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!

The house was amazing. The location is perfect. The beach access and having your own private area was phenomenol. Falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of the waves crashing is . The house has its quirks and 1 bathroom is tricky but doable. The lsiting says theres an outside bathroom but it was locked so we didnt have access. Not a killer but the listing didnt match the amenities. NOTE** if you check in after seaside vacations closes, youre SOL for the night. We got in around 10pm to find there was NO amenitirs package, no sheets, no toilet paper, nothing! With no one to contact adter hours we were stuck sleeping without sheets the first night and had to rush to the store for toiletries, etc. Definitely started the trip off on the wrong foot. Then the dishwasher was broken but no one told us. A mechanic came in without notice and there was a sign left on the dishwasher out of order. Was very unprofessional and a bit sketchy to come home and find someone had been through the house without warning. The management responded and met up with us the next morning. Offered a late checkout as a solution (but not discussed. Only offer). We worked with them and didnt cause a ruckus since the effects are minimal. But still not to the standards expected when spending so much money. Lastly, recommended to take a screenshot of the equip rental money included. When rented we had 35 per night only for it to be completely removed for our stayscreenshot of the rental money pD

Overall this turned out to be exactly what it described in the listing. Great location in a quiet setting.

The place was cute and the inside was very clean.The pictures were a little deceiving as the rooms were very very small. I think we were the first ones in the place for the season as the internet was not on and took a couple of days to have them turn it on, and the dishwasher was broken. We could not open any of the windows downstairs, they were either broken or missing screens. The outside was not picked up and looked a mess.It is a nice place but I don't think I will stay there again. A little expensive what it was and with the issues.
