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

Perfect stay for our first trip to OBX. The property was perfect for us. We loved watching a hummingbird hover by the flowers on the porch. This place feels like you are tucked away from the world even though it’s close to all the action.

Franklin’s Tower is fantastic! Awesome view of the forest and stars at night. We loved watching the cardinals, hummingbirds and butterflies dance around us as we relaxed on the comfortable deck. Dave and Sheli were terrific hosts. The space is even better than the photos. Beautifully decorated, and super clean and comfy. We also loved the electric fireplace when the weather cooled down.We could have stayed much longer! This home is a gem on the Outer Banks. So grateful for the time we had and hope to return again soon! Thank you Dave and Sheli!

Great location, the house and the deck were beautiful. We spent the majority of our time outside on the deck. When it was cool out, the beautiful gas firepit kept us warm. Great amenities, we took advantage of the bikes to ride the lovely trails surrounding the property. I would recommend to anyone looking for a little more privacy yet only 4 minutes from the beach.
