My kids, husband and I loved staying here. The boat was very clean and comfortable, plenty of space for the 4 of us. The location can’t be beat. Sitting on the top deck in the evening was lovely. The Badger Island Marina staff are beyond friendly and wonderful. We loved every single thing about our stay.

The boat was fully equipped with everything that is needed for a weekend event. Loved the area for our first time house boat experience.
We had a problem with the electricity and heat which required us to reach out to the emergency text number that was provided. No one got back to us so the night and morning was a bit chilly.
The overall experience, we will return!!

We could not have been more pleased with our stay at the Reef. The houseboat was amazing; it was clean, spacious and well furnished. The time spent on the top deck was splendid. The location is perfect being close to both Kittery and Portsmouth. We are already talking about our next stay in the future.

Wonderful experience on The Reef! Location was amazing, houseboat was beyond my expectations, gorgeous views, exceptionally clean, and great communication with property manager. Only negative was that our two night stay was too short! Will most definitely be back. A++++

Extremely comfy bright and clean stay in a fabulous location. Loved being able to walk to everything! The houseboat was a perfect spot for 4 of us (2 adults, 2 teens). Would absolutely stay again

This was such a pleasurable experience start to finish! The boat was exactly as described and convenient in walking distance to Portsmouth. The rocking of the boat was gentle and soothing, so fun!

We had a marvelous time. Location was great getting around. From the deck we had a great view. I would highly recommend the REEF.

Clean, updated and had everything one needs for a week away. The location was in easy walking distance to Pourtsmouth and the marina was lovely. I was not excited that my husband booked this boat but I was pleasantly surprised. I expected it would be a step above camping but it was better than many hotels and had plenty of hot water for a nice shower. The views of the passing boats and downtown Portsmouth were just awesome. Hope to be back again one day.

The Reef houseboat is a really special experience. Perfectly situated with stunning views of Portsmouth and the Piscataqua river. Spotlessly, clean, very comfortably appointed (good bed linens!), and enhanced by the gentle rocking of the tidal current and the lovely deck above. The only snag was that the living room was described as having a pull out sofa, which it does not. Two beds were very comfortable, and an excellent shower given that it’s a boat! We look forward to a chance to stay again.

Such a wonderful cool and unique experience! We love the ocean and the boat provides all the accommodations you would expect and then some! The roof deck overlooking Portsmouth is amazing with 360 views! We’ll be back! Thanks!

This was a girls trip for myself and a friend. It was an accurate listing. We had a blast. I would recommend this property.

The Reef is exactly as advertised. My wife was nervous that she was going to be sea sick, that was never an issue. We had morning coffee and evening wine up on the observation deck, it was wonderful. Portsmouth, a short pleasant walk over the bridge, was a beautiful fun place to hang out, have a drink, eat amazing food and walk around. I highly recommend the Reef!

The views from the top deck were gorgeous. The boat was very clean and comfortable. Great beds, ACs in both bedrooms and the living room. Short walk to downtown Portsmouth. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Kittery/Portsmouth.

Very clean houseboat and very responsive owners (we called because we couldn't figure out the TV and I received an email back right away and the problem was solved!)

Wonderful stay!
One of the best rental experiences we’ve had. It was the first time we’d been to the area and none of us had ever stayed on a houseboat before. The Reef was spotless; comfortable; Suzanne was wonderful to work with. Unfortunately, not all of our party was able to stay. Unknown to us, one of our party suffers from seasickness. Those of us that did stay had a wonderful experience!

Great Experience
Had a wonderful time. Property is clean, everything you need is provided. Dock master Mike is on hand to assist when needed. Kittery has great restaurants, nice place to hang out.
Been here before and will be back again.

Suzanne was great at answering questions before we booked and I'm sure would've been during our stay but we just didn't have any! Clear info about parking and procedures was provided before we arrived. The Reef was super clean with all the necessities easily accessible, comfortable seating & sleeping for all. A quick walk into Portsmouth without the hassle of parking (or Uber) really made the vacation for us! We also enjoyed watching the bridge operate from the top deck. Brilliant rental. We will return!

We stayed in the house boat as an option when hotels were overpriced for graduation weekend. Marina was clean and quiet. House boat was clean and spacious. Roof top deck was a great option for space and spending time with the graduates.
Communication with owner was great. It was a super short walk to all that Portsmouth has to offer.

It was wonderful being on the water after being out of boating for over 10 years. The Reef is just what we needed. Very comfortable arrangements, super location and great friends made our anniversary spectacular! BTW Darren, Kevin and crew were awesome! Thank you!

Our first and last thoughts were "when can we rent this again?" We had such a great stay. The dock master was very helpful in showing us around, and giving us local tips. Once we parked the car, we walked everywhere we wanted to go. Our first experience on a house boat, and had all of the amenities of home. I would say this boat is for couples only. anything more, and it will feel crowded.

This was our 2nd time renting the Reef. It was great. Enjoyed coffee and drinks on the roof top deck and just sitting relaxing. Kevin the deck masters was awesome as usual. People in the marina very friendly.

This was a jewel. An beautiful boat in a fabulous location with the loveliest of harbor masters!!! The only caveat is that one must be able to deal with it a bit of rolling waves so if you have any sea sickness, this is not the venue for you. That being said, it is a must experience in life to view Portsmouth from across the River.

We had a wonderful experience staying on The Reef. Property was very clean, nicely decorated (IKEA -style) and roomy! In addition to 2 bdrms there were 1.5 baths…the extra toilet was nice for the cozy quarters. The living area was large enough to relax in the evening if you wanted to watch Netflix or play games. Kitchen prep area is only big enough for one person. The upper open air deck was wonderful for morning coffee, mimosa and pastries and perfect for happy hour in the evening. We loved the location because we were close enough to take short walks across the bridge into downtown Portsmouth too. This property was an excellent choice for a first time house boat experience! THANK YOU!
