Great intro to Boston!
My partner had never been to Boston where I had lived for 10 years, back in the 1980's. The houseboat was a perfect stay as we both love the water and boating. It's cozy, charming, and a delightful experience we'll always remember. Jon was a wonderful host, and we were welcomed by his wife's delicious banana bread! We highly recommend the accommodations.

On the water stay.
Overall great experience sleeping on the water. The Green Turtle being located so close to the ferry was a treat. In and out of Boston so easy. Didn’t use the car at all. Jon and Karen had us set up very nicely and offered help navigating when needed.

Location is secure in a gated pier, within walking distance to free bus transportation, and the ferry to Boston. Hosts Jon and Karen greeted us and went above and beyond to insure our vacation was worry free. We highly recommend this property in large part to their attentiveness. We hope to return.
