vacation rental description
Located in Downtown Boston, Taurus has undergone a stem to stern makeover with finishes rarely seen on a boat. It features a large bathroom with a giant glassed in shower, large modern sink and a heated marble floor!
The recently renovated kitchen has plenty of counter space, a large fridge and gas stove. Making an impressive meal for your family is no sweat! The queen bedroom in the rear of the boat (off the kitchen) has a new mattress with a memory foam topper. You will go to sleep being rocked by the gentle sway of the waves, and awake with rays of sun coming in from the large windows running the width of the back of the boat.
The lower berth with two full sized beds is comfortable for a couple adults, or 4 kids if doubled up on the beds. With it being a lower berth, the ceiling is only about 4 feet tall. These beds all have memory foam toppers
Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Boston, Taurus is docked in a well-appointed marina on Atlantic Ave., just steps away from the New England Aquarium, Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall, the North End, Boston Garden, a large outdoor neighborhood swimming pool, a free tennis court, a public ice skating rink, and countless other things to see and do.
WiFi is included free with the rental and we also provide an iron, ironing board, hairdryer, and loads of bathroom products such as soaps, shampoos, and lotions. We even include lots of cooking ingredients such as coffee, condiments, etc...
The boat is large enough to comfortably accommodate up to 4-5 adults or 4 adults with a few children. It is fully air-conditioned and heated and has a large roof deck with outdoor seating. All sheets and towels are provided.
All this for less than the price of a regular hotel room at any of the nearby hotels!
If you are flying into Boston, we can provide you with information to arrange for a private water taxi to pick you up at the airport and take you directly to the houseboat for $15 per person (kids free!). If you are driving parking at the marina is $25/day.
The Experience:
What's it like staying on a houseboat? The boat is in a protected part of the marina, but there is some occasional movement during the day when boats pass by. It is usually very calm during the night, although some guests find a bit of gentle swaying is relaxing and can lead to a very restful sleep.
It is truly our goal that every guest have an exceptional and memorable experience, so come 'Float' away your tensions, inhale pure sea air and nautical vibes, 'chill' in an outdoor, downtown setting during the most picturesque time of the year! Ahhhh...
This houseboat is part of the SleepAfloat family of houseboats. SleepAfloat is the premier houseboat as hotel rental company in the US. It is truly our goal that every guest have the experience of a lifetime staying aboard our unique and innovative houseboats. With locations in Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, D.C., Key West, St. Pete Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Washington DC, and LA, you may never book another hotel room again!
THIS BOAT IS RENTED FOR ACCOMMODATION PURPOSES ONLY AND DOES NOT LEAVE THE DOCK.
