About this property

CLASSIC 1935 OCEANFRONT BEACH COTTAGE

Lemonade Cottage is a classic 1935 oceanfront beach bungalow that has been lovingly saved and restored to her original beauty with lots of upgraded amenities. You MUST see to appreciate. The beach and ocean are literally in your back yard . . . just walk down the porch steps and you're there. You don't get any closer than this!!
Lemonade cottage features an open living area with high vaulted ceiling, true tongue-and-groove paneling, rustic hardwood floors, lots of natural light, and panoramic ocean views from covered and uncovered porches and decks. The living room features comfy seating, a large flat screen TV and ceiling fan. Adjoining the living area is the dining room with an antique dining table, church pew seating, and wall-to-wall windows overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Enjoy your morning coffee watching the dolphins play in the surf and the sun rise on the Atlantic . . . you'll never want to get out of your PJ's.
The well equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, fridge with water and ice maker, dishwasher, microwave . . . and just about everything you need to prepare your "fresh catch" and entertain. Extending the inside living area to the outside is a huge wrap-around covered porch for when you're in need of some shade . . . as well as an oceanfront sundeck when you want to catch some rays. Enjoy evening cocktails sitting in the Adirondacks or the high-top table and chairs overlooking the ocean. Ahhhh!

Lemonade cottage offers three bedrooms and sleeps 6 comfortably (4 adults, 2 kids) with two oceanfront queen bedrooms plus a twin bunk room. 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 large laundry room with washer, dryer, extra storage area and has central air conditioning.

Lemonade is situated in Kitty Hawk within a short drive to many local restaurants, shopping and attractions and is 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 Lemonade for generations to come!

We absolutely love this house and have stayed here many times. The location is perfect — close to everything yet quiet and relaxing. The home is always spotless when we arrive, and the host is consistently friendly and responsive, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. It's become our go-to place, and we can't wait to return again!

Lemonade Cottage

The cottage was more than I expected! It is the perfect vintage beach cottage like in the movies. The home is updated but with a good ol’ comfortable feel. I loved it. The beach is so close with a view from almost every corner of the property. Kim and Mark kept in touch the entire time just checking to make sure there was nothing that needed attention. It was a great week and I loved every minute at the Lemonade Cottage.

Great little oceanfront cottage!

It’s hard to find a nice small cottage on the oceanfront - but this is it! This is our third time staying here and we would have stayed more often if it was ever available! It is perfect for us and our small dog. The hosts communicate with you during the stay to make sure all is going well and even leave you a bottle of wine in the fridge!

Been coming to Kitty Hawk over 30 years, first time beachfront. Absolutely perfect, everything we needed was there and new deck was incredible. Kim and Mark were excellent hosts and made sure everything was right for us, and that we felt like valuable and welcome guests.

Another great Kim and Mark Property

My Wife and I have stayed at 3 of Kim And Mark's properties and this is our favorite. This is our second stay at Lemonade Cottage. The only suggestion we have, is it would nice to have a set of stairs from the rear of the deck to the beach.

Beautifully restored cottage with all modern amenities. Owners thought of everything. They were quick to respond to any questions we had prior to our arrival. And kept us informed about the arrival of Tropical storm Ophelia. Thoroughly enjoyed our week. Looking forward to renting again.

The Quintessential Oceanfront Vacation

The Lemonade Cottage literally has everything you're looking for in a beach vacation. Your backyard is the sand and ocean while the cottage is vintage with all of the modern amenities. The Lemonade Cottage is what you would read about in a novel minus the fiction piece. The owner is personable much like a friend and cares whether your vacation is enjoyable. My husband rated it an 11 out of 10 and I concur!!!!!

A Perfect Week

This cottage is adorable and the view of the ocean from the house is relaxing and good for the soul. You can hear the surf with the windows closed, in your bed. If watching the shore birds, dolphins, ocean and cloud patterns is a big part of why you seek the beach and you do not have a huge group needing more space, Lemonade Cottage is a great choice. The deck is relatively new and surrounds the house so there is always a place to relax out of the elements. It was a perfect week, just as anticipated. Thank you Kim and Mark for your hospitality and attention to detail.

Everything you need for an on the beach vacation.

We loved the cottage. It’s right on the beach. Got to see a beautiful sunrise every morning from our bed or with an early morning walk on the beach .( Depending how much fun you have the night before!)Just up over a small natural sand dune. 5 star cleanliness, all necessary home amenities you need . Just brought our linens but you can request they be there already. We don’t know the price for that. They are very responsive and friendly.Fits four adults comfortably . Nice bunk room for 2 kids though. The 2 other bed rooms are pretty small but I thought if there were some wall shelves that would help with all the stuff us girls like to bring on vacation. It worked though.No other houses to block your view of the beautiful ocean was great sitting on the newly built wrap around deck . The deck has complete shade if you prefer and the very front deck facing the ocean has all sun. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Kim Milby

Host profile image
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 architectural design and loved bringing this cottage back to life when we bought it. We hope you will love it as much as we do.

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

Lemonade 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 enjoy hunting for sea glass and the perfect conch shell to take home as a souvenir. Lemonade cottage is located in Kitty Hawk at Mile Post 2 1/4, so you're quickly at your cottage upon arriving on the Outer Banks.
It is conveniently located to all Outer Banks attractions, restaurants and shopping.
