About this property
Cozy Oceanfront Cottage with Lovely Ocean Views!
Sweet Tea is a classic 1950's Outer Banks oceanfront beach cottage located directly on the beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In restoring the cottage, we have lovingly saved her timeless beauty and updated her with modern-day amenities. You MUST see to appreciate. And the beach and ocean are literally in your back yard . . . just walk down the porch steps and you're on the beach. You don't get any closer than this!!
Sweet Tea cottage features an open living area with an oceanfront wall of windows maximizing the ocean views and natural light. Classic tongue-and-groove paneling throughout, stunning hickory hardwood and ceramic tile flooring, lots and lots of natural light, and ocean views. The living room features comfy seating, a large flat screen TV and ceiling fan. Adjoining the living room is the dining area with ample seating overlooking the sun deck, beach and Atlantic ocean. The well equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, fridge with filtered water and ice on the door, microwave, stove/oven, dishwasher, custom cabinetry, gorgeous quartz counter tops . . . and just about everything you need to prepare your favorite meals and entertain. Extending the inside living area to the outside is an oceanfront sundeck where you can catch some rays or sit under the umbrella at the high-top table and chairs. Enjoy evening cocktails sitting outside watching the pelicans soar overhead, or perhaps move to the covered front porch and enjoy the westerly breezes as the sun goes down. SOOO relaxing!
Sweet Tea cottage offers three bedrooms and sleeps 6 comfortably (4 adults, 2 kids) with one king bedroom, one queen bedroom, and one bedroom with two twin beds. And don't let the one bathroom concern you as you'll want to take all your showers outdoors in the private, enclosed outside shower with hot and cold water. The cottage also features a stackable washer and dryer, ceiling fans in all bedrooms and living room, and central heat and air.
Sweet Tea is situated in Kitty Hawk within a short drive to many local restaurants, shopping and attractions and walking distance to Ocean Boulevard Bistro & Martini Bar and Art's Place (a true "diner & dive" known for the best burger on the beach!). Enjoy spectacular shelling, surf fishing, sun bathing, surfing, swimming, kayaking, biking . . . and so much more. Your family will remember the memories you make at Sweet Tea cottage for generations to come!
* Please note you must be at least 27 years old to rent this cottage.

About the host
Hosted by Mark & Kim Milby
We have lived on the Outer Banks for over 20 years. Mark’s grandfather built a cottage on the Outer Banks in the 1950's and we have been coming here all our lives. We are in Real Estate and architecture and loved restoring this vintage cottage, doing most of the renovations ourselves.
Why they chose this property
This is what we as locals think of as a true, classic beach cottage. Not the 20 bedroom McMansions being built today. Aside from it being an incredibly charming cottage . . . it's all about Location, Location, Location! And this cottage has such incredible views and the beach and ocean are literally your backyard. We love that it's not so big that you have to bring 20 of your closest friends to afford it. A traditional, delightful old-school Kitty Hawk bungalow perfect for 2 couples and their kids.
What makes this property unique
Sweet Tea cottage is within walking distance to Ocean Boulevard Bistro & Martini Bar (one of the best restaurants on the Outer Banks), Art's Place (a locals favorite serving great burgers for over 30 years and outside seating), and much, much more. If you are a surfer we have 2 great breaks just north and south of us. Or hunt for sea glass and the perfect conch shell to take home as a souvenir. Sweet Tea cottage is located in Kitty Hawk at Mile Post 3 1/4, so you're quickly at your cottage upon arriving onto the Outer Banks and it’s conveniently located to all Outer Banks attractions, restaurants and shopping.
