Wilmington, North Carolina
Sixth on the Park is just north of Market Street across from Bicentennial Park - stroll to the Riverwalk! Built in 1996 and fully refurnished in early 2014, enjoy the comfort of recent construction while in the midst of historic homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The house has plenty of outdoor living space: a fenced in garden, a screened back porch and a welcoming sitting porch out front for greeting the neighbors out walking their dogs (pets are welcome upon approval). Inside, Sixth on the Park features queen beds in the front and back bedrooms and a bunk bed that sleeps three in the middle bedroom (double bottom, single top).
Extremely close to Thalian Hall and only 6 blocks from the river boardwalk, you can easily walk to everything that makes downtown the place to be: casual to fine dining, hip coffee houses, museums, art galleries, antique shops, the excellent county library, horse drawn carriage rides, Shops of Old Wilmington or the Cotton Exchange, historic tours, Ghosts of Wilmington Tour, haunted pub crawls, Wilmington’s Farmer’s Market (April – December), the Azalea Festival (April), Riverfest (October), the Brooklyn Arts Center, the NC Battleship (take a ferry from Water St.), PPD, Cape Fear Community College, and the new convention center.
Experience the night life and then walk back to the house for the quiet of our comfortable home. If you have a car, there is one private parking spot at the end of the driveway and an abundance of free on-street parking. Wrightsville beach is approximately a 15 minute car ride from the house with Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Ft. Fisher (home to the NC Aquarium) being 30-45 minutes away. The city offers many spots for children: Fit for Fun on 10th Street(ages 6 mo. to 5 yrs.), The Children's Museum located downtown on 2nd and Orange (ages 2 to 10ish), Monkey Joe's, Jungle Rapids, skating rinks, an ice skating house, the list goes on.
Relax and enjoy your stay... Get the best of what Cape Fear has to offer - the cultural attractions of downtown and the not-so-far-away beach!

Perfect kitchen area was able to make thanksgiving dinner for adult family of 5. Living room and sleeping areas was really cozy. Short walking distance to shops and restaurants.
Perfect location for a visit to Wilmington. We were able to walk downtown and to the venues for my son's wedding. If you have any issues, communication with the property manager is easy and simple, and they are pleasant to work with. We had forgotten some clothing after leaving town, and they shipped it to us the next day. The house was clean and had everything we needed, especially a washer and dryer.
Thank you for the use of you house this past weekend. It was a perfect space and had everything we needed. It was spacious and cozy. The outdoor space was a lifesaver given the weather was the pits.
Great place to stay.
Lovely property. Super clean. Super easy check in and check out process. Love the sheets, towels, even beach towels, we had a wonderful stay! Nice high ceilings and wide open layout for family to sit and chat in the evening.
This fit the bill for us. Very comfortable house with plenty of room for us and a wonderful location that was within walking distance to the Riverfront and to the Brooklyn Arts space where we attended a wedding! Very easy to get around and a lovely visit!
Couldn’t ask for much more in a house for our family. Walking distance to a lot of restaurants/breweries and the river walk. Also, A/c kept us nice and cool during the extreme heat. Would definitely stay again.
Lovely VRBO. Easy walking distance to the Riverwalk. Loved the cleanliness and comfort of the VRBO. Recommend it and hope to visit again.
The house has everything we needed and the location was perfect. We could walk to everything downtown. A park right across the street was great for our dog to run around. We were given the check-in information ahead of time. Very easy arrival and departure.
This house it in a perfect location which is by far its biggest selling point. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, an easy walk to downtown Wilmington, a short drive to the grocery and shopping, and a short drive to several nice beaches (we like Kure Beach best). Be aware that the house is on the airport flight path but the noise is mainly during daylight hours and rarely a bother. The property manager went above and beyond in accommodating a last minute schedule change that worked in our favor. The house itself is nice enough. The layout is fine and furniture and queen bed reasonably comfortable (we didn't sleep in the other beds). The galley kitchen is small and awkward but well equipped. The bathrooms are very small and awkward but there are three so you can make do. FYI no bar soap or shampoo is provided. If you visit in cooler weather note that the first floor is cool, drafty, and the temperature generally uncomfortable. Also the water heater is too small. Two of us ran out of hot water once so if you are a larger group, plan accordingly. Our biggest complaint was the filthy floors. We've been traveling for several years now and this is our 22nd long term rental and by far, the dirtiest floors we've seen. It's not uncommon to find floors that need a thorough mopping when we arrive at a new rental, but we had to scrub these floors by hand, changing the water four times (color of coffee) before we finished. Now that the floors are clean, I would recommend staying here when visiting Wilmington. The house is fine and you could not ask for a better location.
We stayed in this home for 3 weeks while visiting our new grand-baby. We loved the house and location. Being just a few blocks from downtown Wilmington was very convenient. House was super comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.
Home was exactly as described. We had a great time with our little family. Park and basketball courts directly across the street were too convenient with a toddler and dog. Neighbors are quite friendly. Morning walks were lovely. Very easy walk into the downtown area for morning coffee or dinner. Highly recommend
