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.

Beautiful Surprise at Wrightsville Beach
This property exceeded my expectations! My mom and I stayed here for a birthday/retirement celebration, and everything about this home is top tier. It was beautifully decorated, super clean, and everything you could think of was included. We even had some fresh flowers and a welcoming gift when we arrived. So sweet! Kelly was great to work with and highly responsive to messages. Highly recommend! I’m looking forward to coming back!

Fantastic spot
My fiancée and I rented this home to serve as a home-base of sorts for our wedding weekend. It checked all the boxes and we would definitely recommend booking it for your next beach getaway! Kelly was awesome and very responsive.

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 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.
