About this docked boat rental
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. The views from the spacious second floor outdoor patio (with retractable privacy fence) with sink and mini fridge and comfortable seating will have you planning your next visit. 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.

The pictures were accurate. The location was great. Not far from the beach and walkable to three great restaurants. Bonita, Marina Grill and Sugo. The property staff was amazing and super nice. The golf cart service was a life saver. Highly recommend you read the host detailed instructions. They truly covered everything but I missed how to lock the door. They were fast to respond and followed up to make sure we figured it out. 100% would stay again. Perfect room me and three 19year Olds.

Overall a good stay. Cute houseboat that is well stocked and host even provided water and snacks upon arrival. Also nice having four beach chairs available to use (in great condition) for our girls trip. The only complaint was when the neighbors in the adjacent houseboat decided to continue partying on their deck after they got home from the bars around 2:00 AM. I was disappointed that no one was available after hours with the Cove management company to assist with this but eventually contacted the Wilmington police who immediately came and handled the situation and shut it down at 3.30 AM.

This is a wonderful and charming houseboat. Our family enjoyed her thoroughly. The location is ideal for our visit with its view of the Cape Fear River and proximity to good, casual dining and old town Wilmington.
