Welcome to Makai Sunrise, a semi-oceanfront bungalow where you will experience one of the greatest beaches on the OBX, and appreciate its handsome 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 pretty 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 huge 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 gorgeous sunrises, and vistas of the Sound - for continued impressive 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.

Strategies to get the perfect Hatteras rental experience:

Sticking to your spending budget:

• The sooner you can reserve a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The most desirable rental homes are reserved very early. Reserving your rental home six - twelve months before your vacation is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to plan and book your vacation rental.
• Summer months are the most expensive season in Avon. To book the most suitable rental for your budget, we suggest reserving in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, better selection, warm weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this strategy to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the Summer months.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property management company or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property managers often offer their guests an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which normally costs anywhere between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance might be a a life-saver if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Hatteras visitors guide magazine when you arrive at the rental property. If your rental property doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local grocery stores, shopping centers, and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines contain money saving offers on nearby tours, shops, and attractions.

Choosing the perfect rental home in Avon:

• Select a group leader, select your vacation dates, and choose a budget.
• Decide how many bedrooms and the configuration you need. Makai Sunrise Beach Cottage 30 sec walk to beach has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always accessible on booking websites. If you don't see them listed, reach out to the property manager before you reserve your rental. Note that most property listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which usually includes sofa beds. You'll need to work out which bed configuration is suitable for your vacation group.
• If your family is bringing pets, you'll need to find a property that allows animals. Request information on breed, size, and type requirements. Some hosts require additional pet deposits and fees.
• Are you visiting for a single event? Try a map search to browse nearby rentals.
• Appropriate accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all necessary amenities are included before reserving a rental

Have a wonderful stay:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before traveling. Save the instructions to your smartphone, and take a printed backup.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a hot tub, television set or kitchen appliance. Contact your property manager. They are there to help! A brief phone call prevents many issues.
• Protect the property owner (and your stuff!) by locking the property while you are out, just like you would at home.
• Record any damages to the rental at check in, and immediately contact the property manager. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are useful if there is a dispute.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, adjacent homes are occupied by local residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking regulations is the right thing to do.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to find the fresh catch of the day, have a great night out, or the best spots for fishing?
• Re-check every room of the property to confirm that you've packed all of your belongings on check-out day. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Walk through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We advise walking through with the property manager whenever you can. If the property manager isn't available, ensure that you take photos and video of the property to record its condition.
• Did your family have a excellent vacation? Most rental home management companies make it easy for vacationers to provide reviews. If your property and/or property manager was fantastic, they would love to hear it. If anything was defective and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
