The Cove is located in Port City Marina (PCM), a top-tier, gated, full-service marina offering over 200 cutting-edge floating concrete wet slips. 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. Our state-of-the-art dock hosts all 40 of our exquisite villas, boasting thoughtfully designed angled slips, picturesque landscaping, and a welcoming community space at the dock\`s end. PCM\`s prime location on the along the award-winning Riverwalk grants boaters and villa guests unparalleled access to the vibrant Downtown Wilmington scene. 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. If this villa’s booked, no worries - send us a message and we can help you find another date or villa that suits your needs.

This turns the whole idea of a houseboat on its head, as this was a spacious, beautiful decorated property that made me wish we could stay longer. ##### Amy N.

Very peaceful and relaxing. Walking distance to a few restaurants and a short drive to many more. Our host was always in communication with us about things we needed to know and did so in a timely manner. The houseboats are close to each other but everyone was respectful of their neighbors. We will definitely be returning in the near future. Great experience! ##### Yolanda B. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina K.

Such a unique experience, we absolutely loved the house boat. The location was fabulous and it was wonderful being on the riverwalk. Marcia was a phenomenal hostess from the excellent communication to the spotless amenities. Thank you for sharing your stunning boat with us! Will definitely stay here when we return! ##### Tina K.

You cannot feel the boat rocking on the water. The upper deck is gorgeous with the water. This was a great trip. The property manager answered all my questions. Will definitely book again. ##### Katherine M. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan H.

The home was stunning-beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. It was very spacious and had everything we needed. Located just minutes from shopping, dining, and other activities made it even better. We appreciated the host always having quick and friendly communication with us. We hope to visit again soon! ##### Megan H. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie H.

The houseboat villa has everything you need and nothing you don’t . It was exceptionally clean and tidy , and communication with the property manager was a breeze ! My kids absolutely loved the experience and can’t wait to come back ! It’s a short walk up to Front street or to enjoy the river walk . Marina restaurant is also close by .we will absolutely book here again ! ##### Stephanie H.
