Perfect spot
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. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. A couple of the ladies in our party were already looking for summer availability.

Tennis Tournament
My tennis team stayed at this lovely cottage in early November. We used the house as a home base and enjoyed its central location. Thoughtful amenities and beautiful decor make this a home we want to return to.

About the host

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!
