Such a great place to stay

This was such a lovely stay! The boat was very clean. Sherry, the property manager, made us feel welcome and had so much helpful information to offer. This location is very close to the ending of the freedom trail and walkable to so many famous sights. We were very comfortable and would definitely stay again!

Best of both worlds

It was easy to be a tourist in Boston staying here, while also retreating away to the boat for some R&R! The other boat residents were so kind and everything was easily accessible from the marina. Highly recommend staying here!

Great location for visiting USS Constitution and Museum.

Great and enjoyable house boat for a couple or small family. There was some deferred maintenance (ie: clearing shower drain) and some missing kitchen gear, but otherwise very functional rental and fun way to be a house boat occupant and access to a host of Boston sites by land and water shuttle.

Loved it! Wanted to live there.

Family of four with two teen boys (who slept in the loft). We walked everywhere and used busses and trains, and had a great week in boston, and it was so nice to have the peace and quiet of the houseboat each night. Highly recommended if you are looking for something unique and awesome.

Relaxing vacation stay!

If you love being gently rocked to sleep then this is the place for you! The Pink Pearl was just the ticket to help us relax and unwind. The area felt completely safe and the dock was quiet. Check in was easy and thorough and we lacked for nothing during our stay. Would absolutely stay again and highly recommend!
