Good to Know Before Your Stay:
Verification & Rental Agreement To help ensure a safe and secure experience for everyone, we use SafeGuest for identity verification and rental agreement review. After your reservation is confirmed, you'll receive a link with simple instructions to complete this process prior to arrival. A security deposit will be required through SafeGuest.
Check-In & Check-Out Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, and check-out is 10:00 AM. These times allow our cleaning team the opportunity to thoroughly prepare the home for each guest. During our busy summer season (Memorial Day through Labour Day), we are generally unable to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs from Friday through Sunday due to tight turnover schedules. During the week, we are happy to check availability within 24 hours of arrival or departure. When accommodation is possible, a fee of $25 per hour applies for early arrivals or late departures.
A Note About Coastal Wildlife One of the joys of the coast is being surrounded by nature. Our area is home to a variety of local insects, including spiders, ants, and palmetto bugs, particularly during warmer months. The home receives regularly scheduled professional pest control treatments, but occasional sightings can still occur despite our best efforts. If you encounter any concerns during your stay, please let us know and we'll gladly arrange additional treatment if needed. Seeing native insects will not be grounds for a cancellation or refund.
Television & Streaming While this property does not offer cable service, smart TVs or Rokus are available for you to access your favourite streaming platforms using your personal accounts. Please remember to log out before departure, or remotely through your streaming service if needed.
Cleanliness Our housekeeping team takes great pride in preparing the home for every guest, however everyone is human. If anything doesn't meet your expectations upon arrival, please let us know as soon as possible so we can address it promptly and help ensure you have a comfortable stay.

We had a wonderful time hanging out on the back deck for meals and drinks. The boathouse is well-equipped with dishes, etc. The check-in and out processes were simple.
The sunsets over the Cape Fear River were amazing.
The views from this houseboat are worth it. Spent most of our time on the deck just relaxing. It’s a long walk to the end of the pier but you won’t regret it after you see the views! Comfortable bed and well stocked kitchen.
Really nice and unique stay for special occasions. Highly recommend....best view at the Cove property (riverfront end unit). Great view of the river and Battleship Cove from the top floor deck. Excellent location if attending an event at Live Oak Pavilion (0.3 mile walk along waterfront).
Beautiful houseboat. Gorgeous interior…super clean. It is a hike with suitcases, bags, etc. from parking area to the last spot on the pier. Once there it is fabulous though. Views from the decks are amazing. Beds are comfortable
This property lived up to its description. It’s very nice and the upstairs patio was heavenly. We watched fishermen in mornings; recommend binoculars! Outdoor music until about 10pm from nearby venues but it was fine! The inside was pretty soundproof. The parking is far for seniors but it’s worth the haul!
This houseboat was absolutely beautiful! Everything looked brand new and it was impeccably decorated. The rooms were very spacious and there was a full size fridge along with plenty of places to sit and eat. The second floor outdoor deck was perfect to have dinner or just hang out on the couches. There was also an outdoor mini fridge!! I am definitely going to come back! Our stay was a definite 10 out of 10!
Don’t hesitate, book The Regency! If you’re looking for something a little different than usual, this is definitely the place. The sunsets from the deck are unrivaled. Internet is spotty, so bring your own hotspot if you need to work. Otherwise, disconnect and relax! Cheers!
We love Wilmington so much and normally stay closer to the beach. I am so happy we decided to stay in this wonderful condo houseboat closer to the riverwalk downtown. The views were incredible. This is a wonderful little houseboat community. The house was warm and welcoming and had everything we needed. Communication was thorough and easy to understand. Hosts were accommodating and provided great instruction. We will be booking again if available and I have absolutely told our friends and family. Book with them you will not regret it!!!
We were there for a short family trip to ILM. This unit is much cheaper than others but appears just as nice. Pictures and description just as they appear and say. The HB is the last boat slip so awesome views of the river, downtown ILM, and area. The HB has everything you need. Communication with hosts was good as well. Beware it is a bit of a walk from parking to the unit but there are carts you can use to haul stuff/luggage. Would definitely stay here again!
Bon Voyage! Spectacular houseboat in the Riverwalk district!
If you want something different and off the beaten path, chose this place! This houseboat was amazing! The location was great and we had beautiful views from 3 sides due to it being on the last docking station. We were able to find the location easily and there were carts at the bottom of the ramp to load your belongings. The area was nicely lit for easy visibility at night. The house itself?!!! Absolutely stunning and impeccable! The decor was beautiful and modern and the beds slept great as well. The photos do not do this place justice compared to experiencing it in person. There were several entertaining areas, but my favorite was the 2nd floor deck with a wet bar and views of the river.
Side note: We arrived early and wanted to be sure we had the location correct and ran into the housekeeper. She was so pleasant and gave us restaurants to try.
I will definitely be booking in the warmer months next year!
We’ve stayed in DT Wilmington and have seen the houseboats before and wanted a different experience for this trip so we booked. Our group loves to cook and marinated steaks to grill but there was no grill as listed on the amenities. We improvised. The first night there was no ice in the ice maker and we just figured it was emptied from the last person and we’d have ice the next day but it didn’t produce ice all weekend.
Other then those two little things our stay was great! It was an overall positive experience, very different and this particular houseboat is at the end of the dock with a great view. The marina should consider posting a no wake zone at the entrance to the inlet, inconsiderate boaters are the only time we would feel rocking on the boat.
Everything about this house boat was awsome will rebook again. Inside has everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. The deck balcony is the star of this stay you can see the boardwalk and so many other exciting things. Great visit!
The houseboat absolutely lived up to our expectations - very clean, comfortable, and perfectly located at the end of the dock, which made for a quiet, private stay.
Very fun mini vacation. Enjoyed the Riverwalk and all the shops on Front Street. Sitting on upstairs balcony , enjoying the view and boats going by was very relaxing. Will plan to do this again. Jean, Donna, Vicki, and Nina
The houseboat was amazing with unobstructed views of the water. Very clean, well stocked with everything you could need. I would highly recommend this houseboat! It is a walk from the parking deck but manageable and we had two people who have difficulty walking.
The host was outstanding and very responsive to our questions. Home had everything we needed for our stay. Beds are very comfortable. Location at end of dock was the best with terrific views from the porch. Will stay again.
