Modern Beachy Oasis! Upper Level, Just Steps From the Ocean!
Come visit Eight East (Upper Level) where you will find a fresh & clean renovated upper level space that is sure to please! Located on the oceanside of Henderson St., this duplex 1940's cottage is full of a long line of Wrightsville Beach history and has been transformed into a beachy modern oasis. Location is key being within walking distance of WB's strip of dining & shops as well as just steps to Johnnie Mercer's Pier! The infamous Wrightsville Beach Loop is only a hop skip and a jump away for all of you fitness gurus who want to get your exercise on during your vacay!
Step into the inviting bright & airy family room that is a cozy space for friends and family to gather. Enjoy a flat screen smart TV with cable as well as super comfy oversized couches to rest on. The Dining & Kitchen areas have it all. The window filled dining area offers a large farm table to comfortably seat everyone or gather around the spacious island/bar to dine or just hang! The newly updated kitchen offers everything you will need for dining and cooking while staying with us! Stainless steel appliances, dishes, drinkware, silverware, and all of the cooking utensils you will need are available within the kitchen space. We also keep the cabinets stocked with your typical cooking necessities, salt & pepper, cooking oils, spices, sugar. During your stay, you have access to a Keurig and coffee pods, sugar and creamer. We also provide dishwasher pods, laundry pods, paper towels, and toilet paper.
Our home will comfortably sleep 6 guests offering 2 king beds, 1 bunk bed, and a pullout sofa. Each bedroom has a Smart TV and device charging station and is decorated with beautiful coastal furnishings that will provide a very restful stay. No need to worry yourself with towels or linens, each room comes with its own set of sheets and two sets of freshly laundered towels. 8 beach towels will also be provided. The master bath has a beautifully tiled shower and the guest bathroom offers a shower & tub. You will find each bathroom well stocked with all of the essentials: soap, shampoo, conditioner. We also have a washer and dryer that you are welcomed to use.
Last but certainly not least, chill out on our large wrap around porch with comfortable seating and dining areas. When you come in from the sun & sand, rinse off in our hot/cold outdoor showerhouse! In 2023, we added a beautiful outside bar area in the backyard. This space allows for your own little oasis to sit back, watch TV, and relax!
If there are guests staying downstairs during your stay, this space is available for both levels so make friends and hangout together. There is parking available for two vehicles in the driveway . Please no parking underneath the house. Feel free to utilize beach chairs/toys/bikes you find in the downstairs outdoor closet.
INCLUDED: Complimentary High speed WIFI, fully stocked kitchen, paper goods and ALL linens, including all bedding + bath + beach towels to save you the hassle/cost of bring or renting them separately.
When you arrive, beds will be made with crisp, fresh linens and complete sets of fluffy towels will be available. At the end of your stay, we have a small tidy up checklist but after checkout we have a cleaning service come in to clean the cottage so you do not have to worry about that! Sorry, but we do not allow pets or smoking in our home or on the premises.
This cottage can be rented as one unit (upper & lower levels combined) for 6 bedrooms/3 baths, sleeps 12. Please message us for details or go to VRBO listing #1575918

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Kelly Thomas

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 and so could we!! The location of the cottage cannot be beat as it is within steps to the ocean as well as walking distance to restaurants, shopping, local attractions, and the downtown area!
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.
