About the host

Hosted by Deven Franco

Host profile image
Part-time traveler, full-time foodie! I believe the best memories are made over great meals and good company. When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me taste-testing local favorites, whipping up something delicious, or sharing my best dining tips. Guests can expect a warm welcome, and plenty of ideas for where to eat like a local.

What makes this property unique

What makes our houseboat in New Bedford truly special is its perfect blend of style, comfort, and waterfront charm. Unlike a typical rental, our boat offers a light and airy interior with warm wood accents and sleek black exterior details, creating a modern yet cozy atmosphere. With space to sleep four comfortably, it’s ideal for couples, small families, or friends seeking a unique escape.

The experience goes beyond the interior...the dockside location gives you instant access to the water, charming New Bedford sights, and the calm serenity of a private marina. Whether you’re sipping morning coffee while watching the boats drift by or enjoying an evening sunset from the deck, our houseboat offers a rare combination of adventure, relaxation, and style that you won’t find anywhere else.
