Last minute trip
Nice place closer to the ocean than we expected. Great local restaurants.
Sunrise cottage is spacious and comfortable for a family. The upstairs is open plan with a nicely sized kitchen and dining area, and living room that features a view out to the beach and ocean, as well as decks off the living room and main bedroom. So having a rainy day where everyone’s inside can still be a good experience here! When the suns up, walk right out to any spot you want on the beach, or a short drive to the lighthouse. Grocery and restaurants are close by. All in all the place is no frills, showing a little age, but is well kept and I would definitely recommend.
Only things I wish I knew in advance: there are no beach items like you often find in a private rental, such as chairs or other amenities for guest use. The kitchen is not stocked with even the most basic of basics (like sugar for coffee) either. But that was easy enough to work around.

Relaxing but needs updated.
Great location! The cleaning was ok, found a used bandaid and some trash under my daughters bed. There are several things that need to be fixed. The ice machine doesn't work, pillows are awful, the grill was falling apart, and there is a hole in one of the bathroom doors. I loved the views of the ocean from the house and all of the natural light. The beach was really clean without a ton of people right up on you. The pool and hot tub was nice and clean.

Great spot
The location was exactly as described, just a few steps from the beach. We had neighbors but not too close. The home was bright, airy and very clean. Bedrooms were good size, bathrooms were large, kitchen was open. A/C worked great. No wweird house noises. The simple check in process was much appreciated after a long drive. We enjoyed our visit to OBX and would stay here again. PS need a new can opener.
