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!

    The house is so tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and very comfortable and quiet. There are no neighbors on either side of the house and you can't beat the direct beach access. The hosts are great to work with and very responsive when issues arise.

    Beautifully renovated older cottage. Short walk over dune to beach. Great views. Excellent finishings and dishes/appliances. If you want oceanfront and small, not much better than this one. Good for 4 adults. After that, it gets crowded as you might expect.

    We had a great time! The house was clean, exactly like the pictures and the owners were so nice and helpful! Super easy check in and out! The only small thing we didn’t like was how busy the road was…cars fly up and down that road! Saying that though, we would definitely stay here again..we would just be a little more prepared for the busyness of the road!

    Super cute cottage in the dunes with a sailor theme. Beach was not crowded which was nice. Might be too small for two families as the main room is somewhat small but overall really nice place.

    We both just retired. On an open ended date driving trip. Anchored down here for a week to relax. Could not have been better…. with beach right out the back door. Nicely located so we could access other parts of the outer banks and activities easily. Missing it already.

    This was perfect for two people and a dog. Wouldn't want to try it with more people since only one bathroom and overall very small. Fairly modern, had pretty much everything we needed for a nice stay. Manager responded promptly when we had an issue with the TV (my problem). Very easy beach access. My only complaint is the low water pressure in the shower. Would rent this one again.

    This was our third year staying in the sweet tea cottage. As always communication with Kim was timely and detailed. This was our first time bringing our dogs and we were pleasantly surprised to find dog bowls setting out to welcome them. It's the small personal touches and communication that keep us coming back.

    This is our third year at Sweet Tea Cottage. There’s a reason we keep coming back - it’s perfect! Mark and Kim are amazing to work with, and you can’t beat the convenience of the house right on the beach and central to wonderful restaurants. Book it for your family now - you won’t regret it!

    It was EXACTLY as seen in the pictures. When ever I had thought of a cottage on the beach…this house was what I had always dreamed of! Oceanfront with privacy because there was a slight dune separating the public beach from the back porch. You can hear the lull of the ocean which I so miss back here in Indiana. It was nice to sit on that porch and look up at the stars. There was a nice surprise under the house which we discovered the second day..a very clean and private outdoor shower stall with hot and cold water!! The inside was decorated so cute and everything is up to date and worked perfectly. The bedrooms were perfect for my small family of four. The two girls got their own room and we all shared the bathroom and it worked out just fine! There were games and puzzles and books to enjoy when it was rainy. There was some beach chairs and beach things To use under the house. It was also nice to have a stackable washer and dryer for towels. We had never visited The Outer Banks but we found Kitty Hawk to be the perfect location for us. With two girls who like to shop, having a short drive to Duck was great. We enjoyed the closeness to various restaurants as well because se go out for dinner while on vacation. Getting the keys and communicating with the owners was flawless. I wished we could have stayed anither week! Just a winderful place to stay for a small family!!!❤️

    We enjoyed our week at Sweet Tea Cottage. The house was a perfect size for our family and we loved its proximity to the beach. It was very easy to take morning and evening walks on the beach. The location is great and there are several nice restaurants nearby. Kim and Mark were fabulous hosts and very responsive. We highly recommend this property to small family groups and beach lovers and hope to be back in the future.

    Nice place but if you want to easily stroll on the beach and see dolphins from the deck, this is not it. Pics in the listing from inside of the house show a view of the surf & people under their umbrellas but the actual view in 2024 is a sand dune & a sliver of the horizon. As of today, sitting on the chairs on the deck, you only see sand. You walk down the deck steps into a sand dune, then you'll have to hike up the very high steep dune with loose sand and then slide down the other side to reach a flat beach. Photos are years old, do not stay here if you have any mobility issues. Look up Kitty Hawk Beach Re-Nourishment Project 2022. I hope this can prevent others from being disappointed w their stay.
