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 bunk room (2 twin beds). 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 had a great vacation at the cottage and enjoyed its cozy warmth and stunning views. This home is so well done: great, higher-end appliances, nice amenities throughout, very well-maintained and did I mention right on the beach! We really enjoyed this area of the Outer Banks as well. It's a bit more North than we usually stay, but we decided to try it and really liked the location. For a nice dinner and great drinks, we recommend Aqua in Duck. Thanks to Mark and Kim for their amazing cottage - definitely deserving of a 5-star rating.

    We’ve stayed at this beautifully renovated old-fashioned cottage in Kitty Hawk for two years in a row, and it continues to be our favorite vacation spot. The charm of the home, combined with modern comforts, makes it a truly special place. The cottage is very comfortable and thoughtfully updated while maintaining its classic character.The ocean views are absolutely stunning—you can’t beat waking up and watching the waves from your porch. We also had the privilege of watching 4th of July fireworks from the porch. This year, we had the pleasure of meeting the owners, who were kind, welcoming, and extremely responsive when we had a minor refrigerator issue. They addressed it quickly and professionally, which we really appreciated.Highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic, and memorable stay on the Outer Banks!

    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.

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beachfront rental on the Outer Banks! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this house was a gem. The check-in process was a breeze, and we were immediately impressed by the cleanliness and charm of the home. The views were nothing short of spectacular—waking up to the sunrise over the ocean each morning was a highlight of our trip. The house itself is beautifully appointed, with a well-equipped kitchen that made meal prep a pleasure. We even appreciated having a vacuum available, which was a thoughtful touch. Communication with the owners was excellent throughout our stay. They were responsive and provided all the information we needed to make our vacation stress-free. Overall, this rental exceeded our expectations in every way. If you’re looking for a cozy, well-maintained beach house with breathtaking views and easy access to the sand, this is the place for you. We can’t wait to return!
