Relaxing rocking

My son and I stayed here on a spring break trip. The location was a 5 min walk from the USS Constitution, a 10 min walk to Bunker Hill and a 20-30 min walk to the North End. However because we were on a boat in a marina there was zero traffic noise and that combined with the rocking motion of the houseboat meant I slept extremely well. Bonus: we were visited on several days by a pair of ducks who would hang out on the patio with us. Got to love a vacation home that comes with pets! Downsides? The location may not be the best if you don't like to walk. Also the boat definitely rocks. I've stayed on several houseboats in the past where you couldn't sense any motion. However this marina isn't protected by a sea wall or breakwater so the wakes from cargo vessels do cause the houseboat to bob a bit. I actually found it extremely relaxing but if you're readily prone to motion sickness this may not be for you.

Water views and peaceful home on marina

It was great. We are a family of four, all adults, and we’re very comfortable in the space. We loved the proximity to the Harborwalk trails and historic Charlestown. Parking was so convenient! Highly recommend.

Unique way to stay in Boston - amazing location

We really loved our houseboat stay! The property was clean and pretty much as described. The loft bedroom was a big hit with the kids, and it was spacious enough that it was a good place to stow our suitcases up and out of the way. The location was perfect. The area is very walkable and while it may be more of a walk than some might like to get to restaurants, etc., we walked most places or caught the ferry from Charlestown Navy Yard. The marina was a really lovely home base. It was quiet and peaceful at night and in the mornings, and it was so nice to sit outside on the boat with a mug of coffee in the mornings! I will also add that one in our group is prone to seasickness, and he was totally fine on the boat (though we all felt like we were gently bobbing around even when on land for our entire stay!). A couple of things to note/that might be improved: it was pretty tricky to lock the sliding door to the boat. We had to leave it unlocked a couple of times because it just wouldn’t lock. Also, the bedroom door can only be closed from the inside, which meant that if someone went to bed, they had to either leave the door open OR wake up to let the other person into the bedroom. That’s only an issue if everyone isn’t going to bed at the same time. Finally, the instructions for the boat need to be updated. It was very confusing to have contradictory checkout instructions posted in the boat and sent via email, and the stakes feel pretty high if you do it incorrectly!

Nice stay

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.
