s that.

Well kept and unique launching point for Boston adventures. Check-in was easy. Not much of a kitchen, but suitable for morning coffee and a glass of wine.

Green turtle We absolutely enjoyed our stay. It was probably the best vacation we’ve taken thank you so much for opening your place to us. I would say the only issue is if there’s ever water problems, but besides the shower issue, we enjoyed every moment of the time we were there.
