"Awesome experience! Wonderful time provided and the host was amazing. Highly recommend staying here! Wish all host could be like Kelly!"

"we enjoyed this property so much that we want to come back ASAP !!! it simply had everything we needed for a getaway. the kitchen was stocked with plenty of cooking tools and we loved the overall layout of the house !!! would be comfortable to travel with another couple or kids. we stayed on the deck the entire time !!! if we were going to say one thing that was missing, it would be an outside TV and fan (for the summer) !!! but wow just wow we had a great time and great stay !!!"

"We absolutely loved our stay in Wilmington. "Luxe at the Cove" is such a cool place to stay--We loved it, our kids loved it, and friends and family we told about it were blown away. Plenty of room, super clean, and had all the amenities you could ask for (laundry, fully stocked kitchen, etc.). The second floor patio is a great place to enjoy morning coffee, evening drink, etc. 10/10 recommend--An awesome and unique stay!"

"What an incredible stay! Dan and Katherine are awesome people and their boat was beautiful! Manteo is a great place and met so many nice people! Thank you for helping us celebrate our 30 year anniversary!"

"The boat and overnight stay provided an amazing, unique experience to celebrate a friends birthday. The weather was perfect, and the accommodations on the boat covered everything we needed. Full moon on the water was magical. Communication, check in, and check out was thorough and on time."

"We rented it for a weekend staycation and loved the mini neighborhood of houseboats."

"We stayed in Wilmington to visit my son and to go to a festival downtown . Great location and place was so nicely decorated and clean . My only suggestion would be to have a cart for the house so guests could use that to haul luggage and food from the car to the house ."

"Our stay on the Sea Ranch could not have been more fun. The location, the house boat itself, everything was beautiful! I was stunned at the interior design and personal touches by the owner that made our trip extra special. It was an unforgettable 50th anniversary experience! Thank you!"

"We loved the house boat and can’t wait to return."

"The houseboat community was unique and a great location! Walkable to everything in downtown Wilmington. Would highly recommend."

"The boathouse was absolutely immaculate- inside and out. Had everything you could need. Views from the balconies were amazing. It’s in the perfect location - pretty much within the walking distance of everything downtown. There is a free trolly/bus system that serves downtown and stops right at the corner of the cove if you don’t feel like walking everywhere. It’s a very special place to stay and experience- nothing else quite like it!"

"Incredible and very cool"

"My husband, children and I enjoyed a 2-night stay. We LOVED the property and location. The property was clean, the kitchen was stocked appropriately with dishes and basic kitchen ware, and there is a full-size washer and dryer which would be a must if we had gone to the beach. I see this being useful if we decided to book a week-long stay or stay during beach season. Parking was simple, and coming and going was simple as well. We loved that there was no noise. I don't know if that's related-to...

"Great location for access to downtown Wilmington and unique stay in this very clean and modern floating home! Beautiful deck to enjoy cofee and views. Marina restaurant within easy walk and has live music on weekends. Friendly and professional staff on hand to help with questions. A comfortable and relaxing stay with friends."

"Great place perfect location"

"The owners were fantastic! The houseboat was impressive to say the least. Nothing was missing! The details in the decor were beautiful! We enjoyed our stay so much and can’t wait to return soon."

"We came for Grizmas in July which was located just down the street from the houseboat location. We could not have asked for a better stay and experience. Cozy and stylish decor, super clean, and had every amenity we could ask for. Would 100% come back!"

"My wife and I are local to the area and wanted to get out and enjoy the lake on a kid free weekend. We enjoyed our time on the houseboat and hope to do it again. John and his team were great hosts and made the outing extremely easy for us. Thank you for a great experience!"

"This was our first stay in Wilmington. It was a perfect location and an awesome place to stay. Close to everything downtown and also the beaches."

"We stayed at this property for spring break. The property was docked in an awesome little spot on the water; conveniently located near restaurants, shops and activities. Peaceful and quiet with kind neighbors. Would definitely recommend for small groups looking for a unique getaway experience."
