Sweet Tea is a classic Outer Banks 1950's oceanfront beach bungalow located directly on the beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

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 bungalow features an open living area with an oceanfront wall of windows maximizing the gorgeous vistas. Classic tongue-and-groove paneling throughout, impressive hickory wood and ceramic tile floor, tons and tons of natural light, and ocean vistas from every room. The living room features comfortable seating, a huge 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. Savor 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, refrigerator with filtered water and ice on the door, bespoke cabinetry, charming 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. Appreciate evening drinks sitting in the tall adirondack chairs watching the pelicans soar over the ocean, or perhaps move to the front covered porch and savor the westerly breezes as the sun goes down. SOOO calming! Sweet Tea bungalow 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 vistas 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 bungalow 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 located in Kitty Hawk within a short drive to many local eateries, 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!).

Tricks and tips to get the best vacation rental experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• June, July, and August are the most expensive months in the Kitty Hawk area. Book your Kitty Hawk vacation home in the Fall or Spring to get the benefit of beautiful weather while saving money and avoiding crowded roads, restaurants, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Eve are great times to gather with family and friends at the beach.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The best vacation rentals are booked early. Booking your vacation home six to twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental property.
• Owners sometimes offer discounts for veterans and active duty military. Remember to ask your property manager if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer renters an option to add trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed days as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for more information.
• Look for your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local information, travel guides contain deals for local restaurants, attractions, and tours.

Make a plan and choose your prefectvacation home:

• Select dates and maximum budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family needs. Cozy Oceanfront Cottage with Spectacular Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is often accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property owner before reserving the property. Remember that most listings specify the max. guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's an individual Kitty Hawk beach you are enamored with, keep an eye out for homes that are either nearby, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for the less-mobile. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask the property manager before booking, and study your agreement! Extra fees or charges might be applied to your contract.

Advice for a great stay:

• We recommend storing the manager's information in your smartphone.
• To make certain no damages are attributed to your family's visit, record any problem areas when you arrive. message the host immediately to document any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded problems and contact attempts will be valuable.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a garage door opener, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief text message prevents many concerns.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disagreeable vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Practice the golden rule for common sense. If they like you, locals might even recommend great beaches and scenic spots you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to take kids for a treat, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Lock your rental property while you are gone! Don't let crooks spoil your trip.
• When it's time to leave, take a final walk-through to confirm you haven't leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did your group have a wonderful stay? Many rental home management companies make it easy for travelers to provide feedback. If your rental property and/or host was terrific, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
