Loved our stay at The Cove!

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!!

Perfect Downtown Getaway

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!

Clean, Comfortable, and FUN!

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!
