Travelers Choice Best of Boston Houseboat Suite 1!

What better way to see Boston than on a houseboat in the harbor with plenty of fresh air! Set in historic Boston Harbor in a protected state of the art gated and secure marina the Green Turtle I is the perfect choice for your visit. We are located in Boston's Charlestown Neighborhood which is home to the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides) and the Bunker Hill Monument. Charlestown is Boston's oldest neighborhood.
There are wonderful restaurants within walking distance of the Green Turtle.
The Green Turtle I is an award winning floating houseboat which has 2 separate suites which can accommodate 2 people in each suite. Each suite is very private. The price reflects one suite. We have been awarded The Travelers Choice and The Best of Boston Award.

We are a short distance away from the North End, Fanueil Hall and the Boston Common. It is easy to get around by foot, ferry, free shuttle bus , Uber or Taxi. Catch the Green Line to get to a game at Fabulous Fenway

Each suite has a kitchenette and a private bathroom en suite. The Green Turtle was designed for comfort above all and the only reminder your floating in Boston Harbor is the sound of the gulls, motion of the sea and reflection of the ocean dancing on the ceiling.

Relax reclined on our dock chairs or sip gourmet coffee from the comfort of a well placed rattan chair.

We provide luxury linens and towels. Your suite has a queen sized bed, small window table with rattan chairs and a kitchenette with a small refrigerator and microwave. We stock your suite with coffee, tea, cream, milk and water.

If your dates are not available please check dates on sister suite listing #2752527

First Houseboat Stay

Our first time staying in a houseboat; we loved it. The views of the water with the backdrop of the city lights at night and the sun rising and waking us in the morning was so nice. We had a great dinner at Capo for the Frank Sinatra Sunday. We hope to stay there again. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

We chose to spend the last night of our Anniversary vacation at the Green Turtle. The hosts and staff were easy to work with (as I originally booked the wrong day) and the stocked fridge and breakfast treats were amazing. I highly recommend this experience!

Bucket list boat house stay

Everyone should have a chance to stay at a boat house once in their life and the Green Turtle was a great way to accomplish that! I probably had some responsibility in missing this detail, but I wasn't aware that the second bedroom would be rented out. As a single woman renting I would have liked to have that been made more clear. Perhaps on confirmation? Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay, with a great restaurant in walking distance, and the setting was a redeveloped historic naval shipyard. Public transportation and historic sites were easily accessible.
