On the water stay.
Overall great experience sleeping on the water. The Green Turtle being located so close to the ferry was a treat. In and out of Boston so easy. Didn’t use the car at all. Jon and Karen had us set up very nicely and offered help navigating when needed.

Location is secure in a gated pier, within walking distance to free bus transportation, and the ferry to Boston. Hosts Jon and Karen greeted us and went above and beyond to insure our vacation was worry free. We highly recommend this property in large part to their attentiveness. We hope to return.

Green Turtle Houseboat
For the average price of a Boston hotel room you get a great room with wet bar & outdoor space on the water! Jon is a Concierge Level host. Upon arrival, he assisted with my luggage, gave me an orientation and then proceeded to share with me valuable tips on attractions, restaurants and transportation. Jon was always available by phone/text. There are two equal sized units in the Green Turtle houseboat. The rooms are similar size to a quality hotel. Comfortable bed, two chairs, side table, hutch as a closet, wet bar with microwave, small refrig w/frz & coffee maker, The Bathroom & shower with seat is great. The houseboat was exceptionally clean with all components in good working order. Amenities provided was impressive: Peets Coffee, teas, creamer, yogurt, juices, water and breakfast pastries. Jon offered to refill anything I might need. Wifi worked great, wall mounted TV with Roku, thermostatically controlled AC unit and base board manually controlled heat. Green Turtle location is AMAZING, berthed on the last dock in the Charleston Marina with sweeping views in every direction. The Marina is within walking distance to ferries, shuttles and services. The Marina houses many high-end yachts. It should be noted, the houseboat is anchored on a two-sided dock. When the other side of the dock is occupied, it impedes the panoramic view. Regardless, the view at in every direction was lovely and I enjoyed seeing the neighbor yacht up close. I highly recommend the Green Turtle!

Clean peaceful place to stay
John and Karen were very hospitable with whatever we needed. Stayed 3 days in August. Everything was good. However it needs to be noted that there is an 80 ft. Yacht that docked in front of the houseboat on our last day blocking the beautiful view that we were enjoying. Unfortunately that was never mentioned in the VRBO discription.
