Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire villa for the duration of their stay.
The Neighborhood:
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.
Getting Around:
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.
Other Things to Note:
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?
We're excited to share that The Cove is growing! As part of our expansion, you may notice some changes to the views from certain villas. We do our best to keep our photos current, but given the pace of construction, updates may not always reflect the latest changes.
Please note that our north-facing villas, which have previously enjoyed marina views, will now overlook our community along B Dock. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility, and we look forward to welcoming you as The Cove continues to evolve into something even better!
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. We would love to have you Stay Afloat!

The houseboat was a great place to stay. The views of the marina was pretty cool, and the location from the riverwalk and the short 1/2 mile walk to restaurants made it a good choice.
We had a great stay. The place was really nice and beautiful view of the water. Very quiet and parking seemed to be safe. Easy check in and out. Would like to see a BBQ included at the property.
This place was great, clean, great location and a fun experience to stay on the water. The host had great communication and made the check in and Check out process very easy.
My family enjoyed our stay thoroughly. It was a unique experience and so pretty. The staff were helpful and polite. The place exceeded our expectations. Would stay again!
We loved the houseboat and location! Instructions were communicated timely and very accurate. The place was as advertised, very clean and had nice accommodations. There were great restaurant selections within a short walk. We would definitely stay again and for longer next trip!
The property is beautiful. Everything was very clean and all the essentials we needed for our stay were provided. My granddaughter loves Barbie and she was so excited to see all the pink in this houseboat! The upstairs deck is where we ate many of our meals. It is a relaxing place to enjoy a cup of coffee while enjoying the sights and sounds of the area. Great vacation with family!
My husband and I stayed for a night. We were going to a concert at Live Oak and didn’t want to drive. What a wonderful place to stay… we really could have just sat on the deck all night instead of going anywhere. The place is super clean and very convenient to downtown… we will definitely stay again.
From start to end this floating house was amazing down to guest check with the crew to neighbors being so friendly an last but never the least the peace that u had the whole entire it it was breathe taking yes I would stay here again in the near future
What a wonderful place to stay! The pictures do not do it justice! We enjoyed sitting out on the deck with the amazing view of the marina enjoying a glass of wine. The place was very clean, organized and included everything you would ever need. The host was very gracious and responsive to all of our needs. We look forward to coming back in the future!!
