Photos and Description of the Providence vacation house rental
Sleeps 6! 1 Queen bed, 2 twin beds, 1 sleeper sofa, 1 full bathroom

Experience Providence from the unique perspective of your own floating house! Our location in Fox Point Marina boasts some of the city's hottest restaurants and bars. It's the perfect spot for anyone coming to visit local area schools as we are only steps away from College Hill, Brown University, RISD, and Downtown Providence!

SleepAfloat’s Constellation Cottage is perfect for a romantic getaway for two or a fun adventure with friends and family*. This unique craft boasts a full size eat-in kitchen, full bath with shower, master bedroom with a queen sized bed, a sleeping loft with two twin beds, a living room area with a sleeper sofa and a sun porch and roof deck perfect for outdoor dining.

*This boat is suitable for 4 adults or 2 adults and a few children.

Experience:: The boat is in a protected marina which is normally very calm but there can be some occasional movement during the day when boats pass by. At night the waters are very calm and some guests even find that a bit of gentle swaying relaxes them and makes for a very restful sleep.

After a long day of touring the city there is nothing better than relaxing on your own private sun deck with a cold drink in hand. It's an experience like no other!

There is also FREE parking at the marina.

Incredible houseboat

5 of 5
Submitted: September 21, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Staying on the Boston-Cassiopeia was amazing....for a start you get much more space than a hotel room. You have the benefit of a wonderful view of harbour. The houseboat was clean and well laid out....with all the amenities like towels and toiletries provided.

I would highly recommend staying on a houseboat to anyone wanting something a little different.

Better Then Hotels Anytime!

5 of 5

My children and I recently stayed in Charlestown, MA to enjoy Boston. I decided to venture outside the normal hotel room and try a houseboat; if there is availability, we will ALWAYS stay on the houseboat! Wow! What a GREAT experience! The kids were in awe! For the amount of money you will be spending on hotel room with 2 double beds, you can have a unique stay with multiple beds, ample room so you're not on top of each other, a kitchenette, and a serene setting watching the sun rise or set right outside the city! Amazing! Sleepafloat has the best hospitality; directions for everything were right on! Everyone around the area is pleasant - and why not? You're right on the water! No need to rent a car, there is the water taxi, the water ferry or the shuttle to take you to the T. Enjoy your walk with restaurants or convenience stores right down the street! Have questions at anytime? Sleepafloat has the answers! The kids and I have decided to take our vacations from now on renting a houseboat in different locations!

Great Experience, Better than a hotel room!

5 of 5
Submitted: August 9, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
The houseboat was SUPER! It was perfect for us. We have four older children and it suited our needs perfectly. I especially loved having the outdoor space. Relaxing on the patio of the boat in the morning and evening was a treat. I too was concerned about the location but, no worries... everything was close by.
The boat was exactly as described and very clean. We couldn't have been happier with our stay!

Recent Boston Stay

Enjoyed the experience on staying on the houseboat vs hotel and I am sure we will do this again. I may only suggest that light filtering blinds are placed on the windows. The loft has no blinds or curtains. Each morning around 0430 the interior was very bright making it difficult to sleep in. Thanks to JJ.

Wonderful experience and I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Boat was very clean and the manager, JJ, was great - he was available 24/7 if needed and could answer all our questions. After running around Boston and surrounding areas all day, it was nice to come back to the boat and kick back and relax - very peaceful and quiet.
