About this property

Welcome to Franklins Tower, a new construction hideaway on Kitty Hawk Preserve. This is a very private 2 bedroom, one bath guest house located in Kitty Hawk ,NC. Whether you enjoy lying on the beach, ocean sports, bird watching, exercising, or the sounds of nature, you can have it all here without feeling like you are in a tourist destination. The Woods Rd., where the home is located, offers easy access to both ends of Kitty Hawk Beach, but also offers easy access to all other areas within the Outer Banks. The pedestrian multi-use path runs in front of the private driveway offering an easy walk to a unique covered bridge or a great place for riding bikes or a morning run. Wake up to the sounds of nature and have coffee on the large deck overlooking the preserve, or enjoy a cozy morning in with an abundance of natural light. The town house style offers 12 foot high ceilings throughout the second level offering a cozy but spacious feel. A full kitchen, french doors opening to a beautiful full length deck, as well as a full laundry and outdoor shower on ground level round out the second floor. Granite and custom tile throughout offer a touch of elegance, while offering everything you need to feel completely at home. Both bedrooms have queen beds and we offer a queen sized air mattress for that occasional extra person. Free Wifi and streaming service included. The owner of this property is onsite offering you as much privacy as you wish, but available if needed at any time. So bring your surf board, bikes, and yoga mat, or whatever you need to relax and let us take care of the rest. If you forget them use mine! I look forward to meeting you. Come see all that Kitty Hawk and Franklins Tower has to offer!

IMPORTANT Note for my guests: This home is designed as a guest cottage. The living space is 700 square feet with an additional 300 square feet of private deck space. It does not feel small due to the high ceilings and layout, but may not be large enough for families with multiple kids. I have spent a lot of time in this space entertaining and I am in love with it. I want you to be as well! Please feel free to contact me prior to booking requests with any questions. I look forward to meeting you- Always Aloha- Dave

Amazing retreat

Franklins Tower was amazing. The hosts were extremely caring and made sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It felt like home. The deck outside was so peaceful, relaxing and comfortable as you felt like you were in a nature retreat. We saw hummingbirds, squirrels, and a baby frog visited us nightly. We had a great time and would love to visit again. Thanks.
