What a memorable experience! I spent many summers on my grandparent's houseboat as a child, so this really took me back and rekindled some fond memories! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful - including an early check-in (with bonus points for carrying my bag down to the boat from the office!) and storing our bags for a few hours before we needed to catch our late-afternoon bus to Cape Cod. It's a bit of a trek to Quincy Market (20-25 minutes) but the walk is worth it! Otherwise, there's a few buses that run right by the marina. Bunker Hill is less than 10 minutes way, as well as a Whole Foods Market. The accommodations are as described by previous guests. We bought some Dramamine after spending an hour on the boat before dinner, but we didn't end up using it since we seemed to adjust pretty quickly. The bed was very comfortable, and it was lovely to eat breakfast the following morning (which we grabbed from a cafe about a 5 min. walk away, with the discount coupons we received as part of our welcome package) on the deck just outside the boat. The laundry detergent used to clean the sheets and towels is a bit overpowering so if you have any scent sensitivities, you might want to check in with the hosts to see what accommodations can be made. Overall a wonderful/five-star rated experience!
