Wilmington, North Carolina
Welcome to The Cove, Wilmington's most unique vacation rental community.
Floating atop the Cape Fear River, our Riverwalk Villa community offers an experience unlike any you've had before.
From the gentle rocking of the river, to the peaceful view of the sunset, your stay at The Cove is sure to leave you feeling refreshed, restored, and wanting to return again soon.
After parking in our free lot and making the 4 minute stroll down onto the docks of the Port City Marina, you’ll arrive at The Cove, Riverwalk Villas. Secured with dock ties and connected to electricity and water, you'll quickly realize that a stay at our dockside community offers the perfect mix of adventure, luxury and relaxation.
Upon entering your villa, you’ll notice the spacious open concept living space, featuring a full kitchen, comfortable living room furniture and a spacious kitchen island with chairs to enjoy a meal.
The kitchen, which offers a full size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, stove/oven large sink and dishwasher is stocked with all of the tools and utensils you'll need to make a meal during your stay.
The beautiful living space features ample seating for 4 people, and includes a pull-out couch bed.
Beyond the living space, you'll find the full bathroom with a washer and dryer, and the bedroom with a cozy Queen bed.
Just up the outdoor staircase, you'll find yourself on the roof of your Villa with the most beautiful view of the Cape Fear River. With an outdoor bar (sink & mini fridge), and a variety of comfortable furniture options, this patio is a fan favorite for everything from morning coffee, afternoon reading, evening spirits, or enjoying a meal. In the Summer months, you'll often hear live music coming from Marina Grill, our delicious on-site restaurant, or Live Oak Bank Pavilion Amphitheater, which is only a block away.
Location:
The Cove is located in Port City Marina, which sits on the North end of the Riverwalk in Downtown Wilmington. Just a few steps from the Wilmington Convention Center and one block from both The Wilson Center, and Live Nation's Live Oak Bank Pavilion Amphitheater, a stay at The Cove offers the perfect solution for those wanting to avoid the chaos of parking, event traffic, and needing a DD.
Less than a mile away you'll find the heart of Historic Downtown Wilmington. Whether you choose to stroll along the Riverwalk, take the free trolley, or drive a few blocks down Water Street, getting there is easy. With many local shops, restaurants, breweries, live music, and events, Downtown offers something for everyone to enjoy. Check out our Guidebook or "Wilmington and Beaches" online for recommendations and events.
Beyond the borders of Downtown, a quick 8 minute drive or Uber ride will get you to the Wilmington International Airport (ILM), and within a 10 mile radius you'll find Wrightsville Beach, Jungle Rapids amusement/water park, UNCW (Go Seahawks!) and much more.
If you're interested in bringing your boat, our friends at Port City Marina would love to rent you a slip! Please reach out to them directly to coordinate that for the dates of your stay.

Great location for access to downtown Wilmington and unique stay in this very clean and modern floating home! Beautiful deck to enjoy cofee and views. Marina restaurant within easy walk and has live music on weekends. Friendly and professional staff on hand to help with questions. A comfortable and relaxing stay with friends.
We will definitely stay here again! Was great location for walking to bars and restaurants especially if you are seeing a show at the live oak bank pavilion! Property manager was very attentive and the house was beautifully decorated and comfortable. Upper patio was so fun to hang out and have a drink in the marina with amazing views. 10 out of 10!!
Great place to stop overnight with my son on a return trip from the far south to the northeast! Simply staying a dock is always the best; the American version of staying on a houseboat in Amsterdam! Their are 'dock carts' to easily load and make the short walk from parking to the dock a breeze. This is a quiet marina, people are very respectful and friendly without being intrusive. Views are amazing- even in the stifling heat we enjoyed a few hours relaxing on the upper level deck- a great bonus with major photo ops :) Everything is as described- even better in person than is depicted in the photos :) Easy to clean up before you depart- check in and check out are explained nicely. We absolutely loved our stay- it was in itself a special highlight on our vacation :) There is a Whole Foods that only requires a short drive, and many shops and restaurants nearby. Very, very glad I was lucky enough to find availability! All around fantastic experience!
It was great, really nice area and easy to walk to everything.
House Boat was beautiful and came with everything you need to need to enjoy your stay. The location was great- walkable to tons of bars, restaurants and shops.
Absolutely one of the best stays! Loved it!
Immaculately clean boathouse with great proximity to everything downtown! We loved our stay and hope to book this rental again!
We own a beach home in the area so are always on the coast, we were looking for a one night getaway so we could explore downtown, see the Battleship with our 14 year old son and take full advantage of reservations at Seabird. The houseboat was a unique option and fun experience...only regret is not being able to stay longer! I will definitely be keeping this in mind for concerts at the amphitheater. Beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything you need. Highly recommend!
