Peaceful stay in unique accommodations. Take in the town or stay put and relax, either way you can't go wrong. The property has everything you might need and more. The wifi is a bit spotty, if that's important to you. Definitely not a deal breaker for us. We enjoyed every moment!

We had an amazing week on this beautiful houseboat!! After a long trip we were greeted by a basket of snacks and all the amenities you need to have a great holiday. The houseboat far exceeded our expectations and you cannot get better views than ones off the back deck. Kelly was great providing all the information needed, checkin and checkout were a breeze. We had a amazing time! I highly recommend renting Kelly and Patrick’s houseboat!

Beautiful scenery, excellent relaxing location with awesome amenities! This place is wonderful, exactly as seen in the photos! The yachts were gorgeous to look at, great music and food from the Marina Grill and very peaceful in the evenings. The houseboat does rock when the water has waves, which can sometimes be calming! Loved the modern decor, it's impeccably designed! This was an a great bucket list item!!! The host are SUPERB!

We traveled to Wilmington for our oldest son's college visit, and I've been eyeing this houseboat for a while. So glad my family was finally able to stay in it! It was beautiful appointed and so fun to stay on the water. What an experience! The hosts were incredibly responsive and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

All I can is that the pictures does not justify the experience nor the home enough. It was awesome! It was a surprise for my husband on Father’s Day weekend and he fell in love. The communication with the host was spot on as well. I still gave the trip a 5star although our only negative thing was parking during the concert that was going on the day when we arrived. The host told us where to park but the Marina was full and we listened to the port and concert Team of where to park and ended up getting a boot on our vehicle that costed us $160. I advised you to park in the parking deck and be sure to pay for it because it is Not free. But we did not let that ruin our trip although my husband was furious. I just want anyone else who rents to avoid getting booted because they are watching! Lol

The listing was accurate, the property was very clean, and communication with the owners was very easy. It was a very unique place to stay, and we were very very comfortable. About a 15 minute walk to the historic district, so very manageable without being right on top of all the noise. It is a quiet community, which we appreciated. As a bonus, the marina has live music on the pier in the summers on Friday nights and we had a blast listening to the concert from the deck, with the comfort of our own seats, food and beverages, and bathrooms. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again!

The description and pictures of the property were spot on! Communication and responsiveness with the Patterson’s exceeded expectations. Marina location was very convenient to downtown Wilmington attractions. We stopped by the marina office to ask a question and the staff was very friendly and informative. Our teenager’s loved the house boat and have already asked when we will be going back. Very cool family getaway!

We had a great time at this property, so much so, that we did a little research into investing in one ourselves. The location is perfect for walks on the river or to downtown. The property was clean and well stocked with whatever you could need for your stay. Sitting on the deck in the evenings was so peaceful. We will definitely do this again! Great host! Thank you!

An absolutely incredible surprise birthday getaway. This setting is beautiful, clean, modern, well equipped, and in a perfect serene location. Everything from shopping to bars to restaurants are all walkable from the house boat and the owners are wonderful communicators. Kelly recommended 4 different restaurants for us and they were all amazing. The river walk, which was right outside your front door, was lovely. Loved the new experience of staying in a marina on a houseboat. Would return in a heartbeat.

This property is a great location downtown for walking to restaurants and shopping. The board walk is in close proximity and offers fishing, boat tours, and sightseeing. Great location to relax and and enjoy the sunrise/sunset that reflects beautifully off the water. This property looks like the advertisement and stocked with all your needs. This was our second stay and look forward to returning in 2023! Kelly responded quickly to all our inquiries.

Perfect location with great view

The houseboat was a great location, just far enough from the densest crowds, but close enough to walk to restaurants. The upstairs patio was great for lounging, and ended up being the perfect vantage point for fireworks on July 4th. Any questions I had about parking were quickly resolved with a message Kelly. We are already looking for a time to come back!

We came in for a concert and relaxing weekend. We were looking for private accommodations that were walking distance to the venue and downtown without being in the middle of craziness. This was IT!! The house was wonderful and so cute! It was clean, quiet and comfortable. The owners were very attentive and accessible. I will definitely stay again when I come back to Wilmington.

Staying on a houseboat was a first for me and my husband and we loved it! The property was immaculate and very nicely appointed. We loved spending time on the upstairs deck. Kelly is an outstanding host - very responsive and mindful of details. We appreciated the little toiletries, plush towels, and well-stocked kitchen (those wine glasses!)😀 The location is lovely and very convenient to all Wilmington has to offer. A++
