Poseidon's Escape: Ocean Retreat

This review is about the boat we actually stayed on, Stars Hollow. We booked Poseidon's Escape but about 2 weeks before we were scheduled to arrive they emailed us notifying us that the boat had been removed from the harbor and substituted Stars Hollow boat. We enjoyed staying on a boat and this harbor is in the perfect spot for walking to everywhere. The subway is very close. We went in early October and it got a little chilly. There was no heat in the boat and there was only one blanket in the entire boat. We also couldn't figure out some of the lights, including the string lights on the top deck. We sent an email to BHW with some suggestions but did not hear back. Hopefully they took our suggestions to heart and will make some adjustments. We would definitely stay in a boat on this harbor again!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful VRBO property, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the hosts put a lot of thought and care into making their guests feel welcome. The boat house was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated, with every detail thoughtfully arranged to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The amenities were top-notch—everything from the fully equipped kitchen to the comfortable beds and stylish living areas made our stay incredibly enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the little touches, like the welcome basket filled with local treats and the comprehensive guidebook with recommendations for nearby attractions. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently close to local shops and restaurants. We enjoyed relaxing in the lovely outdoor space, which was ideal for both morning coffee and evening relaxation. Communication with the hosts was seamless; they were responsive, friendly, and genuinely cared about ensuring we had a great experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this VRBO property to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-appointed, and thoughtfully managed place to stay. I can't wait to return!

We absolutely loved our stay on the boathouse. It was super clean and absolutely perfect for the two of us. The bed was also comfy and it was in the best location to everything in downtown Boston that we wanted to go to. Everything was super walkable and there were so many restaurants around there. If I had one complaint which wasn’t terrible the airport noise at 6 am with the incoming and out going planes might be annoying to some. Also we happened to be near another boat house with possibly college kids renting and they partied kinda loudly until 2 am but we were so tired I still fell asleep. Other than that we greatly enjoyed our stay!

This place was so great! It was comfy and perfect for our little get away!
