Fantastic Time!

Our stay on the Sea Ranch could not have been more fun. The location, the house boat itself, everything was beautiful! I was stunned at the interior design and personal touches by the owner that made our trip extra special. It was an unforgettable 50th anniversary experience! Thank you!

Spectacular House Boat

We loved the Sea Ranch! The place is truly fantastic, beautifully decorated and charming. It was surprisingly spacious, with a lovely covered porch area, and comfy living room on the second floor. The beds were comfy too and it was clean, clean, clean. Great for 4 people. The host was terrific too. Our best VRBO to date!

Best Holiday Ever!

Wow! Holiday on a Luxury Boat Home! Nestled in the Marina in Wilmington is the most fabulous community, The Cove. The Sea Ranch home in The Cove community is beautiful and well appointed. Exquisitely clean, this home boasts a great kitchen with everything you need including a top of the line Keurig Coffee Pot/KCup. There are two living areas, two nice bedrooms (one upstairs and one down) each with their own en-suite. We spent most of our time relaxing and enjoying the upper deck that has amazing views of the river and the marina. The upper deck has its own outside bar as well! We felt extremely safe on the docks and enjoyed the close proximity to everything along the Riverwalk and downtown Wilmington. You can walk to restaurants, bars and shows. Designated parking was close as well. So much to enjoy at the Sea Ranch! We are so excited to return in the spring!
