Well kept and unique launching point for Boston adventures. Check-in was easy. Not much of a kitchen, but suitable for morning coffee and a glass of wine.

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.

Excellent stay The green turtle was wonderful and unique for our Patriot Day/Easter weekend getaway. Hosts were very welcoming, gracious and super responsive during our 4 day stay. Will have to find a reason to return!

First Houseboat Stay Our first time staying in a houseboat; we loved it. The views of the water with the backdrop of the city lights at night and the sun rising and waking us in the morning was so nice. We had a great dinner at Capo for the Frank Sinatra Sunday. We hope to stay there again. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Bucket list boat house stay Everyone should have a chance to stay at a boat house once in their life and the Green Turtle was a great way to accomplish that! I probably had some responsibility in missing this detail, but I wasn't aware that the second bedroom would be rented out. As a single woman renting I would have liked to have that been made more clear. Perhaps on confirmation? Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay, with a great restaurant in walking distance, and the setting was a redeveloped historic naval shipyard. Public transportation and historic sites were easily accessible.
