Great Vacation!
We all enjoyed our stay at Makai Sunrise! The house was located within short walking distance of the beach and had all the amenities we needed for a family vacation for 6 adults and 1 child. We definitely would consider returning to the property in the future and will recommend to others looking for a great get away location.

Makai sunrise beach cottage
Lovely clean home but the amenities listed are not clear as the pool is not on-site the game room is not finished I am unaware of a hot tub and there is no play ground within walking distance. If you have small children or are physically challenged be prepared for a sandy walk through the dunes to reach the shore. As a safety note at the top of the stairs could be dangerous for young children as there is no gate to prevent falling down the steps from the deck. Be prepared with paper goods such as toilet paper,trash bags,paper towels, automatic dishwasher soap. Plenty of beach toys and gas in the grill we did enjoy our visit but I think these things are worth noting

Perfect spot for a family vacation to OBX
This beach cottage was the perfect spot for my family to crash after a long day at the beach or sight-seeing. It's situated in a lovely location and has everything you need to enjoy your time in OBX. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, well thought out and provided plenty of room for us to spread out. I appreciated that a lot of beach supplies were provided so we didn't have to purchase chairs, towels, boogie boards, etc. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach and to the southern portion of OBX. We would definitely book again!

All around great experience!
We have stayed here twice now and both times have been amazing. Everything was just as described and the hosts are the best. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and also are just great people to work with. If you like to fish there’s also great fishing on the beach right behind the house, I caught several nice red drum, and a few big sharks fishing at night. Avon pier is also very close by and one of my favorite piers. We can’t wait to come back!

Great place all the way around and great hosts!
My wife and I just stayed here for the first time and it was all around just a great experience. The location is perfect and everything about the home and property was just as described. The hosts were also extremely welcoming and accommodating, and communication has been great since the day we booked our trip. We already are looking forward to our next trip here!

Awesome place
Location was great. The inside was updated. It was the most kid-friendly place we’ve ever stayed (it had outlet covers, a pack-and-play, and a booster seat on one of the chairs). That meant a lot to us. We’d definitely stay there again.
