Come visit Eight East (Lower Level) where you will find a fresh & clean renovated lower 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. The location cannot be beat as you are 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 couch and comfy chairs to rest on. The Dining & Kitchen areas have it all. The dining area offers a large table to comfortably seat everyone or gather around the island/bar to dine or just hang! The 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. We also keep the cabinets stocked with the staples, salt & pepper, cooking oils, spices, sugar. During your stay, you have access to a coffee maker. We also provide dishwasher pods, laundry pods, paper towels, and toilet paper.

Our home will comfortably sleep 6 guests offering 1 king bed, 2 queen beds and a pullout sofa. Each bedroom has a flat screen TV with cable 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. 6 beach towels will also be provided. There is 1 bathroom with a beautifully tiled shower/tub combo. You will find the bathroom well stocked with all of the essentials: soap, shampoo, conditioner, and hair dryer. 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 outdoor bar/patio space. Enjoy this little oasis that offers comfortable seating, TV, and beverage fridge. If there are guests staying Upstairs, this space is shared and can be used together or on a first come first served basis.

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.

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.

WONDERFUL WEEK
This beach home was clean, newly remodeled and tastefully decorated, had all the amenities we would want and was a perfect location. We are hoping to return and bring our extended family. The hosts were super attentive. We have been renting beach properties for 30+ years and this is one of our best renting experiences ever!

Beautiful home. Very clean, great location!
Home itself was great. The tenant was very nice and responded to all my questions. Great location to the beach. My only issue is that the beds were too firm for me and the room got hot at night. I would recommend bringing a fan or the tenant put in a ceiling fan. Also, the WIFI was not very good. It kept kicking me offline and seemed slow.

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 pretty easily, so could we!! The location cannot be beat as it is just steps to the ocean and walking distance to local shops, restaurants, 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.
