Historic Beach Cottage 700ft to ocean #singlestory
This is a true {mid-century modern} historic and classic cottage. It was built in 1956 by Frank Stick. Frank was a local artist and developer and started the “flat-top” movement in Southern Shores. We have worked hard to modernize this classic and bring it back to life with some fun twists! The porch is our favorite feature. It is 1200 sq feet of screened in, relaxing bliss. Outside family dinners and corn hole tournaments are our family’s way of relaxing at this sweet cottage!

Kitty Hawk is a great central location on the Outer Banks with shopping and restaurants. We provide beach chairs and umbrella for your use.
