Loved the views and atmosphere of staying on a boat. However, the pull-out couch could do with a new mattress. Otherwise, great service and communication.

Great trip

Came for marathon weekend. This is a little off the beaten path, but perfect for an insane weekend. Kids loved the loft. We would usually do the 20-30 min walk into the city, otherwise Uber is great. Beautiful location, peaceful - would stay again in a heartbeat!

Perfectly quiet & relaxing for spring break vacation!

I had read in a novel about a family who lived on a house boat in the upper East coast area and wanted to experience it. This was the perfect way to experience house boat life! It was quiet and peaceful. My kids thought it was so fun too! It was a perfect location. Easy to get to North End, really anywhere if you were willing to walk, yet nice to retreat to when done exploring!

My daughter and I stayed for a couple of days and had a wonderful time. Deb (owner) is a fabulous communicator, Sherrie (property manager) is outstanding. Location was perfect for our back-and-forth trips into Boston. Our stay was a perfect 10, I wish I could give more stars!!

Unique experience!

The Blue Pearl houseboat was the perfect homebase for our after Christmas Boston adventure with our 11 and 8 year old daughters. The location was convenient for everything we wanted to do in Boston. The boat was warm and inviting even in December. The shower was great. Check-in

Nice stay

Our family had a nice stay at the Blue Pearl. It does take a little getting used to having “sea legs”. Bed was very comfy with nice bedding. Lovely bath towels as well. Nice walk to the USS Constitution as well as the Freedom Trail.

Short stay in Boston

Nice boat with a lot of commodities. Close to the USS constitution which was nice and also close to the ferry to go to Boston harbour which was practical, because otherwise you have to walk about 30 minutes for the subway. Life at the marina is really nice and feels like you are part of a nice community.

Peaceful nights

The houseboat was very clean, there was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The rocking of the houseboat at night was very soothing, kind of put you to sleep. Very quiet area, spent our nights out on the top deck and bottom deck, enjoyed the scenery immensely. I would absolutely recommend this property, we walked the freedom trail and pretty much wherever we went.

The only downside was the location. Not the house itself but we had to do a lot of walking to just get to mass transit. (The walking was good for us). Our stay in Boston was great. Thank you.

Gorgeous Houseboat

A comfortable houseboat in the wonderful Boston. We found everything about the houseboat convenient. From the short walk to North Boston to the well equipped houseboat. We are a family of 5 and everyone has space and was comfortable on board. The deck is lovely to sit at and we loved chatting to the other harbour users. We would definitely come again. Thank you to Deb and her lovely team.

Lahore day getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. It was spacious and suitable for our needs. Sherrie was very friendly and had great suggestions. The arrival instructions were great. The check out instructions had the wrong gate code to get out on the email we received the day prior to check out. Also, there was some conflicting information as to where to leave the key fob when checking out. Other than that minor stuff, I would highly recommend it!
