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

Incredibly adorable, wonderful location, Deb and Sherrie rock!!
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!!

It was great. We are a family of four, all adults, and we’re very comfortable in the space. We loved the proximity to the Harborwalk trails and historic Charlestown. Parking was so convenient! Highly recommend.

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.

We had a great time! We did a little trip for our 3 children- ages 9, 7, and 5. We bought a groupon for city pass and got to experience all of Boston. The location and accommodations aboard the Blue Pearl were perfect.

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.

Unique Marina Stay
This was our first time staying on a house boat, and loved it! Upon my arrival Sherry was there waiting to show me around an provide useful information about the house boat and surrounding areas which was very helpful. The marina itself is clean and the house boat is situated at the end of a pier with nice views and a bit of privacy. Overall a great experience and we would love to come back.

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.

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!

Relaxing rocking
My son and I stayed here on a spring break trip. The location was a 5 min walk from the USS Constitution, a 10 min walk to Bunker Hill and a 20-30 min walk to the North End. However because we were on a boat in a marina there was zero traffic noise and that combined with the rocking motion of the houseboat meant I slept extremely well. Bonus: we were visited on several days by a pair of ducks who would hang out on the patio with us. Got to love a vacation home that comes with pets! Downsides? The location may not be the best if you don't like to walk. Also the boat definitely rocks. I've stayed on several houseboats in the past where you couldn't sense any motion. However this marina isn't protected by a sea wall or breakwater so the wakes from cargo vessels do cause the houseboat to bob a bit. I actually found it extremely relaxing but if you're readily prone to motion sickness this may not be for you.

Lovely and unique stay
We’re from the area but wanted to do something a little unique for a staycation, and our stay here for the bill perfectly. My two children (2 and 6) were a tad nervous initially on the docks and boat but quickly acclimated and loved staying here. They especially loved the loft, and while my older son was fine, we did monitor the 2-year old closely, though she was usually careful. The kitchen was suitable for our needs (basically reheating leftovers and some light snack prep) and access to the city was easy. We walked to the Long Wharf area once but found it much faster and more convenient to take the ferry. I have a tendency toward motion sickness, but didn’t have any trouble on the boat and found the rocking soothing, especially at night. Sherrie and Deb were both gracious and responsive. All in all, a memorable trip.

OK IF YOU LIKE CAMPING
I KNOW THAT THE WEATHER WAS COLD, HOWEVER I NEVER THOUGHT THAT ON VACATION I WOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT LOSING POWER AND POWER RESETING ON DOCK. REMOVING ICE FROM LOWER DECK, VERY UNSAFE. REMOVING SNOW FROM NARROW WALK DECK UNSAFE FOR FAMILY. , HOUSEBOAT WAS DISORGANIZED, ie: ALL ITEMS IN CABNITES , ITEMS IN CLOSET. NO ITEMS SHOULD BE LEFT OUT IN LOFT AREA. USING ADDITIONAL HEATERS TRIPS BREAKERS. HADE TO REMOVE TRASH, TO DOCK AERA, THAT DUE TO HOLDAY, WERE FULL. HAD TO LEAVE WATER DRIPPING SO WOULD NOT FREEZE. FOR THE AMOUNT OF RENTAL COST WOULD NOT RECOMMAND DURING WINTER. IF ALL ITEMS WERE PLACED IN THE DESCRIPTION ON LINE I WOULD HAVE MADE DIFFERENT ARRRANGEMENTS

Unique way to stay in Boston - amazing location
We really loved our houseboat stay! The property was clean and pretty much as described. The loft bedroom was a big hit with the kids, and it was spacious enough that it was a good place to stow our suitcases up and out of the way. The location was perfect. The area is very walkable and while it may be more of a walk than some might like to get to restaurants, etc., we walked most places or caught the ferry from Charlestown Navy Yard. The marina was a really lovely home base. It was quiet and peaceful at night and in the mornings, and it was so nice to sit outside on the boat with a mug of coffee in the mornings! I will also add that one in our group is prone to seasickness, and he was totally fine on the boat (though we all felt like we were gently bobbing around even when on land for our entire stay!). A couple of things to note/that might be improved: it was pretty tricky to lock the sliding door to the boat. We had to leave it unlocked a couple of times because it just wouldn’t lock. Also, the bedroom door can only be closed from the inside, which meant that if someone went to bed, they had to either leave the door open OR wake up to let the other person into the bedroom. That’s only an issue if everyone isn’t going to bed at the same time. Finally, the instructions for the boat need to be updated. It was very confusing to have contradictory checkout instructions posted in the boat and sent via email, and the stakes feel pretty high if you do it incorrectly!
