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.

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.

Breeze Abounds

We have stayed in houseboats in this area before but two things stand out. First, this houseboat is at he very end so there is not another boat beside you, so the breeze is constant, and the views are unbroken. Second, being at the end you do feel like you are on a boat on that rare occasion when another larger boat cruises by, which is actually nice, as we have tragedy in more interior units where you never get that sense you are actually staying on a boat. Other than these it was very clean and looked great. On the slightly less than positive side, parking is challenging, but if you pack efficiently you can move it all in one trip from a parking garage nearby.

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.

Absolutely Stunning

We loved our stay at the Regency houseboat. The location is perfect with great views of the river. The house is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Our only issue was the sidewalk is being rebuilt causing some confusion with check in and some more steps in an already long walk but the parking garage is easy to access and the community has wagons for transport of groceries or other heavy luggage. Overall we loved it!!

Exceptional location and great house boat

We were there for a short family trip to ILM. This unit is much cheaper than others but appears just as nice. Pictures and description just as they appear and say. The HB is the last boat slip so awesome views of the river, downtown ILM, and area. The HB has everything you need. Communication with hosts was good as well. Beware it is a bit of a walk from parking to the unit but there are carts you can use to haul stuff/luggage. Would definitely stay here again!

Book it!

Don’t hesitate, book The Regency! If you’re looking for something a little different than usual, this is definitely the place. The sunsets from the deck are unrivaled. Internet is spotty, so bring your own hotspot if you need to work. Otherwise, disconnect and relax! Cheers!
