"Travelers' Choice Award" Green Turtle I Houseboat in Boston Harbor!

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.

If your dates are not available please check dates on sister suite listing #2752527

The Great Escape
What an ideal spot for peace and solitude while in the heart of Boston! You are rocked to sleep on the water at night, with Boston attractions and history at your feet the next day. GT is super clean, well-appointed and almost as charming as its host Jon who is the best! Thank you and Karen for the goodies and a great stay. We’ll be back. Sara E. and Terrie S.

Boston and Basketball
Great location for everything- we walked to Bunker Hill and TD garden for NCAA basketball tournament games. Took convenient ferry to sightseeing spots. Walked to USS Constitution and used free shuttle to get to North End. Clean safe dock area and neighborhood Hosts were great and very informative their recommendations were spot on. Enjoyed our 4 day stay despite some pretty raw cold rainy weather

Boston trip
Staying at The Green Turtle was such a cool experience. I didn’t expect where I stayed to be part of the experience, but it was! Jon and Karen were great hosts, easily accessible and Jon gave such great suggestions on everything Boston when we arrived! Will most definitely be booking with them again and looking forward to it!

My favorite place!
We stay in many VRBO properties and just loved the uniqueness of a houseboat. The hosts' suggestions of local flare was dead on. Highly recommend.

Best Decision Ever!
My wife and I were heading to Boston to spend the weekend with our daughter who is attending Emerson and this was a fantastic option instead of staying in the heart of the city. Jon is fantastic! The place was fantastic and so unique! Can't say enough about the weekend, we've been talking about it to everyone - first place I'll check the next time we're heading into Boston for a stay!

such a fun, cozy, scenic stay (and so close to downtown Boston!)
My friend and I booked this stay fairly last minute, but from start to finish, Jon and Karen were the perfect hosts :) Karen’s homemade banana bread waiting for us was just an extra bonus. As soon as I arrived, Jon was there to help me carry our luggage and gave us all of the recommendations on what to see in Boston. Downtown is a close ferry ride or public transit stop away, and Jon also gave me lots of good food suggestions (devoured our Modern cannolis as Jon suggested- delicious!). Would definitely stay here again or reccomend to family and friends. Would be perfect for a weekend getaway too- lovely dock chairs for a glass of wine or coffee with a book 😊 overall, it was a perfect introduction to Boston! Thanks, Jon and Karen.
