Sweet Tea is a classic Outer Banks 1950's oceanfront beach bungalow located directly on the beach in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In restoring the bungalow, we have lovingly saved her timeless beauty and refreshed 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 bungalow features an open living area with an oceanfront wall of windows maximizing the striking vistas. Classic tongue-and-groove paneling throughout, gorgeous 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, handsome 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 beverages 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!).

Your family will remember the memories you make at Lemonade for generations to come!

Vacation rental home tips and tricks:

Get the most from your spending budget:

• To book the most suitable vacation home for your budget, we suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer.
• Reserve your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally open twelve months in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer rental homes during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager or host whether your family qualifies for a discount.
• Property managers often offer customers an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed trip time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Find a copy of your local Kitty Hawk area magazine upon checking in. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great information, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on local accommodations and attractions.

Planning, selecting, and booking your Kitty Hawk vacation home:

• Select a group lead, choose your trip dates, and choose a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cozy Oceanfront Cottage with Spectacular Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often available online. Otherwise, email or call the property owner before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the max. guest capacity, which often includes sofa beds. You'll need to establish what bed configuration is best for your family.
• Looking for unique amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to inquire about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Remember to include your furry companions! 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. Ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional pet fees or may be applied to your agreement.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Put the manager's contact information in your smartphone.
• Make a record of any damages to the property at check in, and immediately send them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask any questions before, during, or after your stay.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like disrespectful vacationers bothering your quiet neighborhood. Apply the golden rule for common sense. Happy residents may even recommend great restaurants and places you would've not otherwise known!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Ensure you protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking and securing the home when you are out, just like you would at home.
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental to make sure you've collected all of your things. Make sure to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden belongings. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Leave feedback! Hosts rely on great reviews to drive more reservations. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will be thankful you shared your review find their best rental home. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to fix it.
