About Susan Mercer
My husband Tom and I live just across the Virginia state line in Chesapeake. He is a minister and I am a 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.
Susan Mercer purchased this cottage in 2012
Why Susan Mercer chose Outer Banks
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 cottage 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.

Another Great Week at Sonrise
We have stayed here for several years and it never disappoints. It's very well decorated, well stocked with kitchen supplies, very clean and close to everything. The owners have done a good job of making this house feel like home. The pool and hot tub are also great. The owners are great people and very responsive if you need them for anything. We love this house and will continue to stay here for years to come.
Perfection
We vacationed with our daughter/sil/ 2 grandchildren 1 and 3 yrs and 2 adult daughters 25 yrs
We were perfect, comfortable.. The little ones are at the right age that they still sleep in mom and dads room.
Pool was absolutely wonderful
Walk to beach- effortless!
House is more than equipped, surprised to even find hand soap etc, which is unusual
Location of unit was phenomenal
Susan is pleasant and kind and quick response. You can tell they take great pride in their wonderful home. I would without any doubt stay here again..
Our family had a great time
The owners were awesome to work with. Listen to them on their food suggestions, they were all fantastic. The cottage is very close to the beach. The pool and hot tub were great bonuses. The kitchen is well equipped and so are the extras like beach chair, beach toys, and pool floaters.
The only thing I did not like was the jack and Jill bathroom attached with the master, but the views were awesome. Would definitely rent again.
Nice Place
Great place - clean and well-stocked. Wonderful location. Owner communicated very well with us.
Perfect Vacation!
This was our first trip to OBX and it was amazing! The cottage was perfect for our family of 5, which includes three little ones (4, 2, and 10 months) and the grandparents. The location is great and so close to the beach and the pool and hot tub were great! I loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean and waking up to the amazing view. There is plenty of stuff already there and available to use. Although, I am now on a hunt for a Pout-Pout fish! ;) Susan was incredibly responsive and friendly and we met her and Tom and they are just the nicest people. We really had a great trip and were not ready to come home. We are hoping to be back in 2016!
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.
Map
Sonrise is located on the beach road at MP 2 in Kitty Hawk.This means that you are almost there as soon as you cross the bridge to the OBX. Beach access is only 200 ft. from the cottage. There are several restaurants close by including The Black Pelican and a local favorite, Henry's. We really enjoy Chilli Peppers at MP 5.5 on the main road, and Kill Devil Grill at MP 9.5 on the beach road. John's Drive-In on the beach road has amazing milkshakes and delicious fast food. Numerous restaurants and shops are located throughout the Outer Banks. A trip to the grocery store is a quick 5 minute drive. Tanger Outlet Center is only 14 miles away.
