Kelly’s place was the perfect getaway!!! Perfect location to beach and town. The house had absolutely everything we needed such as beach chairs, beach towels, bikes, nice shower products, and spices for cooking. Kelly was very communicative and even checked in via text to make sure we had everything we needed and were enjoying our stay!
Would 1000% stay here again!

Despite Tropical Storm Debbie, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautifully decorated and well appointed property just steps away from the beach. Kelly was a terrific host and made sure we had everything we needed and more! Look forward to coming back when it’s sunny!

Our family stayed in this house for my niece's Memorial Weekend wedding and we made the trip into a mini-vacation for our family. We could not have found a more perfect home for the 9 of us. The double levels allow for privacy and quiet for sleeping children, the outside seating area (both upstairs and downstairs) was awesome, we loved using the grill for dinners, and the proximity to the beach and downtown Wrightsville was convenient. The hosts were helpful and extremely communicative. We LOVED our stay here.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had an amazing stay at this beach cottage! Just steps from the beach, the location couldn't be better. The decor was beautiful and the place was impeccably clean. The host thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable - ample supply of beach towels, bath robes, bikes, and beach chairs. The host was easy to work with and very responsive. We will definitely be returning!

Pros: *location, nothing better than an NC beach
*Rocking property, a mini paradise
*Water purification, love my NC beaches. Water is
nasty. You can smell it. Excellent addition
*Beds, nobody complained and it’s not a bunch of tiny bunk beds
*Wrap around porch with fans, great chairs and
Sound system
*Outdoor open bar, beautifully landscaped lower level. It’s a beautiful kinda outdoor man cave. And the landscaping is lovely
*owner is exceptional. And no, you don’t have to bring toilet paper. This is a classy place.
YIPPEE. Outdoor Shower
Totally fun and relaxing gem a few doors from the beach. Two small blocks to the Johnny Mercer Pier.

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.

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.

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to have stayed for the weekend. The home is beautifully decorated, spotless and fully stocked with all of the needs and wants! The homeowner responded instantly with any needs or questions that came up! We will definitely come back to this property!!

The house come extremely well appointed, the interior is lovely and wonderfully decorated, and the location is ideal. We loved it so much and can’t wait to come back!

My family and I were recommended this property by friends. We were in town for UNCW Parents Weekend and rented both floors with friends for a long weekend visiting our college kids. While Tropical Storm Ophelia threatened to dampen our stay, this was a great place to weather the storm. The storm also generated some great waves for our boys to catch some surf 🏄♂️ All the necessities of home were there and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We will most definitely be back!

Kelly's home is outstanding in every way. It is thoughtfully designed, and it is perfect for accomodating multiple families. My parents, my sister and her family, and my family stayed at Kelly's beach house for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. What a special place! A gorgeous spot to entertain, a lovely back deck / bar area with a grassy area that is perfect for kids to play. We loved the porch as well, which convenientally had permanent gates to allow our toddlers to roam freely. There is everything you need at this home, and it makes for such a memorable spot. Not to mention, it is steps from the beach. I would most definitely stay again! Thanks, Kelly, for your wonderful home and sharing it with us. We hope to come back soon!

The house was perfect for a long family wedding weekend! We rented both units and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Only several houses away from the beach for sun and fun, and we walked to Shark Bar for a bite to eat and a few drinks several times. The house is beautifully decorated and well-stocked, but we spent most of our time at home in the beautiful backyard area. A perfect little oasis.

This property was perfect for a long family wedding weekend. We ranged from 2 years old to 65, and the property was perfect. Well appointed, functional, well located, and beautiful beachy design. We even had the groomsmen lunch on the porch and back bar area....a big hit. The owner was accessible and wonderful to work with.

This summer (2022) was the second summer of renting the house for a week. The house is in a good location (about 100 feet from the beach access point), is clean, well decorated and well organized. It has an upper level and lower level that each have a kitchen, an outdoor shower, an outdoor bar in the rear and a wrap around porch. The house has the amenities you need: towels, sheets, kitchen appliances, beach chairs and umbrellas, boogie boards and bikes. This is a fun and comfortable house and I recommend it.

Already planning our next stay!
Hands down the best VRBO experience I have had. Above and beyond our expectations! The cottage was darling, immacuately decorated, in a great location on the island. The host spared no detail to make our group feel at home with special touches for a birthday. We had so much fun, we are already planning our next visit back! Thank you for a fantastic weekend, Kelly!

Wedding Weekend
Kelly's place was absolute perfect for our daughter's wedding weekend! Plenty of room for our family and with renting both top and bottom unit, had a place for the bridal party to get ready by ourselves. Kelly has absolutely everything you could possible need for your stay - fully stocked kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, beach gear, games - you name it! And it's so nicely decorated and comfortable - you can't go wrong renting this place!!

Perfect spot for a family getaway
This house was the perfect spot for our family to gather for our annual post Christmas getaway. The house was immaculate and perfectly and tastefully decorated. There are so many areas outside to gather as a family or to find a quiet place for some solitude. We will definitely consider another stay at 8 E. Henderson.

The perfect retreat with all the amenities one could desire!
First of all, the pictures are accurate in showing the beautiful home, but you don't realize how amazing and cozy this coastal home feels until you walk in through the door. The beds were super comfortable, the furnishings were high quality, and the kitchen had everything one could need. Kelly, you were an amazing host. Thank you for accommodating our group and sharing your lovely home with us. We look forward to many more in the future!

Perfect rental for a family wedding weekend
Beautiful cottage that’s been renovated and updated but still has all the features of an old beach house like wrap around porch and easy walk to the beach. The house was clean, comfortable, and very functional for 7 of us using both the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms for a long weekend. Our toddler stayed in the bunk bedroom and it was the perfect set up for her. Kelly was a wonderful host, great to work with, and answered all of our questions about the property promptly. Highly recommend this property for its convenience/location. Would stay there again in a heart beat.

Update house near beach
The experience of the house is as expected and in-line with the marketing of the property (accurate photos, descriptions of the house and its location, amenities). We had six adults and two children and were comfortable in the house. The kitchen is well equipped, the common areas (living room, dining area, outdoor areas) we’re comfortable and all the installations worked well ( AC, hot water heater, appliances). We very much enjoyed our stay and recommend the property. Thank you.
