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 (16) and Jacks(13) 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!

In 2025, we purchased a 56 ft Absolute yacht, NAUTORIOUS, that we charter out for day cruises in the Wrightsville Beach area. We are now excited to offer exclusively to our Eight East guests the opportunity to take their stay to the next level and are extending a preferred discounted rate to charter during their stay.
