Gardner's Hut: Classic Oceanfront Cottage Escape
Upgrades for the 2023 Season: New carpeting, Fresh paint, New bedspreads, New window treatments, and New decor! (Updated photos coming soon!)
Classic Oceanfront Cottage Don't miss this rare opportunity to stay in a classic Kitty Hawk cottage. Step into history—back into a much simpler time when the incredible ocean views were your best form of entertainment. You'll appreciate the modern amenities of this vintage home and you'll love being able to walk out onto the beach anytime you want.
Downstairs, there is plenty of parking space in the driveway along with 2 carports for covered parking. An outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse the sand off after a long day of playing on the beach. Enter the home through the covered porch on the first level. A cozy living area is the perfect place to gather around with your family and plan out your day. A fully stocked kitchen offers everything you need to prepare a delicious meal and the dining table makes a great spot for family dinners. To really embrace the classic cottage experience, step outside on your oceanfront covered deck and spend the day soaking in that ocean breeze.
When it's time to retire for the evening, choose between one of four relaxing bedrooms. Downstairs, there are two bedrooms each featuring a comfortable Queen bed. Upstairs, you'll find two rooms with Queen Beds and a Loft with 2 Twin Beds to provide plenty of sleeping options for the whole family! All bedrooms have access to a full bathroom on the first level.
Surrounded by Amenities and Attractions Nestled along the beautiful dunes, Gardner's Hut is located near fun, local attractions, dining options, and shopping centers. Just steps away are two of Kitty Hawk's best restaurants—Ocean Boulevard Bistro and Martini Bar (where you can enjoy a delicious seafood dinner) and Art's Place (the perfect location to grab a quick burger and cool drink on a hot summer day). For a fun family outing, challenge yourself at OBXscape Rooms in Southern Shores, bring on the competition at Turf's Up indoor sports arena in Kitty Hawk, or enjoy a relaxing game of putt-putt at Paradise Golf & Arcade. Take a day trip up to Corolla to see the wild Mustangs roam the beach or visit Hatteras Island to the South to see historic sites like the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Chicamacomico Lifesaving Station and the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum. Whether you stay in Kitty Hawk or explore everything the Outer Banks has to offer, you'll always love coming back home to Gardner's Hut at the end of the day!
