Holiday on a Luxury Boat Home! Nestled in the Marina in Wilmington is the most fabulous community, The Cove. The Sea Ranch home in The Cove community is beautiful and well appointed. Exquisitely clean, this home boasts a great kitchen with everything you need including a top of the line Keurig Coffee Pot/KCup. There are two living areas, two nice bedrooms (one upstairs and one down) each with their own en-suite. We spent most of our time relaxing and enjoying the upper deck that has amazing views of the river and the marina. The upper deck has its own outside bar as well! We felt extremely safe on the docks and enjoyed the close proximity to everything along the Riverwalk and downtown Wilmington. You can walk to restaurants, bars and shows. Designated parking was close as well. So much to enjoy at the Sea Ranch! We are so excited to return in the spring! ##### Lisa C.

The downstairs includes a small living room, extremely well appointed kitchen (only appliance missing is a toaster), bedroom w/ queen bed and attached bathroom/laundry. A small deck facing the marina is accessed thru a slider. Upstairs is another bathroom, attached to the 2nd bedroom w/ king size bed. There is a large living area here, with sectional couch and TV. Thru sliders here is a larger covered deck with 2 seating areas and small fridge and sink, also overlooking the marina. Both bedrooms also include TVs. It is pretty quiet here and people are very nice. The convention center, behind the boat houses does have outside gatherings. Our first night, the rap type music from there was extremely loud and disruptive. The noise ordinance is 10 p.m., and it did stop promptly at that time. The Riverwalk is beautiful, although, if you are planning to walk to restaurants and shopping, wear comfy shoes....it is a hike of about a mile and three quarters depending on where you are heading. The Marina restaurant and Mexican restaurant nearby are both good as nearby options. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and Johnsie was wonderful to work with. ##### Terri W.

The unit is clean, nicely appointed, and it was everything that the pictures and write up said it would be. We spent the majority of our time sitting on the upper outside deck, enjoying the view of the marina and beautiful sunsets. We loved that the boat was located just steps from the River Walk and there were many restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. It's important to note that each of the house boats are one right next to another in a long row, so when you're out on the deck, if it's a busy time, others will be on their deck as well, so there's little to no privacy. Also, there are no USB ports in the unit and Wi-Fi reception is poor at best. Be sure to bring outlet plugs with a USB port. I took one star off on Communication only because I forgot an item on the boat and I texted the host twice and never heard back. Overall, we loved our Wilmington trip and staying on a house boat made it all the more fun and unique. ##### Helene S.

The place is truly fantastic, beautifully decorated and charming. It was surprisingly spacious, with a lovely covered porch area, and comfy living room on the second floor. The beds were comfy too and it was clean, clean, clean. Great for 4 people. The host was terrific too. Our best VRBO to date! ##### Mary Jo R.
