traveler reviews for this boston houseboat rental

Great location!

Bow (Oregon)
Review submitted: July 29, 2012   Date of arrival: July 2, 2012

The location couldn't be more perfect. We loved being on the harbor. Had the lower level bathroom not had problems which made our stay down there uninhabitable, it would have been a great stay. JJ, property manager was very helpful, apologetic, and proactive even on the 4th of July. They were very fair in their financial settlement and we would probably go back if everything was in working order, including replacing broken chairs on top deck. AC offered much needed relief! If we come back to Boston, we would rent the Kon Tiki again!

Perfect Location! Awesome Experience!

Review submitted: June 21, 2012   Date of arrival: June 18, 2012

What a great weekend! I'm so glad I decided to book a houseboat over a hotel! The location is perfect, right near downtown Boston and all the attractions we wanted to check out. We spent the evening enjoying cocktails on the roof deck counting stars. I travel to Boston quite often for work and will definitely be booking this boat next time I'm in town!

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.
