The Pink Pearl was a fun experience for my family. The boys had a wonderful time staying in the loft and building forts. The stay became an adventure all its own. We enjoyed the sun deck for watching the boats and peaceful reading. All of the neighbors and marina staff were very friendly. The harbor walk was a nice surprise and is just steps away. The location is close to the freedom trail. The 7-11 is convenient but costly for standard items. I’d advice bringing purchased items from a typical store. The pier has wagons to assist with getting luggage and purchases back and forth from the car. The houseboat is adequate for the stay; however, we weren’t expecting to use a shower/bathroom common facility for the marina. We had 5 people and it was a must in order to get everyone ready in a reasonable time. It was a nice place so it’s not a bad side, but it was unexpected. There was a lot of extra furnishings and equipment in the Pink Pearl making scanning to differentiate our belongings from the fixtures a bit more challenging. Check-in was very nice and Sherry was pleasant and informative. Overall, our stay was a success and an experience my boys won’t soon forget.
