We had a great weekend. From the clean and comfortable interior to the relaxing porch and great proximity to downtown it was the perfect weekend getaway.

AMAZING property!

We loved our stay, next time it will be longer! We were seeing a concert at Greenlake Amphitheater, just a short Lyft ride away, so a perfect location. The houseboat is HUGE and the deck is incredible. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place to stay in Wilmington!

Great stay at the Cove

This is our second time staying here. Its a very innovative concept with these "houseboats" in the marina. It was very clean and had all the comforts of home. Communication on what to do and what to expect was A

There was a glitch in the scheduling(double booking ) with the computer, and our unit was switched but after talking with our hostess everything was straightened out we were all very pleased with the care taken to accommodate us .and the guys logan and Philip took us back and forth to the parking deck and to town for our breakfast even loaded things into our villa . great experience all around. Beautiful weather and nice sunsets we did the river walk and town all 4 days thanks to the crew at The Coves at Dockside . Hopefully we'll make a return visits in the future.

Not Mr. Clean

All I will say is that I left the boathouse a lot cleaner than when k checked in. Housekeeping was horrendous, specifically in the downstairs bedroom. I have pictures!
