Welcome to Makai Sunrise, a semi-oceanfront bungalow where you will experience one of the greatest beaches on the OBX, and appreciate its striking sunrises/sunsets right outside the front door.

Located in a peaceful beach-front neighborhood one lot off the ocean, Makai Sunrise's convenient beach access is located near the end of its driveway - a 30 second walk to the shore!

Handsome rooms & 3 showers is just the start. Makai Sunrise offers everything needed for a day at the beach - or a sunburned day at home!

You will find handsome bedrooms with comfortable, cozy beds. The Avon Master suite, a sunrise themed room, offers a King bed and private bathroom with a walk in shower.

The three guest bedrooms include the Frisco - a surfing themed room with a Queen bed; the Buxton - a lighthouse themed room with a Queen bed; the Waves - an ocean wave themed room with a full/twin bed combo bunk bed. Three of the four bedrooms include a WIFI/Cable/Intelligent tv.

The Guest bathroom is a full size bathroom with a bathtub and shower. There is also the enclosed outdoor Salvo shower equipped with both hot and cold running water, often used as a third shower by guests.

The kitchen is a full functioning kitchen outfitted with silverware and cookware for the best of chefs, as well as crockpots, Airfryer, toaster, blenders, coffee pots, and much more..

The family room includes three full recliners, a couch, WIFI/cable/SMART TV equipped with all your favorite apps, and over 25 family board games to keep you entertained on a rainy (or sunburned) day.

The Hatteras Game Room and Rodanthe 5th bedroom is currently under construction. Originally contracted with a completion date of February 2024, it is extremely behind schedule with a hopeful completion date of summer 2024.

Makai Sunrise includes three decks. The bottom "Patio Deck" includes outdoor seating, charcoal and propane grilles, and a sizable back yard. The "Mid Deck", outside of the main entrance to the home, also offers seating and a picnic table. The top balcony deck "Crows Nest" offers vistas of the Ocean - where you can experience the most handsome sunrises, and vistas of the Sound - for continued gorgeous vistas of sunsets.

Makai Sunrise is a beautiful private beach bungalow home, not a "event home". Our vetting process focuses on family aligned and other responsible visitors who will take care of our home.

Our top Hatteras vacation rental tips and tricks:

Cost saving strategies:

• In the Hatteras area, The sooner your group can book a rental home, the easier your search will be. The best vacation homes are reserved very early. Booking your rental up to twelve months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your vacation rental.
• Summer is the most expensive season in the Hatteras area. To find the best vacation home for your budget, we highly recommend reserving in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons. You'll enjoy lower rates, better selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of giant crowds at popular attractions and restaurants. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer months. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with family and friends at your favorite beach.
• Some property management companies offer promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Check with your host or property manager to see if special discounts are available for your family before you book.
• Property managers typically offer their guests an option to add vacation insurance protection. Trip insurance, which generally costs 1% - 5% of the base reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a bank account-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local information, visitor guide magazines have money saving offers on nearby accommodations and attractions.

Choosing the best rental in the Hatteras area:

• Choose a group leader, choose your trip dates, and choose a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and the bed configuration your group requires. Makai Sunrise Beach Cottage 30 sec walk to beach has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed counts & types is regularly accessible online. If you don't see them listed, email or call the property manager before reserving the property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds in living rooms.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Make sure to ask before booking, and study your rental agreement! Additional fees or costs could be applied to your invoice.
• Is your group looking for special amenities? Most websites include search filters for amenities. Amenity filters help you quickly remove less-optimal properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or ruin a vacation for guests with disabilities. Confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking.

More considerations:

• Take a copy of the property manager's contact number and arrival/departure procedures for your rental property.
• Ask questions. You may need instructions for a garage door opener, A/V setup or washer/dryer. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many difficulties.
• Lock your rental property while you are away! Don't let thieves ruin your holiday.
• Make a record of any damages to the property during check in, and immediately e-mail them to the owner. We specifically recommend texts and e-mails, as they usually contain time stamps that are helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay more pleasurable. You will increase your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors are usually an excellent source for finding the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can frequently help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to get the best breakfast in town, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for fishing?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, take a walk through the rental property to reconfirm you've collected all personal belongings. Remember to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean out the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Document the condition of the property at check-out. We recommend taking a video during your final walk-through.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on good ratings to compel more bookings. They'll be thankful for your review. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to remedy it.
