Loved our stay at The Cove!
We will definitely stay here again! Was great location for walking to bars and restaurants especially if you are seeing a show at the live oak bank pavilion! Property manager was very attentive and the house was beautifully decorated and comfortable. Upper patio was so fun to hang out and have a drink in the marina with amazing views. 10 out of 10!!

Clean, Comfortable, and FUN!
Great place to stop overnight with my son on a return trip from the far south to the northeast! Simply staying a dock is always the best; the American version of staying on a houseboat in Amsterdam! Their are 'dock carts' to easily load and make the short walk from parking to the dock a breeze. This is a quiet marina, people are very respectful and friendly without being intrusive. Views are amazing- even in the stifling heat we enjoyed a few hours relaxing on the upper level deck- a great bonus with major photo ops :) Everything is as described- even better in person than is depicted in the photos :) Easy to clean up before you depart- check in and check out are explained nicely. We absolutely loved our stay- it was in itself a special highlight on our vacation :) There is a Whole Foods that only requires a short drive, and many shops and restaurants nearby. Very, very glad I was lucky enough to find availability! All around fantastic experience!

Perfect Downtown Getaway
We own a beach home in the area so are always on the coast, we were looking for a one night getaway so we could explore downtown, see the Battleship with our 14 year old son and take full advantage of reservations at Seabird. The houseboat was a unique option and fun experience...only regret is not being able to stay longer! I will definitely be keeping this in mind for concerts at the amphitheater. Beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything you need. Highly recommend!
