Nice stay
We flew in on a red-eye, and Jon arranged for Sherry to meet us at the rental bright and early, that was much appreciated. Location was great for us as it was convenient to our son’s college and Logan airport. We really enjoyed walking along the Harbor Walk to North Station for the T. All in all, a nice stay.

Green turtle
It was great. Comfortable stay. The only issue we had at all was leaving on the last day. Driving out there was no key pad to enter the code we had been given. Had to push a button and talk to a person. We didn’t have the information she wanted so it took a few minutes to get. Fortunately there was no body behind us so it worked out. That needs to be cleaned up.

It was every thing we expected and more. Very comfortable with all the niceties from home, i.e. microwave, coffee pot, dishwasher. We did order in one night, so this was very convenient. The location is outstanding. Walking distance to the constitution and Bunker Hill a short Uber ride to the north end. I don’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone we look forward to returning.

Great intro to Boston!
My partner had never been to Boston where I had lived for 10 years, back in the 1980's. The houseboat was a perfect stay as we both love the water and boating. It's cozy, charming, and a delightful experience we'll always remember. Jon was a wonderful host, and we were welcomed by his wife's delicious banana bread! We highly recommend the accommodations.

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.

Our trip to the Green Turtle was wonderful! The accommodations were excellent. The marina was quiet and very beautiful. The Green Turtle is just a short ferry ride to the center of Boston. Great location to walk along the waterfront. Jon met us at the dock and helped with our bags. The refrigerator was filled with water, juice yogurt and delicious banana bread and blueberry muffins. We would definitely come and stay again at the Green Turtle.

Just close your eyes and imagine being surrounded by water, having your coffee on the pier in the sunshine, sleeping in the breeze from the open windows while being rocked like your momma used to do. Small and immaculate, with thoughtful extras. Jon is a doll!
