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

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.

A beautiful tree house!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage: it was quiet, private, comfortable and really did feel like staying in a tree house. We spent a lot of time on the deck admiring the surrounding forest areas, which were lovely. The cottage is close to the beach, shops and restaurants, but still felt secluded. The kitchen is well stocked. I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home!

We stayed in Kitty Hawk over the 4th of July and it was a beautiful home! The deck overlooks the peaceful wooded surroundings and it was very relaxing out there… it was my girls’ favorite spot. Dave and Shelli were great at communicating and very welcoming! We were beyond thrilled with our stay. Thank you, guys!!

Great getaway

A spectacular stay. Our host was accommodating and the property was pristine. My family has stayed in many places over the years all over the Outer Banks and while all were good, this place was great. Clean, comfortable, usable outdoor space, not a bug around, comfortable beds, quiet area, easy to access beaches and amenities. Look forward to our next stay. Thank you.

We have stayed here twice over the last few years and consider this one of our favorite places to stay. We will be back again. It’s located in a private area that’s very quiet. We love the back porch for just relaxing after a day at the beach.
