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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at the Lighthouse View going on 20 years and have always enjoyed our stay. The Duplex is a perfect spot to jump over the dunes and fish. The unit is always clean and the staff in the office are very helpful and cordial.

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.

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.

Loved the low-key beach scene with no motorized watercraft, no planes pulling advertising banners, no bars, loud music and partying, just families and friends enjoying time together. Diamond Shoals Restaurant next door was very good for breakfast and dinner!

Cottage was nicely furnished and comfortable, good ocean view (partially obstructed by another cottage and power poles/lines). Wifi was good and reliable. Great water pressure in showers, water good and hot.
Check-in/check-out very easy, didn't even need to go to the office.

Note that the bathtubs in both bathrooms have pretty high sides, and no separate step-in shower - good to know if you have trouble stepping over high obstacles. A few things that could use improvement but by no means kept us from having a wonderful stay: Ice maker did not work, so we had to keep filling up the one ice cube tray available. All of the bed pillows were AWFUL - old, flat, uncomfortable. Remotes did not work with TVs automatically, which was a bit frustrating - we eventually figured out they weren't "paired" with the appropriate TV and we had to learn how to do that. But these are minor, easy fixes.

It's easy to see why my mother-in-law and her late husband returned to Lighthouse View year after year, we were so happy to come back with her this year!
