42 Reviews of Property 229466 in Boston, Massachusetts

Where do I begin? Well, the 45 foot yacht, Green Turtle II, that my sister and I stayed on for 4 nights, was BEYOND BELIEF! It can sleep 6, has two queen staterooms, each with own full bath, a dining area, living room (pull-out bed) and 2 covered outside topside couch areas, one with wet bar and ice maker, other with radio/CD player. The kitchen has microwave and is stocked with everything - yogurt, o.j., Half and Half, soft drinks, coffe, tea and sugars and a basket of snack packs.

Floating comfort and elegance. Fabulous breakfasts brought to our door. Within walking distance of all forms of transportation....MTA, City Water Taxi, land taxi, ferries, and harbor tours.

The topper is the couple who own The Green Turtle b & b! Karen and John are there 24 x 7, living in their own boat, and always a phone call away to find the nearest restaurants or anything else you might require. They are great fun and very gracious. A super duo.

I live nearby, but am still going to find an excuse to stay there again.

It's difficult to decide where to start this review. John and Karen made us feel like we were family. They welcomed us to Boston and to the area and to their home with open arms. They made and delivered a great breakfast every day, they had great and insightful recommendations for us regarding restaurant s and places to visit. They even drove my wife to the start of the Boston Marathon. The houseboat was the perfect size to accommodate us and had everything we needed and more, a stocked refrigerator. The boat rocked us to sleep every night and protected us from the hustle and bustle of the city, but convenient to the many modes of transportation. We would definitely stay there again. It was a great 2 weeks with Karen and John and we are anxious to stay on their 2 new yachts.

The Green Turtle was everything we expected and more. The Inn was easy to find by car and would be very easy by water taxi from the airport. Our room was luxuriously comfortable and we slept like babies with the boat rocking us to sleep each night. Other than the sound of the ocean the boat was very quiet with no city noise even though the city was just across the harbour. We were brought a great breakfast each morning. The Inn is within walking distance of the ferry, bus route, tours and the North End. We will definitely return for many visits to come.

Die Greenturtle Pension in Boston ist ein wundervolles Hausboot mit 2 seperaten Wohnungen und Blick auf Downtown Boston. Karen und Jon sind hervorragende Gastgeber, die ein abwechslungsreiches Frühstück servieren und im Laufe des Tages die Wohnung wieder auf Vordermann bringen. Sie geben einem immer hilfreiche Tipps, wenn man welche will. Die Wohnung war genau wie besschrieben und sehr sauber. Es gibt mehrere Möglichkeiten um ins Zentrum von Boston zu gelangen. Entweder zu Fuß (ca 20 min), per Boot ($1,70) oder per kostenlosem Shuttlebus. Falls wir aus Deutschland wieder mal nach Boston kommen werden wir auf jeden Fall bei Karen und Jon wohnen und es auch jedem unserer Freunde empfehlen.

This place was an absolute gem and turned out to be the unexpected highlight of our trip to the States ,so much so that my husband was very reluctant to leave!! The suites are beautifully and thoughtfully furnished right down to those little extras like snacks for your afternoon drink on the pier. Karen and Jon were such delightful hosts who catered for your every need and made our stay so special. We have recommended the Green Turtle to so many people back here in Australia and to those we met on our trip. Not to be missed!

Wow, this place is amazing, we stayed 5 nights, June 11th - 16th 2010. The innkeepers ensure your holiday expectations are met and totally exceeded. The decor, the brilliant breakfasts, the house boat itself are outstanding. The bed was so comfy, in fact imagine being gently rocked to sleep, how better can it get. Ideal location to get everywhere in Boston. Can also recommend the super duck upper deck trolley, shows all the points of interest. We will most certainly return!

We live in Boston proper but were looking for a change pf scenery without too much travel hassle. Someone in the office suggested the Green Turtle B&B and it fit the bill perfectly. The weather was gorgeous, we sat out on the floating dock and fell asleep in the sun and to the gentle lull of the water. The room itself is simple and perfect. High quality linens, coffee, and simple breakfast of an egg/bacon sandwich. We slept like babies and loved interacting with the community of full-time boaters. Highly recommend this as a getaway - even if you live in Boston. You will love the view of Boston and feel like you went away.

We arrived at the pier and Jon greeted us, explained how everything worked and Karen greeted us on the boat house and explained transportation into Boston, very easy we took the ferry which cost us $1.70 each way what a deal to get into Boston. My husband spent his 40th B-Day and it's one he will not forget. B&B was everything and more, it was a wonderful way to go to sleep and a beautiful way to wake up. The view of Boston from the Boat was spectacular and the location was perfect. The B&B was very clean and quiet everything you would need and want was there. The boat was far enough but yet very close to all of Boston's activities and restaurants. We are looking forward to sharing another 40 birthdays there.....
