Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-10)
Sunshine is a true North Carolina beach cottage designed for easy living while at the beach. Our guests can kick off their shoes after a long walk on the beach and relax on the decks with a gentle ocean breeze. Inside, they will find a great room with comfy furnishings, a large cable TV, and a desk with high speed internet. By the way, the large fish high on the wall is a King Mackeral caught by our son, Alex, off Abaco in the Bahamas.
The spacious dining table and a long counter with stools provides seating for everyone. We have enjoyed many pounds of fresh Carolina shrimp at that table. I have included some simple seafood recipes in the full kitchen just in case you would like to try out your skills.
The master bedroom suite permits guests to get away if they like. There is a queen size bed, a full bath, and a den with cable TV. We have lots of books for our guests. We do not feel a week at the beach is complete unless there are good books to read. There is a nearby library for other selections.
There are table games and puzzles for family fun. The PlayStation Two has games and there are movies as well. Outside in the naturalized yard, there is a large charcoal grill, picnic area, swing, horseshoes, fish cleaning station, and a private outside shower.
There is an excellent National Park nearby honoring Orville and Wilbur Wright and their first flight resulting in the birth of flight in America. Sunshine is located about two miles from the Memorial. There is an excellent North Carolina Aquarium in nearby Manteo.
In the same area, guests will learn about the first English settlers on the Outer Banks. Enjoy your beach walks and leave us a couple of shells as a memory of your visit.
The Beach is calling.

Enjoy Our "Sunshine" in Kitty Hawk North Carolina
Year Purchased: 1988
Why the Owner Chose Kitty Hawk
Our home, Sunshine, is located close to a small cottage we rented when our son was a toddler. The same beach located beyond our home, is the beach I fished with my Dad. At that time, there was lots of open space and a few older beach homes which have long since joined the briney deep. No matter where we have lived, when I open the door at Kitty Hawk, I feel I am home. My family knows not to talk to me on the day we leave to return home until we cross the bridge to the mainland. It has become a family joke, but I really do hate to leave.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Lindbergh is a quiet street situated between the Beach Rd (NC Rt 12) and the Rt 158 Bypass. It is ideal for biking, jogging, long walks, and relaxation. You have easy access to the beach at each end of the block. We have worked hard to maintain our dune lines and the beach access points make a big difference. You are close enough to the beach, approximately 150 feet, that you can hear the ocean and enjoy the soft pad of the surf on the beach. Our home is at the 3 1/2 milepost providing easy access to the rest of the Outer Banks. Golfing, fishing, fishing piers, boating, shopping, restaurants, movies, groceries are all close by. While at our home, there are TVs with cable, Sony Play Station Two with games, movies, puzzles, table games, and lots of good books. What is a week at the beach without a good book?
Owner's Map of Kitty Hawk
My husband, Steve, and I have enjoyed the Northern Outer Banks of North Carolina since we were small children. Some of my favorite memories are of surf fishing with my Dad on the beach in Kitty Hawk watching the sun rise out of the water. We live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia now and go to the beach at every opportunity.
