Situated on the picturesque Cape Fear River, PCM is a haven for both transient boaters and our esteemed residents enjoying the luxury of our permanent floating villas.

Indulge in the city\`s rich cultural offerings, savor delectable dining experiences, and immerse yourself in the vibrant arts and entertainment scene, all just steps away from our marina. Parking is available for one vehicle per villa in an off-site parking garage. The parking garage is located about a 5-7 minute walk from the Marina, so we recommend packing in suitcases with wheels, bringing a foldable cart if you have one. We often get unexpected rain showers on the coast, so we also recommend packing an umbrella or rain jacket. Welcome to The Cove Riverwalk Villas —your perfect getaway in Downtown Wilmington! We\`re just steps from Port City Marina and the Wilmington Convention Center, and one block from The Wilson Center and Live Oak Bank Pavilion, so you can skip the parking stress and event traffic. Who needs a designated driver when you’re this close to the action? Historic Downtown Wilmington is less than a mile away, with tons of shops, restaurants, breweries, and live music. Get there on foot, hop on the free trolley, or take a quick drive—either way, fun is just around the corner! For the inside scoop on local hotspots and events, check out our Guidebook or visit \`Wilmington and Beaches\` online. Need to catch a flight or hit the beach? Wilmington International Airport (ILM) is only 8 minutes away, and Wrightsville Beach, Jungle Rapids, and UNCW are all within a 10-mile radius. Bringing your boat? Our friends at Port City Marina would love to rent you a slip—just reach out to them directly and let the good times roll! The unique charm of The Cove comes from its prime position atop the Cape Fear River. Here in Wilmington, you might encounter a local \`water bug\` or ‘palmetto bug’. While their visits are rare thanks to our rigorous cleanliness standards, these occasional guests are simply part of riverside living. Rest assured, we continuously strive to minimize their appearances and appreciate your understanding. Parking for The Cove is conveniently located in a nearby garage approximately 0.3 miles from the dock. The garage offers 24/7 in/out access and is equipped with an elevator for easy loading and unloading. Parking for one vehicle per reservation is included, with additional parking available at daily rates set by the garage. While the garage is close, guests should be aware that there is a 5–7 minute walk to the dock due to our marina setting. Rolling luggage is highly recommended, and bringing a cart or wagon can be helpful. A limited number of wagons are available for guest use at our on-site office on a first-come, first-serve basis.

That was also much appreciated. I can’t think of anything they could do to make the stay better…A+. We had a blast, and will definitely be back. ##### Brandon A.

My husband was skeptical when I told him we were going to have an adventure on a houseboat but it turned out to be his favorite place he's ever stayed in. It wasn't at all like any houseboat he had in his imagination (cramped, small, uncomfortable bed) and declared it to be a "grand two-bedroom condo that just happens to float, which was cool!" Hoping that we have a reason to return to Wilmington one day to stay here again! We loved the entire vibe of being in historic Wilmington! ##### Patti T.

Nestled in Wilmington along the river, the surroundings were simply breathtaking, enhancing the overall beauty of our stay. The houseboat itself surpassed expectations, exuding its own charm and elegance. Every detail was meticulously crafted, making it a delightful retreat.

May 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Three days in Wilmington The place was lovely and very well suited for 2 couples. The location was on the River Walk and very accessible to the historic district as well as great restaurants. I gave a 5 because we loved being there. My one complaint is that the pillows are huge and very hard. When returning I would definitely bring my own. I have never had this problem before when staying at a VRBO ##### KAREN N.
