This was our third year staying in the sweet tea cottage. As always communication with Kim was timely and detailed. This was our first time bringing our dogs and we were pleasantly surprised to find dog bowls setting out to welcome them. It's the small personal touches and communication that keep us coming back.

This is our third year at Sweet Tea Cottage. There’s a reason we keep coming back - it’s perfect! Mark and Kim are amazing to work with, and you can’t beat the convenience of the house right on the beach and central to wonderful restaurants. Book it for your family now - you won’t regret it!

It was EXACTLY as seen in the pictures. When ever I had thought of a cottage on the beach…this house was what I had always dreamed of! Oceanfront with privacy because there was a slight dune separating the public beach from the back porch. You can hear the lull of the ocean which I so miss back here in Indiana. It was nice to sit on that porch and look up at the stars. There was a nice surprise under the house which we discovered the second day..a very clean and private outdoor shower stall with hot and cold water!! The inside was decorated so cute and everything is up to date and worked perfectly. The bedrooms were perfect for my small family of four. The two girls got their own room and we all shared the bathroom and it worked out just fine! There were games and puzzles and books to enjoy when it was rainy. There was some beach chairs and beach things To use under the house. It was also nice to have a stackable washer and dryer for towels. We had never visited The Outer Banks but we found Kitty Hawk to be the perfect location for us. With two girls who like to shop, having a short drive to Duck was great. We enjoyed the closeness to various restaurants as well because se go out for dinner while on vacation. Getting the keys and communicating with the owners was flawless. I wished we could have stayed anither week! Just a winderful place to stay for a small family!!!❤️

Once again our family (including our dog) had an amazing time. Sweet Tea Cottage is super clean and in a great location. Everything we could have asked for!

We enjoyed our week at Sweet Tea Cottage. The house was a perfect size for our family and we loved its proximity to the beach. It was very easy to take morning and evening walks on the beach. The location is great and there are several nice restaurants nearby. Kim and Mark were fabulous hosts and very responsive. We highly recommend this property to small family groups and beach lovers and hope to be back in the future.

Nice property and great location

Nice place but if you want to easily stroll on the beach and see dolphins from the deck, this is not it. Pics in the listing from inside of the house show a view of the surf & people under their umbrellas but the actual view in 2024 is a sand dune & a sliver of the horizon. As of today, sitting on the chairs on the deck, you only see sand. You walk down the deck steps into a sand dune, then you'll have to hike up the very high steep dune with loose sand and then slide down the other side to reach a flat beach. Photos are years old, do not stay here if you have any mobility issues. Look up Kitty Hawk Beach Re-Nourishment Project 2022. I hope this can prevent others from being disappointed w their stay.

Really enjoyed the stay. The cottage is well equipped, everything is in working order, and the communication with the property managers was top notch.
