Unique Houseboat in Port City Marina Wilmington, NC
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (66)
"This property was beautiful and peaceful. The place was nicely decorated. For the property being pricey, the gravel parking lot and the unloading of luggage was very unexpected. One thing I can say is that we got in our steps while unloading. Next time we will bring our travel wagon. 😅. Other than that we enjoyed the stay!"

The interior is nicely decorated with a New Orleans theme - I loved the faux floor-standing lantern in the bedroom, which feels like a boutique hotel. Kitchen, laundry and bathroom well-equipped and very clean. I found the interior of the property limited in natural light, even on sunny April days. Plenty of lights and lamps in the apartment helped, which is why I appreciated the outdoor...
