What a great experience. We loved our stay.
Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025

I had read in a novel about a family who lived on a house boat in the upper East coast area and wanted to experience it. This was the perfect way to experience house boat life! It was quiet and peaceful. My kids thought it was so fun too! It was a perfect location. Easy to get to North End, really anywhere if you were willing to walk, yet nice to retreat to when done exploring!

The Blue Pearl houseboat was the perfect homebase for our after Christmas Boston adventure with our 11 and 8 year old daughters. The location was convenient for everything we wanted to do in Boston. The boat was warm and inviting even in December. The shower was great. Check-in

Loved it! Receptive hosts and we felt VERY safe! I still feel the rocking feeling repercussions days later even on land though. But I do suffer from moderate sea sickness!

We stayed with our two kids and large dog. Lovely neighborhood and accommodations. Kids enjoyed the unique experience. Cramped of course but had more room than I was expecting for a houseboat. Would recommend 100%!

My daughter and I stayed for a couple of days and had a wonderful time. Deb (owner) is a fabulous communicator, Sherrie (property manager) is outstanding. Location was perfect for our back-and-forth trips into Boston. Our stay was a perfect 10, I wish I could give more stars!!

We had a great time! We did a little trip for our 3 children- ages 9, 7, and 5. We bought a groupon for city pass and got to experience all of Boston. The location and accommodations aboard the Blue Pearl were perfect.

I loved my stay at the Blue Pearl - it’s a cute and cozy place! The weekend was rainy and cold, I spent on the couch looking at the view and reading my book. Would go back again!

Everything was as advertised. It was very nice and convenient to transportation around Boston. My first VRBO. A little annoyed to be charged a cleaning fee and then left a list of things to clean at check out as well as take the trash out with you. Otherwise very nice.

Our family had a nice stay at the Blue Pearl. It does take a little getting used to having “sea legs”. Bed was very comfy with nice bedding. Lovely bath towels as well. Nice walk to the USS Constitution as well as the Freedom Trail.

A comfortable houseboat in the wonderful Boston. We found everything about the houseboat convenient. From the short walk to North Boston to the well equipped houseboat. We are a family of 5 and everyone has space and was comfortable on board. The deck is lovely to sit at and we loved chatting to the other harbour users. We would definitely come again. Thank you to Deb and her lovely team.

We loved our time on the houseboat. The kids thought it was a unique experience and enjoyed staying up in the loft. We liked the gentle rocking of the boat and the ducks that came to visit.
