Beautiful Cottage

This place was the best!!! It was perfect for our family and the ease of access to the beach was a HUGE bonus! The house was clean and well decorated! The selection of books and DVDs were great too. We loved sitting on the deck and the deck off the master. There were also plenty of chairs for everyone in our family to borrow for the beach along with sand toys and pool toys! We will definitely stay here again!!

Sunrise Cottage in Kitty Hawk N.C.

Everything about this cottage is first rate . The pool and hot tub only added to the satisfaction of the property. The view from the balconies every morning and evening were amazing. The house itself was well decorated to enhance the beach experience. We all had a great time again this year.

Great Beach Week!

The location was perfect! We could walk right over to the beach, and not worry about the 4 lane highway. The home was more than enough room for our family. There were 4 adults and 2 children for reference. The pool was awesome for the afternoons! We did less mini golf this year because the kids wanted to swim instead. Huge win!!

Perfect beach house

We had a great time staying at the Sunrise. Plenty of space, nicely decorated, clean and had everything we needed for the beach...even beach chairs and toys! Beach was right there and there was a lot to do in the area around the house! Owners were friendly and checked in with us to make sure we had what we needed to enjoy our vacation...thanks again for a great stay.

This was our second year staying here. For our family it is the perfect size and location. We like a quiet low key beach stay and this delivers. Easy check in and out. If there is ever a issue Susan replies promptly. We will be returning next year!

Great Second Stay!

This was our second stat at Sonrise, and it was just as amazing as the first! The view can’t be beat! The home was perfect for our family of 4 and the kitchen was well stocked. The pool was great after a morning spent on the beach. The decking has been redone since our first stay, and we loved eating lunch and dinner with an ocean view…much better than you can find at most restaurants! My wife has been vacationing at the outer banks since the 1980s, and she said this home reminds her of those simpler trips with her family, and we are now making those same memories with our girls. We 100% recommend Sonrise!

Perfect family vacation

My family and I had an amazing OBX vacation at this home. Susan was super easy to work with and so friendly. The property location was exactly what we were looking for. Close to the beach and local stores just down the road. The children enjoyed time on the beach and then hours of fun in the pool. We were thrilled with how easy check in/out was. Would definitely recommend this property!!

Great week at Sonrise !

We were very pleased with everything at the house .The house was perfect for our needs. Pool and hot tub added to a great week at the beach. Location was excellent and hearing the waves from the ocean crash in the evenings from the balconies was an experience. All in all we had a wonderful time ! Looking forward to next time !

The “Sonrise” beach house was in a great location. The beach directly across the street was a plus for us. The host was extremely helpful when an issue arose and stayed in contact with me. She wanted to make sure we were satisfied with our stay. The pool was nice and lots of beach chairs and pool toys available to use.

Wonderful Getaway at Sonrise

We had an excellent vacation at Sonrise. It was the perfect size for our family of four and my parents. The pool and hot tub were amazing and the proximity to the beach could not be beat! I fell asleep and work up to the sound of waves each day and it was great. We will definitely be booking again for 2016! Susan was amazing to work with and I can not say enough good things about her and the cottage.

Family Getaway

Sonrise was awesome, it was clean, well laid out, decorated beachy, and the pool and hot tub were great. The location was the best, beach right across the street. My family from Iowa came to visit and had never seen the ocean, this house and location were spectacular for them. The house was so cozy it made you feel like home. I would definately rent this property again. Susan makes you feel very welcomed.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Mercer

My husband Tom and I live just across the Virginia state line in Chesapeake. He is a minister and I am a retired special education teacher in Chesapeake Public Schools. I have dreamed of owning beach property throughout my entire life. Recently we had the opportunity to make this dream come true with the purchase of Sonrise (formerly called Marjo). We have four children-three sons and a daughter. Our oldest son is married to a wonderful young lady and they have blessed us with a grandson. Our daughter is a minister in Virginia Beach. She just got married this fall. Our younger sons live with us and continue to keep us busy. We love to spend time together at the beach and are looking forward to making many special memories at Sonrise.

Why they chose this property

When we began our search for beach property with our real estate agent she put together a list of about 17 properties for us to view. Sonrise was the very first cottage we saw. We both really liked it, but wanted to view other properties as well. Although it wasn't the fanciest cottage we saw, Sonrise had a compelling charm that kept calling us to return. We love the layout of the cottage with so much of the living area overlooking the ocean. We love having a private pool and a hot tub to relax in after a long day. The master bedroom has a king bed and a private balcony overlooking the ocean. Who could ask for anything more? We hope that you will enjoy our home as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

“Sonrise” is located near shopping, restaurants and grocery stores. This oceanside cottage is extremely convenient for a beach vacation. Beach access is only 200 ft. away. An outdoor shower is available to help you rinse off before going back into the cottage after a visit to the beach. A private pool gives you the ability to swim not only during the day, but also at night, and for those times when the ocean is just too rough to safely swim. There is nothing more relaxing than a little time in the hot tub at the end of a long day. The cottage is beautifully decorated and will allow you to peacefully relax and enjoy your time in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
