I stayed at this property while attending a conference at the Wilmington Convention Center. The property was clean and generally well maintained. There was a “slight” hiccup with the Internet but our host was responsive and assisted as best she could. The issue was not actually something in her control. Overall it was a great trip and I would stay again.

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.

Beautiful boathouse in the perfect location

This boathouse is in the perfect location downtown near the outdoor theater, restaurants and shopping. The houseboat is beautifully furnished and being the end unit, provided great views of the water. I will definitely book again.

I had a wonderful stay on The Regency houseboat. It is a really nice home with luxurious furnishings and appliances. Being on the end of the dock is awesome for the views and a little extra privacy (but be warned it's a healthy walk). I've stayed in a lot of hotels and rentals in recent years, and the upstairs shower here was one of my favorites -- high praise especially for a 'boat'. In my four days in March, I got to experience the range of warm days in the 70s as well as a storm with big winds and temps that went down in the 30s ---the houseboat was comfy the entire time.
