Cozy houseboat located in the downtown Port City Marina nestled among The Cove Riverwalk Villas. It is centrally located between the Wilmington Convention Center and the new City Park and Amphitheater. Rare opportunity to stay not near the water but ON the water. Amazing views not only of the Cape Fear River but also of the beautiful yachts that visit and call Port City Marina home.

Beautiful open layout with 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. First floor includes full kitchen, dining room, living room, one of the bedrooms and full bathroom that includes a washer and dryer. The second floor includes the master bedroom with a full bathroom and additional living room with sectional couch that includes a pullout queen sofa bed.

We are in a premier location with direct views of the Cape Fear River and the yachts in the marina.

Port City Marina is also a center for entertainment and dining along downtown Wilmington's Riverwalk, popular Front Street and the Historic District. If you love music, Downtown Wilmington is the place to be. There are concerts at Marina Grill, the Marina Pier and the Live Oak Amphitheater, all riverfront. You can enjoy this live music directly from our outdoor patio. Wilmington has been recently ranked as the top up-and-coming destination in the South.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect. The house boat was immaculate inside and out. The balcony had views of the marina and cape fear river. Our host had everything you could possibly need for an extended stay. I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

Very Relaxing

Wilmington is one of my favorite places to visit. This time was no disappointment. This was a birthday getaway for me and my husband. The houseboat was very clean and accommodating. Just the relaxation that I needed. Kelly was avaliable when we needed her with no hesitation. Thank you Kelly and we will be coming back.

Did not disappoint!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This villa had much better views than others closer to the dock. The owners were meticulous in terms of cleanliness and the homes overall design. The cove is in walking distance to restaurants, bars, conveniently located adjacent to downtown Wilmington. My husband and I are already talking about booking again and have shared the details with other friends interested in visiting.

The house was super clean and very well appointed. It had everything we needed and then some. Location is great. Furnishings were comfortable and in great shape.
