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 sizable 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, elegant 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!).

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

Strategies for getting the best rental experience:

When to book & When to go:

• Book your rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve gatherings. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Kitty Hawk. To book the largest vacation home within budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll benefit from lower rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular Kitty Hawk attractions and restaurants. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a Kitty Hawk vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your group qualifies for a price reduction.
• Booking websites frequently offer customers an option to buy trip insurance. Trip insurance, which commonly costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any days missed as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs, such as an unexpected hotel overnight or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for more information.
• Find a copy of your local Kitty Hawk visitors guide magazine upon arrival. If your rental home doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local stories, travel guides contain discounts for nearby accommodations and attractions.

How to choose and book the perfect Kitty Hawk rental:

• First and foremost, have your group decide on date ranges and a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and what type of bedroom configuration you need. Cozy Oceanfront Cottage with Spectacular Views! has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rentals search.
• Precise details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible online. If not, reach out to the property management company before booking your rental. Note that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks.
• Do your family pets travel with you? Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Ask your property manager before booking, and study your rental agreement! Pet fees or charges might be applied to your contract.
• Looking for particular amenities? Most rental websites include amenity lists and search filters.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or ruin a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all necessary amenities are available before reserving a rental.

Additional considerations:

• We recommend storing the manager's contact information in your smartphone and wallet.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Keep the property locked while you are away! Don't let burglars ruin your holiday.
• Document any issues with the property upon arrival, and immediately send them to the owner. We especially recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are beneficial if a dispute arises.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful neighborhood. Use the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great local food and scenic spots you would've not otherwise known about!
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can typically point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before you drive away, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Re-check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• Did your group have a excellent stay? Most rental management companies make it easy for customers to provide feedback. If your property and/or property manager was wonderful, they would love to hear about it. If anything was amiss and they failed to fix it in a reasonable manner, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your review.
