About this property

Endless Summer: Oceanside Views

Summary:

Stay a weekend. Stay a week! All of the amenities of home are included in this spectacular apartment-on-the-water in the heart of Boston's North End. Enjoy amazing harbor views and cool ocean breezes in the light-filled stateroom. Prepare breakfast in the fully stocked chef's kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and a granite island. Invite friends over for drinks on the enormous deck. This is truly Boston's most unique and memorable vacation experience.



The Neighborhood:

Conveniently located in the heart of downtown Boston at Lewis Wharf, this boat is just steps away from the New England Aquarium, Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall, the North End, Boston Garden, a public ice skating rink, and countless other things to see and do.



Getting Around:

Short walk (less than 10 mins) to Aquarium, North Station and Government Center subway stations



The adjacent parking lot charges $30-35 for 24 hours (this does not include in-and-out privileges)



Looking for a different type of transportation? Book a tour of the Boston Harbor with our partners, Red Top Boats, for a water taxi service or boat charter.



Other Things to Note:

Because we are in the heart of Boston the only parking option is the adjacent lot "Lewis Wharf Parking" (or any lot in the area if this one is full). Guests are responsible for this cost.

Absolutely beautiful and worth every penny. Sat for hours and just watched the boats, so relaxing. The boat was super clean and had everything you could possibly need. The steady rock of the boat was so amazing and peaceful. Planning an annual trip to Endless Summer.

Would give an overall rating of 4.4 if that were a thing. The property was appointed VERY nicely. Everything was clean when we arrived. The view of the harbor was great - it was interesting seeing the unique shipping that passed by. The kitchen was well stocked except the absence of a microwave oven. There were all the other usual appliances and very nice stovetop/oven. Water pressure was sufficient as long as you didn't try to shower while the laundry/dishwasher is running. The toilet was a bit small and seemed to struggle a bit.The pull out couch was very comfortable for 2 guest and the bedroom mattress was a very comfortable memory foam. The air conditioning left a bit to be desired as they are the portable type which were quite loud - but the two units kept the living space cool and dry.Be aware that parking can be a bit pricey, but that's par for the course when staying in a metropolitan city.

What a fun place to stay! We stayed with our two sons 10 and 13, it was great. We played cards on the deck overlooking the beautiful view, kids slept on the couch and that was fine with them. It was fun seeing the tide come in and out.
