Wanderlust @ The Cove Riverwalk Villas

Beautiful waterfront property. Zach was fantastic!!!

Everything was great!

The property is great. However, access to the property needs to be changed. The access ramp to the propertyis hazardous, especially for seniors and should be replaced with a LIFT-ELEVATOR!!

We decided to try the houseboat for a couple of days to celebrate our anniversary. Communication with Erin, our host, was excellent from the start. She answered questions within minutes. She sent a very detailed email that answered just about any question that we had. Upon arrival , we were greeted and assisted by an associate. Our place was absolutely fabulous- VERY clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped.There are many restaurants within walking distance. The upstairs back deck was wonderful and we enjoyed the time we spent there. We are planning on visiting The Cove again soon.

Beautiful property, great location! Check in was easy and the host kept great communication. Perfect for a quick beach getaway! Will definitely stay again!

I came to Wilmington for a conference and the Wanderlust was the perfect place to stay. It was SO nice and had absolutely everything we needed. The 2nd level deck was amazing and looked out over the water for a great view down the river. It is easily walking distance to the Convention Center which was exactly what we wanted. The are also plenty of restaurants in walking distance too. We really enjoyed popping back to the houseboat in between education sessions and for lunch. The river walk was the perfect place to go for a run or just walk to stretch our legs. We will most definitely be back!

Lovely place to stay. I wish there would have been a box of tissues n the bathrooms!

Attractively furnished, comfortable unit that is a docked houseboat. Convenient to downtown Wilmington. Easily accommodates 4 people with two bedrooms and baths. Excellent kitchen amenities, including complimentary delicious coffee. Senior citizens (as we are) might be challenged by the stairs.

Slept so well on comfy beds with gentle (almost unnoticeable) rocking. Perfect space with excellent furnishings and appliances. The top deck was excellent for relaxing outside. And the pier ‘park’ at the end was excellent for watching sunsets, playing cornhole, or just enjoying the rocking chairs. Attentive, friendly office staff were a bonus. Definitely staying again!

Great birthday weekend getaway at a very unique property. We will definitely visit again.

Went for a short weekend stay and loved every minute. The unit was immaculate, so clean and well appointed. Furnishings were comfortable and the beds and linens were great! Good location - loved the sunset view! Was an easy check in process. Would recommend and will be back!

This house was amazing. My husband & I live in Wilmington & have always wanted to stay. We were very pleased with the cleanliness, decor & cleaning/cooking supplies provided. We will be returning in the future! The view was unbeatable!

Beautiful place and great location!

Very nice. From start to finish. Very clean. Great communication from the host

We really enjoyed the houseboats. Excellent location. Very easy to check in and communicate with property manager. Not a criticism but be prepared to walk from parking to the units, but they have carts for your stuff. It's a block or so away to park. No big deal.

The place is beautiful. The attention to detail within structure and decor is well done. That said... The inconvenience to unload and carry luggage was extremely difficult especially for 4 women that overpacked and came in three cars. If I had known the amount of walking involved, I would have booked elsewhere since my mom had hip surgery 4 months prior. Nothing was in short walking distance, which meant getting a car each time. Picture shows walk from villa to dock ramp then lot. I booked two villas for our stay, extremely expensive for the unnecessary lugging we do each day. Our age group 36/63/73/81. For $2600, we could have been on the beach. My mistake for thinking this would be fun. They say they spray for roaches, but we had 7 in just one room. Urine on bathroom baseboard and daughter woke with bug bites on legs. I had asked for a two night refund, they gave us one cleaning refund instead. I was physically worn out after the three days. We did see a pretty sunset.

Clean and beautiful!!

The houseboat was fantastic. The communication with our host was wonderful. Perfect getaway for a short or weeklong visit. I would do this again!

Perfect villa near the amphitheater. Quick walk and loved being on the water!

We'll be back!

The Houseboat was better than any hotel room. Beautiful spot close to everything! Very peaceful!

My husband, myself, and our two daughters stayed here. What you see online is what you get and then some. It is a beautiful tranquil space, with simplistic yet beautiful design. The guests are respectful of one another's space. Wonderful!

I have always wanted to stay on a houseboat and it was even better than I imagine! The property is in pristine condition and has all modern conveniences while also floating! The weather was less than perfect during our stay but we enjoyed the amenities within the houseboat and made the most of it. Very walkable to the action on the riverwalk... and you can hear the live concerts at the pavilion next door when you are outside. Inside, it's very quiet. We will be back for sure!

The Wanderlust was very nice. Very clean. We had everything we needed to cook and then some. I love the location. Seeing the sunset and sitting on the dock in the rocking chair. Everything was great. I will be returning and staying longer.

Loved everything about the houseboat Wanderlust! Every amenity imaginable. Close to River Walk.

Great location for enjoying Wilmington. It is a walk to the houses from parking but a wagon does make it easier. The cove office was nice enough to let us borrow one which saved us. All in all a great place and would rent again.

A wonderful stay!

The unit was very nice and smelled new. We did find several cockroaches throughout the stay upstairs. In the photo there were no houseboats near ours so we chose it for a quiet retreat. When we got there we had neighbors on both sides. They were all nice but a bit too close for us. We will stay here again.
