If you are searching for a unique place to stay on the water near the Riverwalk, this is it.

This one-of-a-kind floating villa sits directly on the Cape Fear River in the heart of downtown Wilmington. You get gorgeous water vistas, calming mornings, and simple walking access to eateries, bars, live music, and events.

This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom houseboat comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests and is designed for both relaxation and convenience. Inside, you will find a bright, open layout, a full kitchen with everything you need, and comfortable living spaces across two levels.
Upstairs, savor a second living area and step out onto your private waterfront patio with an outdoor bar. It is the ideal spot for morning coffee, sunset drinks, or simply watching boats pass by.

The location is hard to beat. You are steps from the Wilmington Riverwalk, Port City Marina, the Convention Center, and Live Oak Bank Pavilion. Many of the best eateries, breweries, and attractions are within walking distance, so you can park once and appreciate your stay anxiety-complimentary.

Parking instructions: 1 parking pass supplied for 1 assigned spot located at close by parking deck. Parking is about a 5-min. walk. Because of the distance, we recommend using wheeled suitcases or bringing a foldable cart to make transporting your belongings easier. Coastal weather can be unpredictable, so it’s also wise to pack an umbrella or rain jacket just in case.

No additional parking passes can be supplied due to strict rules and regulations. Any additional cars must park in paid public parking.

PROVIDED: WIFI, entirely outfitted kitchen, paper goods, and ALL linens, including all linens + bath towels to save you the hassle/cost of renting them separately ($200-300+ value)! When you arrive, beds will be made with crisp, fresh linens and complete sets of fluffy towels will be available.

You must be 25 years or older to rent this property.

Sea Scape requires that all reservations have a signed rental agreement that will be sent to you via text message after booking. Once you've booked your stay, you will have 48 hrs. to complete the rental agreement to confirm your stay. Sea Scape reserves the right to cancel your booking if the rental agreement is not finished within 48hrs.

Booking a vacation rental can be stressful! Our goal is to make the process as painless as possible for our guests and to provide alluring customer service every time. Please contact us with specific requests, and we’ll do our best to help!
