"We really enjoyed the houseboats. Excellent location. Very easy to check in and communicate with property manager. Not a criticism but be prepared to walk from parking to the units, but they have carts for your stuff. It's a block or so away to park. No big deal. "

Stay Aboard Our 40-Foot Private Sailing Yacht w/ 2 Cabins — private slip & AC!

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (38)
"The boat was great and Kevin is a fantastic host! He worked with us on a necessary date change, without question, and we really appreciated that. We enjoyed our stay but we were disappointed with the lack of cleanliness of the marina facilities. I'm still giving it 5 stars because the host can't help that the marina bathrooms were so dirty.

Pet Friendly Floating Villa - Inspiration at The Cove - Downtown Wilmington

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (19)
"The houseboat experience was a first for our family and the location is well within walking distance of a lovely downtown. There are two issues that the host needs to be aware.

Laundry was available which made the towel supply workable. "
