About this property

Where the Beach and Nature Collide-

Welcome to Franklins Tower, a new construction hideaway on Kitty Hawk Preserve. This is a very private 2 bedroom, one bath guest house located in Kitty Hawk ,NC. Whether you enjoy lying on the beach, ocean sports, bird watching, exercising, or the sounds of nature, you can have it all here without feeling like you are in a tourist destination. The Woods Rd., where the home is located, offers easy access to both ends of Kitty Hawk Beach, but also offers easy access to all other areas within the Outer Banks. The pedestrian multi-use path runs in front of the private driveway offering an easy walk to a unique covered bridge or a great place for riding bikes or a morning run. Wake up to the sounds of nature and have coffee on the large deck overlooking the preserve, or enjoy a cozy morning in with an abundance of natural light. The town house style offers 12 foot high ceilings throughout the second level offering a cozy but spacious feel. A full kitchen, french doors opening to a beautiful full length deck, as well as a full laundry and outdoor shower on ground level round out the second floor. Granite and custom tile throughout offer a touch of elegance, while offering everything you need to feel completely at home. Both bedrooms have queen beds and we offer a queen sized air mattress for that occasional extra person. Free Wifi and streaming service included. The owner of this property is onsite offering you as much privacy as you wish, but available if needed at any time. So bring your surf board, bikes, and yoga mat, or whatever you need to relax and let us take care of the rest. If you forget them use mine! I look forward to meeting you. Come see all that Kitty Hawk and Franklins Tower has to offer!

IMPORTANT Note for my guests: This home is designed as a guest cottage. The living space is 700 square feet with an additional 300 square feet of private deck space. It does not feel small due to the high ceilings and layout, but may not be large enough for families with multiple kids. I have spent a lot of time in this space entertaining and I am in love with it. I want you to be as well! Please feel free to contact me prior to booking requests with any questions. I look forward to meeting you- Always Aloha- Dave

My husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary at this secluded rental. When we arrived, there was a bottle of wine and a nice note from the host. The rental was extremely clean, and there were many amenities.

Awesome place

We have stayed here twice over the last few years and consider this one of our favorite places to stay. We will be back again. It’s located in a private area that’s very quiet. We love the back porch for just relaxing after a day at the beach.

We are 3 ladies who have known each other over 30 years from meeting while our spouses were in the military. We try and do an annual girls trip and this place did not disappoint! Don’t pass up an opportunity to relax and enjoy Franklin’s Tower. Oh and our host Dave was pretty amazing too!

Everything we needed and more

This property was the perfect size for what we needed. It was very clean, and it had everything I could possibly think of, down to the pump to put air in the bicycle tires, when we wanted to go for a ride. Also, I needed some bug spray and sunscreen, but again, that was also provided. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a two bedroom with everything, in a very quiet location.
