About this property

Cozy Oceanfront Cottage with Spectacular Views!

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 panoramic 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!

Another great holiday at Sweet Tea Cottage
This is a wonderful property, right on the beach. We've rented from these hosts four or five times over the years and have always been impressed by how seamless they make our stays, and how unobtrusive they are. This is a beautiful, charming house. Really appreciate how clean and welcoming it is.

Best stay!
We have stayed several years at both the Sweet Tea and Lemonade Cottage. Each stay better than the last. Kim and Mark are the best and we so appreciate their attention to detail and tremendous service. Their homes are a slice of heaven for our family!

Great location, home and hosts!
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
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!

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 love it here and wanted to have a cottage for our family and friends to enjoy when it is not rented. 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.
