Fun VRBO
This houseboat has everything needed for a fun weekend and is within walking distance from restaurants on the island. It is a short walk to the charming area of Portsmouth with all its shops and cafes. Very nice to avoid driving/parking there. We had one sunny afternoon and enjoyed the sunset and boat watching from the upper deck. Would stay again!

Wonderful stay
Well, we are already planning our return trip for next summer and I guess that about sums up my review. We loved every minute and hated to leave. The houseboat was spotlessly clean, lovely and well stocked with all the basics. It’s in a beautiful scenic area and local restaurants just a few minutes walk away on the marina road. Portsmouth is about a 10 minute walk over the bridge and Kittery outlets about a 10 minute drive. The best part for us was morning coffee on the upper deck and evening cocktails too. Beautiful views of the River, Portsmouth and the lobster boats coming and going with their hauls. Thank you Suzanne and the Marina staff for a perfect, unique and relaxing vacation. We will be back!

Great place to stay!
We’d never stayed on a houseboat and really enjoyed it! It was compact, but fine for the two of us. Very clean and nicely decorated and comfortable. Great location!

Tour of Maine Coast
We enjoyed our stay on the houseboat. The views from the top deck were great. The deck furniture was very comfortable. It is an easy walk to the towns of Kittery and Portsmouth where there are lots of fun shops and restaurants.

So fun!!
We rented this houseboat for two nights in early August and cannot say enough about how wonderful it was! Clean, easy to access, super comfortable, and secure - both my husband and I, along with our two sons, really enjoyed ourselves. We spent a lot of time in Portsmouth, tooling around the old town and eating and shopping. We also explored Kittery and the wonderful lobster shacks there. Absolutely unforgettable!

Heavenly Houseboat
This time of year the marina was extremely quiet and peaceful which was exactly what I was looking for. The property was spotless, cutely minimally decorated and updated and had everything I needed for my two night stay. I hope to return next year.

Boathouse Bliss
ABSOLUTELY fabulous. The location was PERFECT. We walked to everything in Kittery and Portsmouth. The folks at the marina could not have been nicer. They made us feel right at home. Suzanne was an AMAZING HOST. We highly recommended the boathouse and when you're sitting on the rooftop deck you will know you made the Best decision.

great weekend
Everything was as stated in the listing, Suzanne explained everything well and the dock masters were very friendly and helpful. We had all kinds of weather and the boat did great including direct winds and rain during a thunderstorm. I recommend it to everyone.
