About this property

Unique Boston Harbor Houseboat Suite 2 - Experience near the Freedom Trail -AC

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, water and breakfast sweets.

A houseboat in Boston Harbor? Yes, please! We had a fabulous time living on the harbor for a few days. The houseboat was a perfect base of operations for our time in Boston. The hosts were fabulous, we were greeted when we got in about 11p in the evening, and shown what we needed to see! They even included a fully stocked fridge (with water, juice, milk, yogurt), coffee, and a fresh plate of baked goods. We will definitely stay again!

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.
