Welcome to Makai Sunrise, a semi-oceanfront bungalow where you will experience one of the greatest beaches on the OBX, and savor its impressive 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!

Striking 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 beautiful 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 supplied 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 amazing 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.

Booking the best Hatteras vacation rental experience:

Getting the most from your budget:

• The earlier your group can reserve a vacation rental, the better your selection will be. The most desirable properties are booked very early. Booking your vacation rental 6-12 months before your vacation dates is recommended. Winter holidays are excellent times to search for and book your rental property.
• June, July, and August are the most expensive months along the coast of NC. To book the best rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of giant crowds at Hatteras restaurants, tours, and activities.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for veterans. Ask your host or property manager if rate reductions are available for your family.
• Management companies and individual rental owners usually offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed time as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance might be a a bank account-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for details.
• Often, rental management companies and vacation rental houses supply Hatteras area visitors guides which will include coupons, either offered independently by local businesses, or through a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Hatteras visitors guide and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

Selecting and booking your Hatteras rental home:

• Start by having your group choose trip dates and a spending budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. Makai Sunrise Beach Cottage 30 sec walk to beach has 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed types is generally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you book the property. Note that most property listings specify the max. guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds. You will need to establish which bed configuration is optimal for your vacation.
• Are you traveling with furry, four-legged family members? Many vacation homes allow animals, but guidelines and restrictions apply. Type of pet, size and breeds may be limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or costs may be applied to your contract.
• If there's a particular Hatteras attraction you simply love, search for homes that are either close by, or those that cater to your desires.
• Proper accessibility can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking

Advice for your stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, elevator or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call prevents a lot of concerns.
• Protect the rental owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are away, just like you would back home.
• During arrival, make note of any damages to the property and immediately contact the property manager. Keep records of all coorespondence.
• Be a good neighbor! You wouldn't like unpleasant visitors disrupting your peaceful home. Apply the golden rule for best judgement. Happy residents may even recommend great beaches and attractions you would have never otherwise known!
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night out, or the best spots for BBQ?
• Don't leave anything behind! Before departing, walk through the rental property to make sure you've collected all belongings. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Inspect the property a final time and look for any damage. We recommend inspecting the property with the host whenever you can (often this isn't possible). If the host is not available, ensure that you take photos of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Did your group have a fantastic vacation? Many rental managers make it easy for customers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or host was wonderful, they will likely appreciate your kind words. If anything was defective and they failed to fix it within reason, or if the vacation rental wasn't as described, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
