About this property

CLASSIC 1935 OCEANFRONT BEACH COTTAGE

Lemonade Cottage is a classic 1935 oceanfront beach bungalow that has been lovingly saved and restored to her original beauty. You MUST see to appreciate. 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!!
Lemonade cottage features an open living area with high vaulted ceiling, true tongue-and-groove paneling, rustic hardwood floors, lots of natural light, and panoramic ocean views from covered and uncovered porches and decks. The living room featuring comfy seating, a large flat screen TV and ceiling fan are there when you're ready for a break from your backyard beach. Adjoining the living area is the dining room with an antique dining table, church pew seating, and wall-to-wall windows overlooking the Atlantic ocean. Enjoy 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, fridge with ice maker, dishwasher . . . and just about everything you need to prepare your "fresh catch" and entertain. Extending the living area is a huge wrap-around covered porch for when you're in need of shade . . . or oceanfront sundeck when you want to catch some rays. Enjoy evening cocktails sitting in an Adirondack overlooking the ocean. Ahhhh!

Lemonade cottage offers three bedrooms and sleeps 6 comfortably (4 adults, 2 kids) with two oceanfront queen bedrooms plus a twin bunk room. 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 cottage also features a large laundry room with washer, dryer, extra storage area and has central air conditioning.

Lemonade is situated in Kitty Hawk within a short drive to many local restaurants, 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!). Enjoy spectacular shelling, surf fishing, sun bathing, surfing, swimming, kayaking, biking . . . and so much more. Your family will remember the memories you make at Lemonade for generations to come!

We had a lovely post-holiday vacation relaxing in this classic ocean front cottage! It was very clean, comfortable, and the view was amazing! We saw dolphins playing in the ocean several times & the sunrises were spectacular! This was our second visit in the cottage & we’ll be back again!

the cottage was perfect for me, my wife and our two dogs. the only problem my wife had was navigating the sand dune and beach as the sand is very deep and your footing is difficult and she has some mobility issues.

Great little oceanfront cottage!
It’s hard to find a nice small cottage on the oceanfront - but this is it! This is our third time staying here and we would have stayed more often if it was ever available! It is perfect for us and our small dog. The hosts communicate with you during the stay to make sure all is going well and even leave you a bottle of wine in the fridge!

Our favorite place. . as the family grows this year we had an 8 month old to experience Lemonade Cottage and the beach for the first time. Cottage has everything we need to relax and owner always available if there is any sort of issue. Clean, right on the beach and grandma can see the ocean while cooking!

Another great stay at the Lemonade Cottage!
Another summer at the Lemonade Cottage and another perfect week (despite the weather). Location is perfect; right on the beach allowing easy setup. The house is also walking distance to restaurants and ice cream. The house is always clean and the hosts are very welcoming. Can’t wait to continue the tradition and stay another week next year!

Wonderful and relaxing stay!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beachfront rental on the Outer Banks! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this house was a gem. The check-in process was a breeze, and we were immediately impressed by the cleanliness and charm of the home. The views were nothing short of spectacular—waking up to the sunrise over the ocean each morning was a highlight of our trip. The house itself is beautifully appointed, with a well-equipped kitchen that made meal prep a pleasure. We even appreciated having a vacuum available, which was a thoughtful touch. Communication with the owners was excellent throughout our stay. They were responsive and provided all the information we needed to make our vacation stress-free. Overall, this rental exceeded our expectations in every way. If you’re looking for a cozy, well-maintained beach house with breathtaking views and easy access to the sand, this is the place for you. We can’t wait to return!

Perfect Place to call home for a week
Our family has had the most amazing week for several years at Lemonade! The owners also have another home called Sweet Tea that we enjoyed immensely! Right on the beach & excellent surf fishing, dolphins, and almost a private beach feel when we go as the lot next door is empty. So thankful for this annual and special place for our family over the years and for many years to come.

Lemonade Cottage
Our visit to Kitty Hawk in the Outer Banks was wonderful. Beautiful cottage inside and out, comfortable, roomy and has a great kitchen if you love to cook. We loved the deck overlooking the beach, it was fun watching the dolphins, sea birds, ghost crabs and the little green anole lizards. Would recommend this cottage to anyone and would return in a heartbeat.

A Perfect Week
This cottage is adorable and the view of the ocean from the house is relaxing and good for the soul. You can hear the surf with the windows closed, in your bed. If watching the shore birds, dolphins, ocean and cloud patterns is a big part of why you seek the beach and you do not have a huge group needing more space, Lemonade Cottage is a great choice. The deck is relatively new and surrounds the house so there is always a place to relax out of the elements. It was a perfect week, just as anticipated. Thank you Kim and Mark for your hospitality and attention to detail.

The Quintessential Oceanfront Vacation
The Lemonade Cottage literally has everything you're looking for in a beach vacation. Your backyard is the sand and ocean while the cottage is vintage with all of the modern amenities. The Lemonade Cottage is what you would read about in a novel minus the fiction piece. The owner is personable much like a friend and cares whether your vacation is enjoyable. My husband rated it an 11 out of 10 and I concur!!!!!

Lemonade Cottage
This cottage is charming and the ocean view was absolutely the best we could have hoped for. The decor fit the cozy ‘30s-era with beautiful antiques. Our hosts made us feel very welcome. They were available if we needed anything but totally respected our privacy. Our ONLY regret about our stay was the need for more comfortable indoor seating. The sofa cushions compressed too much while sitting causing us to slouch constantly. We aren’t large people. Everything else about our stay at Lemonade Cottage was wonderful!

Family Spring Break Vacation 2024
Perfect! The one word to describe the Lemonade Cottage. It was exactly what I was looking for in a beach front cottage. Our family loved this house. All the modern amenities in an updated, cozy 1930s rustic style OBX beach cottage. The house was amazing. I woke up with the sunrise every morning, and would go sit out on the deck and have coffee. The house was only a couple steps from the beach. Not one issue whatsoever. The owners had great communication and were very kind. This location in Kitty Hawk was easily accessible to many stores, restaurants and other activities. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to enjoy a beachside vacation. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Oceanside escape
Could not have asked for a better place to hide away for a family getaway. The weather didn’t cooperate but it didn’t matter - there is no bad day when you’re staring off at the ocean. The house was perfect for our 3 boys - bunk beds and lots of room to roam. Kim and Mark are amazing hosts - making us feel incredibly welcome (greeting us with the kindest note and a bottle of wine). Could not have asked for a better experience.

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Kim Milby

Host profile image
We have lived on the Outer Banks for over 20 years. My grandfather built a cottage on the outer banks in the 1950's and we have been coming here all our lives. We love it here and wanted to have a cottage for our family and friends to enjoy when it is not rented. We are in Real Estate and architectural design and loved bringing this cottage back to life when we bought it. We hope you will love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This is what we as locals think of as a true, classic beach cottage. Not the 20 bedroom McMansions being built today. Aside from the incredibly charming cottage it's all about Location, Location, Location! And this cottage has such incredible views and the beach and ocean are literally your backyard. We love that it's not so big that you have to bring 20 of your closest friends to afford it. A traditional, delightful old-school Kitty Hawk bungalow perfect for 2 couples and their kids.

What makes this property unique

Lemonade cottage is within walking distance to Ocean Boulevard Bistro & Martini Bar (one of the best restaurants on the Outer Banks), Art's Place (a locals favorite serving great burgers for over 30 years and outside seating), and much, much more. If you are a surfer we have 2 great breaks just north and south of us. Or enjoy hunting for sea glass and the perfect conch shell to take home as a souvenir. Lemonade cottage is located in Kitty Hawk at Mile Post 2 1/4, so you're quickly at your cottage upon arriving on the Outer Banks.
It is conveniently located to all Outer Banks attractions, restaurants and shopping.
