This was the last stop of our New England Fall Foliage amazing trip and this stop did not disappoint! It was perfect and within walking to most things to a fairy or bus stop without having to drive in Boston traffic. Woke up each morning to all the boats in the harbor and it was so beautiful and peaceful. Such a cute boathouse. Breakfast was perfect each day. We will definitely stay here again if we are back in Boston!!! Thanks so much!

Nice stay

We flew in on a red-eye, and Jon arranged for Sherry to meet us at the rental bright and early, that was much appreciated. Location was great for us as it was convenient to our son’s college and Logan airport. We really enjoyed walking along the Harbor Walk to North Station for the T. All in all, a nice stay.

Lovely, Unique, Memorable stay!

It was very fun staying in a boat house. Little nervous about how we would like it but it was lovely and so fun to do something different! The stocked fridge and homemade goodies and great coffee was an added bonus! Had everything we needed (except maybe a couple extra pillows) We came so I could run the Boston Marathon! What a wonderful experience and your boat house was the icing on top to an amazing weekend! Thank You!!

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.

Relaxing Anniversary Weekend

Our trip to the Green Turtle was wonderful! The accommodations were excellent. The marina was quiet and very beautiful. The Green Turtle is just a short ferry ride to the center of Boston. Great location to walk along the waterfront. Jon met us at the dock and helped with our bags. The refrigerator was filled with water, juice yogurt and delicious banana bread and blueberry muffins. We would definitely come and stay again at the Green Turtle.

Floating in the middle of Boston

It was every thing we expected and more. Very comfortable with all the niceties from home, i.e. microwave, coffee pot, dishwasher. We did order in one night, so this was very convenient. The location is outstanding. Walking distance to the constitution and Bunker Hill a short Uber ride to the north end. I don’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone we look forward to returning.
