Perfect beach cottage

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing stay at this beach cottage! Just steps from the beach, the location couldn't be better. The decor was beautiful and the place was impeccably clean. The host thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable - ample supply of beach towels, bath robes, bikes, and beach chairs. The host was easy to work with and very responsive. We will definitely be returning!

This was a perfect location for access to the beach and restaurants. The house had everything we needed. The property owner checked in on us during our stay.

Perfect spot for a family getaway

This house was the perfect spot for our family to gather for our annual post Christmas getaway. The house was immaculate and perfectly and tastefully decorated. There are so many areas outside to gather as a family or to find a quiet place for some solitude. We will definitely consider another stay at 8 E. Henderson.

Perfect Spot

Our family stayed in this house for my niece's Memorial Weekend wedding and we made the trip into a mini-vacation for our family. We could not have found a more perfect home for the 9 of us. The double levels allow for privacy and quiet for sleeping children, the outside seating area (both upstairs and downstairs) was awesome, we loved using the grill for dinners, and the proximity to the beach and downtown Wrightsville was convenient. The hosts were helpful and extremely communicative. We LOVED our stay here.

Wonderful spot for a wedding weekend

This property was perfect for a long family wedding weekend. We ranged from 2 years old to 65, and the property was perfect. Well appointed, functional, well located, and beautiful beachy design. We even had the groomsmen lunch on the porch and back bar area....a big hit. The owner was accessible and wonderful to work with.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Thomas

Host profile image
We are Bryan & Kelly Thomas and we are so happy you are staying with us! We currently reside in Wilmington, NC and have been here for about 24 years. Our two boys, Banks (14) and Jacks(11) keep us busy and love the beach as much as we do! We hope you enjoy your stay so much that you want to come back year after year.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love living in Wilmington and the nearby beaches so when we decided that we wanted to purchase a second home to potentially list on the vacation rental market we hands down picked Wrightsville Beach. Because we love it so much and know how popular it is with locals and tourists alike, it made the most sense to buy close to home so that not only our guests could enjoy it but so could we!!

What makes this property unique

We purchased the house in September 2018 (our closing date was actually on the day Hurricane Florence hit funny enough). The cottage looked completely different than it does now, as it was built in 1940 and had been minimally updated through the years. The first time we saw it we knew immediately that it had great “bones” and saw a vision of modernizing it a bit so that we could enjoy it with our family and friends for years to come. We are proud that we were able to preserve the "old cottage" feel yet throw in some modern touches to really make it inviting and comfortable. The location is unbeatable as you are just steps away from the ocean and a quick walk to local attractions, restaurants, and the downtown area!
