Kitch Ayre

Kitch discovered Emerald Isle while vacationing there in 1991 with her husband and their two youngest children. They loved it and bought a vacation home the first time they were there. Two years later, they decided to make it their permanent home. Both Ken and Kitch grew up near the ocean and were excited to be back. She was a licensed realtor in Maryland since 1976, and she decided that it would be much more fun selling houses at the beach. It was a good move for her whole family. Her husband and youngest son operate their family restaurants, “Kathryn’s Bistro and Martini Bar” and “Jackie’s American Grille,” both located in Emerald Isle. Kitch's only daughter Kelly is a graduate of UNC Chapel Hill and is now a practicing attorney in Raleigh.
