Summary: While the houseboat was clean there are some serious structural issues with the property. I speak as a yatch owner, do speak from experience. Let’s start:1. The boat is taking on water from the port side, this is either saturated pontoon or hull issues as the boat slants to port side! This is not tide nor tie up issue nor weight distribution.2. With slant water in shower builds up in corner, corner floor to right of shower entrance is rotted!3. Out door light does not work, serious safety issue.4. While the floors have laminate cover there are soft spots in the floor near entrance door and forward stateroom, floor literally gives way when walking.5. Mattress covers all plastic, not conducive to sleeping well as it sounds like your sleeping on a plastic bag, there are much nicer mattress savers that could be used.6. Night stands are in poor condition and need to be refinished, simple sand, stain and varnish.7. Area rug in salon, old corner turned up, trip hazard. 8. Kitchen bar stool should be two only one, not sure where the other stool went to.7. Coffee machine did not work, sent email, never received a response.8. Side of boat on starboard side is pulled apart! It’s ashamed as this houseboat is in a great location, however it is clear that it is not being properly maintained and for the nightly rate there should be attention to detail. Pictures have been taken would be happy to share!!!

Summary: Great location and unique experience. You are in the heart of the north shore. 10 minute walk to Hanover Street for Mikes pastures. 5 minutes to Paul Revere, 5 minutes to the long wharf and aquarium and 15 minute walk to the Boston Tea Party. You’ll be right across from Boston Sail Loft with the best clam chowder we’ve ever had.Location is the best, but set your expectations for a house boat. You have a great deck up top. You’ll need to walk a ways with your bags and if they are heavy with rollers, they won’t work through the rock paths to the dock. Bed was comfortable. They use a plastic cover on the bed, which makes a lot of sense, but if you run hot, you’ll want to sleep on a couple of blankets as it holds the heat. Again, my expectations were for sleeping on a boat in a dock, so I feel like I knew what to expect.The host was in contact and very clear on the rules and expectations. They made it a very easy experience. Thus 5 stars and would stay again!

Summary: So glad we chose to stay here! Houseboat was roomy, had everything we needed. Enjoyed dinner on the roof deck, amazing city views. Checkin was easy, parking right next door was convenient. Highly recommended!

Summary: Great way to stay in Boston! It was clean and up to date and near everything North End. Parking was so easy. Keep in mind you are on a boat - I would suggest a pump out after each stay. I will book again the next time I’m in Boston.

Summary: Check-in was easy. Great location. Patio deck was really nice. Accommodations were fine. Small bathroom/shower but it definitely served its purpose. Way better than staying in a hotel room. Would stay here again.

Summary: Fun experience, relaxing on deck, & sleeping on Houseboat on Boston Harbor!

James J. Jul 23, 2025 11:51:15 PM

Summary: We stayed with our family of 4 - had a great stay. The location is perfect. We would definitely stay again. Our only issues were that the bed in the 2nd bedroom is pretty small for 2 adults and the fold out couch was not comfortable for sleeping and only had room for 1. Also, the boat listed a bit. It could use some large bowls in kitchen.

Nicholas D. Jul 20, 2025 08:18:45 PM

Summary: Great spot in the heart of the North End of Boston! Able to walk to all the major tourist destinations. The spot is in a gated marina, with beautiful views of the adjacent yacht club, city lights, and harbor traffic.
