There’s nothing quite like sleeping on a boat.
As the water lightly rocks you to sleep, you’ll fall into a deep comfortable state. When you wake up in the morning, you can watch the sunrise over the water on the deck while you sip your coffee.
It doesn’t get much more relaxing than this. A boat is a perfect spot for your vacation.
Event better, this houseboat, known as Lilypad and available to rent on Airbnb, is moored just offshore in Newport, Rhode Island, one of the most charming towns in New England.
Whether you choose to spend your days on board the boat or take a water taxi to shore for shopping, tours, and dining, this is a unique summer stay that you’ll always remember.
Lilypad is a houseboat that sleeps up to four guests. It’s a stationary boat that is moored in one place, making it more of an island than a boat. However, don’t let this fact deter you - simply being on board will be enough to keep you happy and busy.

The view from the rooftop deck is 360 degrees, so you’ll be able to watch boats, people, and wildlife all around. Relax on the comfortable deck furniture with a good book and soak in the sun.

If it gets too warm outdoors, you might step inside to get some shade. The interior of this houseboat is broad, open, bright, and inviting.

The living area includes a couch and a dinette. This space converts into a bedroom at night for two guests.

The kitchen has everything that you’ll need to cook simple meals, except the food, of course. There is no refrigerator, so you’ll have to bring ice.

The master bedroom has a queen bed. You can step right out onto the rear deck and go for a swim when you wake up in the morning.

There’s a bathroom on board with a shower. The houseboat’s water tanks only hold ninety-gallons of water, so you’ll want to conserve as much water as you can.

Lilypad has three decks. The front deck is covered; it’s a great spot to relax in the shade.

The top deck is open and spacious. Most guests spend most of their time on this deck. It’s a great place to get some sun during the day or to relax with your companions under the stars at night.

Best of all, though, there’s nothing better than relaxing on the roof deck of Lilypad and watching the sunset.
