Delight at The Cove - Luxury Floating Villa in Downtown Wilmington

Welcome to The Cove, Wilmington's most unique vacation rental community. Floating atop the Cape Fear River, our Riverwalk Villa community offers an experience unlike any you've had before. From the gentle rocking of the river, to the peaceful view of the sunset, your stay at The Cove is sure to leave you feeling refreshed, restored, and wanting to return again soon. After parking in our free lot and making the 4 minute stroll down onto the docks of the Port City Marina, you’ll arrive at The Cove, Riverwalk Villas. Secured with dock ties and connected to electricity and water, you'll quickly realize that a stay at our dockside community offers the perfect mix of adventure, luxury and relaxation. Upon entering your villa, you’ll notice the spacious open concept living space, featuring a full kitchen, comfortable living room furniture and a spacious kitchen island with chairs to enjoy a meal. The kitchen, which offers a full size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, stove/oven large sink and dishwasher is stocked with all of the tools and utensils you'll need to make a meal during your stay. The beautiful living space features ample seating for 4 people, and includes a pull-out couch bed. Beyond the living space, you'll find the full bathroom with a washer and dryer, and the bedroom with a cozy Queen bed. Just up the outdoor staircase, you'll find yourself on the roof of your Villa with the most beautiful view of the Cape Fear River. With an outdoor bar (sink & mini fridge), and a variety of comfortable furniture options, this patio is a fan favorite for everything from morning coffee, afternoon reading, evening spirits, or enjoying a meal. In the Summer months, you'll often hear live music coming from Marina Grill, our delicious on-site restaurant, or Live Oak Bank Pavilion Amphitheater, which is only a block away. Location: The Cove is located in Port City Marina, which sits on the North end of the Riverwalk in Downtown Wilmington. Just a few steps from the Wilmington Convention Center and one block from both The Wilson Center, and Live Nation's Live Oak Bank Pavilion Amphitheater, a stay at The Cove offers the perfect solution for those wanting to avoid the chaos of parking, event traffic, and needing a DD.

Whether you choose to stroll along the Riverwalk, take the free trolley, or drive a few blocks down Water Street, getting there is easy. With many local shops, restaurants, breweries, live music, and events, Downtown offers something for everyone to enjoy.
