About this property

Best of Boston Houseboat Heat/AC in Boston Harbor Suite1 in Historic Navy Yard

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.

This is a unique setting from which to explore Boston, based in a marina in a peaceful area. There are easy links to the main sites in Boston, using ferry, free bus and taxis. There is a well stocked and recently opened general store nearby. Everything was well managed for us, with breakfast and linen changes provided ( we were visiting for two weeks), and arrival arrangements were straightforward. Jon provided advice on local restaurants, many within walkable distance, and Sherrie was available on site and via text. We were well looked after!

Brittany came to let us in and show us around. She was a wealth of information on how to get around (the free shuttle is a block away). And where to eat and how to get to various sights. Her input turned out to be invaluable. The two unit houseboat is rustic and charming. We found it to be comfortable and it came with three days worth of pastries, so there’s that.

Green turtle

We absolutely enjoyed our stay. It was probably the best vacation we’ve taken thank you so much for opening your place to us. I would say the only issue is if there’s ever water problems, but besides the shower issue, we enjoyed every moment of the time we were there.
