Cozy Oceanfront Cottage with Spectacular Views!
About this house rental
Sweet Tea is a classic Outer Banks 1950's 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 there. You don't get any closer than this!! Sweet Tea cottage features an open living area with an oceanfront wall of windows maximizing the stunning views. Classic tongue-and-groove paneling throughout, stunning hickory hardwood and ceramic tile flooring, lots and lots of natural light, and ocean views from every room. The living room features comfy seating, a large flat screen TV and ceiling fan. Adjoining the living area is the dining room with ample seating overlooking the sun deck, beach and 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 filtered water and ice on the door, custom cabinetry, gorgeous quartz counter tops . . . and just about everything you need to prepare your favorite meals and entertain. Extending the living area is an oceanfront sundeck where you can catch some rays and watch the dolphins play in the surf. Enjoy evening cocktails sitting in the tall adirondack chairs watching the pelicans soar over the ocean, or perhaps move to the front covered 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 . . . all with views of the ocean. 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 laundry room with 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 Lemonade for generations to come! * Please note you must be at least 27 years old to rent this cottage. * Cottage accommodates 4 Adults and 2 children. * Linens are not included with this rental, therefore, you will need to bring sheets and pillow cases (1 king, 1 queen, and 2 single beds).

Our family visited friends from Atlanta for the week of Thanksgiving, which is our new tradition and we stayed at this cute home. The hosts were great, and incredibly sweet. The home itself is cute, and although small there was plenty of room for a family of 4 (and our pup!). Our friends and their two children also came to visit for an hour once and we weren't on top of each other, which was great! The home does sit behind some dunes (that are SO needed) so you don't have an unobstructed view, but you can see the water and you're a few seconds walk from the water. We hope to come back next year, and for many years to come!

Sweet Tea cottage perfectly suited our needs. There was plenty of room for 2 adults and 2 dogs. Upon arrival it was obvious that the house was meticulously cleaned and was well equipped and maintained. The house was exactly as described online and the pictures really didn’t do it justice. The view from the back deck was spectacular day and night and we were able to gate it off so our dogs could easily be out there with us. We would highly recommend this cottage!

This cottage is so charming and well appointed without feeling cluttered. Our family of four had a great time grilling out, spending all our days at the beach. It is so convenient to take morning walks, walk to and from blanket throughout the day and evening fun. I love Kitty Hawk’s residential vibe yet it’s so easy and close to everything. I’ve been coming to the OBX for 20+ years have always rotated houses, towns; however, I have found my place where I will want to return. I highly recommend it!

House and location were perfect. Very very clean and well equipped. Only issue I had was grilling. The dune has taken over the grill and grilling area. Not a deal breaker, just a bummer.

Our stay at Sweet Tea Cottage was great. Owners did a great job with communication and had everything ready upon our arrival. Kim checked in with us during our stay as well to see how things were going. Cottage is small, but well appointed and our family of four (and our dog) quickly settled in and felt at home in the cozy cottage. It really is a beautiful little place. This was our first time staying in Kitty Hawk and while you have neighbors on the other side of Virginia Dare Trail you don’t on either side of the cottage and your focus is on the beach and that view anyway. The cottage is nestled in the dunes and we loved the view out back and it was so nice and convenient staying right on the beach. We went to Art’s Place for burgers and they were great. We got takeout from High Cotton Barbecue and that was really good as well. The Rundown Cafe wasn’t that good and wouldn’t recommend. If you’re going to stay in Kitty Hawk, I can’t imagine a better place than Sweet Tea Cottage.

This cottage is adorable! The owners did a great job updating this cottage while keeping the historic charm. Kitchen has everything you need including high end appliances and dog bowls for our fur babies. The back deck is wonderful to sit back and enjoy the dunes and the ocean. Location is great as well… restaurants and shopping a short drive and a couple walking distance. Owners are wonderful to work with and really take care of their properties (this is second property of theirs that we stayed at). Despite the weather not cooperating being in this cozy cottage with the fabulous views made you not care about the weather!

My husband and I love Sweet Tea Cottage so much we keep returning every year. It is always spotless upon arrival. The kitchen has adequate supplies to prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner, which we often do. Kim is wonderful to work with and has made the whole process very efficient. The location is great, and you can't beat being right on the beach. If you are considering renting this property, don't hesitate.

Sweet tea was exactly as described and seen in pictures. Having the beach in the back yard is wonderful falling asleep and waking up to. Very homey and quaint. It was the perfect cottage for our 40th anniversary celebration. Thank you Kim & Mark for the special touches!

Sweet Tea Cottage was perfect for our beach vacation! The cottage is beautifully decorated, extremely clean, filled with thoughtful touches to make us feel at home, and just steps away from the amazing beach. The sunrises are spectacular from the deck and were a great way to start our day. The cottage is close to many shops and restaurants if you can tear yourself away from the beach! As hosts, Kim and Mark thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and memorable. They even had a welcome bottle of wine chilling for us, and food and water bowls at the ready for our dog upon arrival. We highly recommend Sweet Tea Cottage!!!!

My husband and I brought our 2 boys (4.5 and 2.5) to the Cottage in early September. The location is fantastic - both for convenience to the beach in the backyard and to stores, shops, and food. The beach is literally across a dune as you step out the back, so it was incredibly easy and convenient bringing the kids back to the house for potty, snacks, and forgotten toys.
The hosts were great, checking in with us a couple times during the stay to make sure everything was going well. We've already decided we'll be back in 2023. Look no further - your relaxing cottage stay on the beach awaits!

The location was absolutely perfect! The house was beautiful and well equipped with everything needed for our stay. Aside from letting us know when the house was ready for check in the property owners also checked in mid stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Being able to walk out the door and into the sand made this the perfect location! Definately going to book this property again!

Our family had a really nice week at this home! We had the beach all to ourselves, the home is nicely decorated and has plenty of amenities for cooking, playing games, going to the beach.

We loved this cottage on the beach. Cannot express how convenient it is to literally stay “on the beach”. The cottage has everything we needed for three adults and our dog. The linen service was an excellent choice. The cottage is close to everything but also private and relaxing. We didn’t want to leave; and would love to make this our vacation destination for next year. The owners are thoughtful and greeted us with a lovely note and chilled wine, thank you for this perfect starter and welcome to your home in OBX!

The property is great. The kitchen is well equipped. Mark and Kim were quick to answer any questions we had leading up to our stay. They also checked in to make sure all was good during our stay. Very nice property with beautiful views of the sunrise.

Wonderful beach stay
This is our second time staying at Sweet Tea and once again we had a relaxing and great time at this adorable beach front cottage. Kim and Mark provide a clean, well maintained, nicely decorated house with anything you could need for a vacation. We especially love seeing the ocean from the house and being just steps away from the beach.

We really loved the cottage and all it had to offer. We were able to bring our dogs with us and I loved coming off the beech with them there were hoses on the deck and garage to be able to hose off their feet before entering the house. The owner had a mat and bowls set up for them when we arrived.
