traveler reviews for this boston houseboat rental

Dated and Musty

AJ (Cincinnati OH)
Review submitted: February 1, 2012   Date of arrival: October 6, 2011

After reading some reviews (whick were quite old) we decided to book this boat for a weekend in Boston (Oct 2011). I was not a good decision. The boat looked from the outside to be about the oldest one docked and once inside the first impression was confirmed. Looks to be a 1960's vintage give or take, that has not been remodelled or updated in any manner. Musty smell, many wall light fixtures did not work and others were the clip on, portable type with long, loose extension cords to be plugged into nearby or in some cases distant outlets (potential electrical/fire hazzard). We have stayed in many places, some good, some not, but this was one of the worse yet. Had planned to stay the weekend but after one night vacated the tub and went to a nearby hotel. Sent an email to the rental agent/owner explaining the problem(s) and indicated we felt we were entitled to a partial rental charge credit. Several weeks later our account was credited with a paltry $100. We once again contacted the rental agent/owner inquiring why we only received $100 and heard nothing further. We may try "Sleeping Afloat" again but not on the Kon Tiki in Boston.

We were the first group to stay on the Kon Tiki. What a wonderful vacation. The location is perfect. We parked our car in the free marina lot and never drove again. We took the T, the ferry, and walked to see everything there is to see in Boston. There were 5 children in the group, all who loved the boat. The different decks were a favorite spot for them to hang out. They all looked forward to heading back to the boat after a day of activities. Andy was great. He was devoted to making sure that we had an enjoyable stay on the boat. We could not have found a better place to stay in Boston. Brenda Scanlon

Staying on the houseboat made our Boston vacation amazing. Location is ideal - close to transportation, the Freedom Trail, restaurants, stores, and with the most breathtaking views. Thank you!

My wife, older son and I enjoyed the stay on the Kon Tiki. The location is great and the float experience was a first and one we will do again. Ryan was great to work with and tended to all our needs. We found all the people in the marina to be very friendly too, giving us advice on where to eat and shop. Although the boat was a good fit for us three, I think we will upgrade to the larger vessels you have in the future. Thanks for making us feel at home on the water.

We had a fantastic stay on the Kon Tiki. The location (Charlestown) was amazing. Very close to free shuttle service to downtown Boston and all the attractions. The boat was extremely comfortable even though the temps dipped down to 30 degrees. Thanks for a TERRIFIC week!
