    Enjoy the private pool, unwind in the six-person hot tub beneath the stars, gather around the fire pit after sunset, or relax on one of four furnished decks offering spectacular ocean views.

The house and the neighborhood had just the vibe I was looking for. There were a couple of stores within walking distance, but the area was not overly developed. The boardwalk and stairs over the dunes made getting to the beach easy.

Beautiful house in the perfect location

My extended family and I had a wonderful time at The Sandpiper. Even off season, you simply can’t beat just being steps from the beach. The heated pool and hot tub allowed us to enjoy the water, even though the weather was a little cooler. We would definitely stay here again!

Delightful stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at The Sandpiper in March 2025. The house layout suited our group really well (three kids, five adults) and had everything we needed. It was the off season so the neighborhood was sleepy, but we enjoyed the quiet and unspoiled sunrises, sunsets, and beach and (heated) pool time in between.

Family Celebration

Great location on OBX for a week long family celebration! Convenient to many OBX activities the length of the island, as well as good restaurants within a short drive (Buxton's Orange Blossom Bakery is a must!). The Sandpiper fulfilled our needs with lots of space, both inside and out, an equipped kitchen, pool and hot tub and doggo friendly. Thanks again Josh and Kimberly.

Great location!We (2 families: 4 adults, 5 kids) enjoyed a wonderful week at The Sandpiper in July 2025. The location is great and has direct beach access. The house fitted our needs perfectly (accurate listing) and was the perfect homebase for exploring the region and relaxing afterwards in the pool and the hot tub. Furthermore, we enjoyed the nearby HOA facilities (tennis court & pool). Communication with the owners was very essy. Overall we had a great time!

5/5 Would Recommend

Wow what a house! We enjoyed our stay immensely with such close access to the beach in a newly renovated house. While it has clean and modern appointments in all the rooms, what really makes a vacation house great is all the small details like the turkish towels, board games, and the waterfall faucet for washing off sandy feet in the outdoor shower. I hope we get to rent this house again next summer!

Lovely home and owners who were very communicative and helpful. The living area and kitchen are great, although the kitchen is not as fully equipped as some other rentals we've had. The house also felt a bit worn from the summer season with little repairs needed throughout the house (closet missing, chair arm falling off on deck). We did our best to keep sand out of the house and pool, but it wasn't completely clean when we arrived. Loved the location and proximity to the beach.

wonderful place (easily 5 stars)

Our family loved staying at this oceanfront home. The house was perfect for our vacation needs and very clean. We all liked the layout of the home from the open kitchen and living space which is great for entertaining to essentially having three master bedroom-sized rooms is a big bonus. Access to the beach from the home is great and the home is nestled nicely in a great community. The owners also nicely renovated and decorated the home - great job there. During our stay, we had a major storm come through with high winds and the home was super sturdy during the entire event. We really loved staying there and kudos goes out to the hosts for their quick responses to our inquiries. Our entire group rates this property as 5 stars, well done.
