We wanted a unique experience so staying on a boat in the marina was perfect. Itâs in a great location and felt safe for two women. Everything was clean and as expected. We had rain other than our first night- so that night we took advantage of the cool upper deck of the boat.
This property was quaint and I would say rustic. However we enjoyed the ambiance and location. If you are older and not so nimble, getting into and out of the cabin could be difficult. We had no trouble finding on street parking.
Great little boat for a fun stay. The clubs nearby were loud that night but it's part of the ambiance. The upper deck was so great for hanging out at night. Overall, highly recommend for a great time.
We had a great time staying on this boat. No problems with check-in, and good communication with the owner. The location can't be beat, with a variety of places to go and things to do well within walking distance. And being able to sit outside on the deck with a martini was wonderful. No complaints really, though I'd suggest putting a piece of plywood under the futon mattresses to make them more comfortable, and perhaps a horizontal bar to aid in accessing the cabin. Honestly though, I'd be happy to come back for another stay.
This was such a fun experience. Very clear parking and check in instructions were provided. The boat is just adorable. We planned to go sightseeing in the area, however we decided to purchase a bottle of wine to enjoy on the top deck instead. The area was very secure, and we felt extremely safe. I would definitely recommend and I hope to stay here again.
My two kids and I were pleasantly surprised by the comfort of this old houseboat. It required some stooping and climbing of steep steps, but the spectacular views, fresh ocean breeze, and proximity to fabulous bars, restaurants, and cultural landmarks was more than worth it. Any questions we had regarding the boat and its surroundings were quickly answered by our host, Erin.
Directions for check-in were clearly provided. We parked on the street overnight about a block away, in the morning I moved to the street right outside the dock. Car was safe. Kitchen was basic, no microwave. But youâre on a boat, give up some luxuries. The club was loud, and went until 1 AM on Sunday night. But we went to bed turned on the AC and slept great. Wickelnden Street was quaint and had a lot of good eateries. The river walk was enjoyable. We had plenty to do within walking distance. I would stay there again. It was a great area for our first trip to Providence.
