Unfamiliar with KITTY HAWK? It is Located just over the Wright Memorial Bridge in the Outer Banks (OBX). Brilliantly located in a small family vintage "Beach Box" town with miles of beautiful beach and single family properties. Safe and super convenient to shopping, groceries, local restaurants, vet and human medical care; it's easy to explore all the towns in the OBX since Kitty Hawk is centrally located. Travel to the Northern Beaches to find the Wild Horses or travel to the more remote beaches further south. Kitty Hawk really is the perfect, centrally located family and dog centered beach town!
We understand the investment you are making in your vacation, and we want to be sure you are getting the value you deserve. What you see is what you get...well actually what you get is far more spectacular in person! Our pictures are accurate, and we update them as quickly as we can however there may be updates to the decor as we replace and freshen the home continuously. Please also note that the dune protecting the property waxes and wanes from weather events, which we cannot control. There is direct access off the deck steps to the beach/ocean but as efforts to build the dune and natural vegetation grows, there may or may not be a slight incline off the deck steps.
As close to the ocean as you can get. This home sits on the beach with direct ocean access off the deck steps. The ocean views are the bees' knees. A sweet and clean dog friendly beach cottage that is conveniently located on the beach just past Mile Post 3 in Kitty Hawk, N.C. Local dining, gas stations, drug stores and grocery stores are easily accessible.
Travel to the northern beaches to see the wild horses or head to the southern beaches for more seclusion. Explore all the towns, light houses, historical landmarks, wildlife refuges, aquarium, golf, great dunes, sunsets on the sound side or just stay home and watch the dolphins while sipping coffee or your favorite beverage. Walk off the deck and surf fish for fun or for a fresh caught dinner!
The location of this home cannot be beat nor can the tasteful beach decor and comfortable furniture. There's a King, Queen and Twin Bedroom, an adjoining full bathroom (shower stall) to the King bedroom and a convenient full bathroom (shower stall) in the hallway. A full size stackable washer and dryer is located in the hallway and the full kitchen with breakfast bar is well equipped with dining essentials and more. Dine at the table with the ocean in view or relax on the Lay Z Boy reclining sectional and gaze out the windows as the Pelicans fly by. The oceanside deck boasts 2 Overlook Chairs, 2 tall Captains Chairs and a Railside Bar Height Table with 4 Saddle Stools to complete your oceanfront experience!
There is parking for 3 vehicles and one vehicle can fit comfortably under cover (height restriction). A handy outdoor shower and charcoal grill complete the experience. Please note: the sand dunes wax and wane throughout the seasons. You are allowed to walk on the dunes on our property to access the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Saltwater Sunrise/OBX Salt Life
We are the owners of Saltwater Sunrise, the sweetest and cleanest beach cottage on the beach! We believe life is meant to be spent with the ones you love and want to be around and in a place that reminds you that an uncomplicated life is a happy life. Rest and fun are all part of our best life and spending time at Saltwater Sunrise with our rescue dogs completes us.
We have spent the better part of our lives in professional and volunteer positions where saving lives as a firefighter and healing souls as a social worker have become our mission. We have brought our past experiences to the forefront through owning a gym and teaching the community self preservation through functional fitness and nutrition. Relaxing while enjoying family and friends or just being by yourself is crucial to wellness. And Saltwater Sunrise gives you that perfect balance of Rest and Relaxation without isolation.
Why they chose this property
Conveniently located just past Mile Post 3 on Beach Road, Saltwater Sunrise is not only perfectly situated directly on the beach, it is easy to get to and easy to get to all the necessities such as grocery stores, restaurants, shopping, medical and vet care and obx sights. We can watch the sun rise, pelicans fly, dolphins swim and have even seen a seal on the beach with the panoramic view from inside the house, from the gated deck or on the beach itself. Sun, sand and salt air abound which makes this house a dream to own.
Being able to bring our dogs with us allows us to be at home at the beach. It's quite a find and the location, bed configuration and (did we mention the views) allows our family to enjoy living on the beach in comfort.
What makes this property unique
Saltwater Sunrise is the sweetest beach cottage with sweeping ocean views all around! You can see the beach from every room! With historical sights, water and non-water adventures, shopping, wild horses, fishing, swimming, restaurants, medical facilities, veterinary care and so much more within minutes of this beach cottage, it truly is the perfect location for a beach cottage. You can have lazy beach days or fun exploratory days without any preparation. We couldn't ask for a better location or a better cottage.
Kitty Hawk is our favorite location in OBX. Why? Because minutes after you cross the bridge you have arrived! There is no sitting in traffic one way in one way out of town. You have the choice of Beach Road (Hwy 12 aka Virginia Dare Trail) as well as the divided Croatan Hwy to get you where you want to be. Is it crowded? Well, it is a beautiful beach vacation destination so there will be people. However, being in Kitty Hawk allows us easy access to grocery stores, drug stores, gas stations, and all the wonderful sights yet still have the serenity, quaintness and miles of beach just outside our door. Without large high rise buildings and mansion neighborhoods, Kitty Hawk remains a sweet family friendly and relaxing yet convenient town to vacation. The vintage style "beach boxes" keeps Kitty Hawk an OBX gem of a location as well as family and dog friendly.
