About the host
Hosted by Amy Smith
Hello fellow travelers and beach lovers! During the real estate boom I saved this little, decrepit 1951 cottage by the sea from being bulldozed by builders that wanted to add another huge rental machine to the Outer Banks. Everyone thought I was crazy and some days I thought the same!
Gidget's Dream had been neglected for decades so I started the long process of reviving it to it's former self. I replaced the roof, the plumbing, windows and the electrical system. I tore out walls and found 2 time capsules from the 1960's! I updated the kitchen, added a washer/dryer and refinished most of the 70 year old wood floors, just to name a few of the projects accomplished!
It has been a labor of love, a serious learning experience in "This Old House" improvements and all in all, a beautiful/crazy adventure creating wonderful place for my guests to make memories.
To add to the charm of this property there is an original 1950's detached Dory boat building that has been converted into a tiny house for me!
The restoration of "Kahuna's Shack" exterior juniper lap siding began in the spring and is a laborious effort of scraping 70 years of more than 4 coats of peeling paint. While the effort continues, the process will take months to finish so an apology in advance for the weathered look of the building. Restoration on the detached tiny home will continue in the fall as not to be intrusive while you are here.
I have lived on the Outer Banks for 20 years and I adore helping my guests find a great restaurant, cool activity, a peaceful spot to watch an amazing sunset over the water or to point them in the right direction of the best local sightseeing tours, fishing trips or wild mustang excursions. I love sharing my little cottage with so much beach history with others.
Due to traveling around the world my goal is to help you fall in love with the Outer Banks as much as I have and to make your vacation as relaxing and enjoyable as possible!

Why they chose this property
Kitty Hawk is less developed than other towns and has more local residents to add to the laid back charm of the area.
What makes this property unique
Gidget's Dream was built in 1951 and has all the charm of a mid century beach cottage with wood floors and a larger lot with trees. She has survived all the big hurricanes of the past 75 years and is ready to take on the next several decades of storms.
