Make a splash in the pool by day, stargaze from the hot tub at nighttime, collect seashells in the morning under the ethereal pastel sunrises. These are just a few of the things that guests adore to do at The Sandpiper.

The open living area sits beneath a cathedral ship lap ceiling. For cooler nights, turn on the electric fireplace and comfortable up to a movie on the new 65 inch LG 4K Intelligent TV where you can connect to your favorite streaming services, watch cable TV, or search the broad database of complimentary shows and movies on the LG Channels app. The living room couch pulls out into a queen-sized bed, enabling a total of 14 guests to comfortably stay in the home.

Cook a meal while not missing any of the fun, in this open concept kitchen with an extensive island and plenty of countertop space. Appreciate the use of the new GE appliances, including constructed in air fryers in the oven and microwave. This kitchen is completely equipped with assorted glassware, silverware, spatulas, cutlery, Keurig coffee maker, electric instant water heater, toaster, blender, bakeware, pots and pans and so much more! You’re sure to have everything needed to appreciate meals at home while staying at The Sandpiper.

There are five thoughtfully designed bedrooms for calming and restoration – three of which are master bedrooms – all connected to an ensuite bathroom. Two of the master bedrooms are connected to a Jack and Jill bathroom that has a opulent stand-up shower with a bench, where you can stand beneath cascading water coming from a ceiling waterfall shower. All three of the master bedrooms have ceiling fans, blinds/black-out curtains, and new 32-inch LG 4K Intelligent TVs mounted on the walls for your enjoyment. The bunk bedroom and twin bedroom are ideal for kids to create lasting memories in, and both are located next to a full bathroom for convenience. Each room has its own character and benefits to savor.

There are four decks off the home - one with a cushioned outdoor lounge area which is ideal for relaxing or reading a book, two facing the sand dune and ocean off the back of the home, where you can relax in one of the many Adirondack chairs, while listening to the waves or watching the kids play in the private pool. The last deck is screened in with a six-person dining area and foosball table. The 6-person hot tub ideally located on the top deck to watch sail boats pass by in the distance during the day or star-gaze at nighttime, while hearing the waves crash against the coast. Pro-tip – turn off all the lights in the home to experience pure serenity from the hot tub under the moon and stars!

The private pool and hot tub are serviced regularly. We have also put a couple rafts, beach toys, body boards, beach chairs, pool noodles and crabbing nets in the beach toy bin under the home for your enjoyment. Turkish beach towels are also included in the linen closet for your use. The pool has the option of being heated to 88 degrees, to help make it even more delightful, the cost for having the pool heated is $70 per day. The pool is open from the last week in March and can be open as late as mid-November, if requested.

Follow the pathway off the back of the home to the boardwalk that leads up to a serene beach, which you and your family may have all to yourselves sometimes during the day or nighttime. Cape Hatteras National Seashore is known for its undeveloped pristine beaches which stretch for miles in either direction. There is plenty of space to sprawl out and enjoy a day at the beach. Keep an eye out for dolphins which occasionally visit. Rinse off in the outdoor shower under the home and enjoy a mid-day picnic at the huge picnic table under the home.

In addition to the private pool and hot tub, the subdivision has tennis courts (available Memorial Day through Labor Day), and a lake with a wildlife viewing area where you can spot handsome birds, turtles, and even a couple of otters.

Recently purchased (Fall of 2023) Graco High Chair and Pack and Play are both available at the home and complimentary to use.

There is no shortage of things to do and see in the Outer Banks - from kite surfing, body boarding, surfing, jet skiing, sailing, exploring close by wildlife refuges such as the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and the many sand dunes, as well as fishing - either deep sea, or right off the shore - there is a fish cleaning station off the back of the home. Don’t miss the famed Cape Hatteras Lighthouse which is just a short drive from the home. Upon booking the home, we will send you our complete Welcome Guide so that you’ll have a local guide to places to eat, visit, take lessons, and rent equipment. We created a relaxing haven for you to rejuvenate, relax, play, and more. We hope you’ll consider staying at The Sandpiper.

Strategies to get the perfect vacation home experience:

How to get the best value:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Rodanthe. Booking your vacation home in the Fall or Spring shoulder seasons is our best tip for saving money on your vacation rental. Rental rates are lower, and you'll find a larger selection of suitable properties. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to reserve a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable or unaffordable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules usually become available twelve months in advance (or in September just after Summertime ends). Many families book their Summer rentals during Christmas and Thanksgiving gatherings. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Veterans and Active Duty Military members may be qualified for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property owner or host if your family qualifies for a reduced rate.
• Property management companies frequently offer their guests an option to purchase trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which will generally cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed time as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance might be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for details.
• Find a copy of your local visitors guide when you check-in. If your rental property doesn't have one, you can find them at local shops and fuel stations. In addition to great local stories, travel guide magazines have deals for nearby tours and attractions.

Selecting and booking the rightrental:

• Start by having your group agree to the best dates and a budget.
• Note the number bedrooms and the bed configuration you need. Elegant Updated Oceanfront Home w\/ Pool & Hot Tub - Dog Friendly! has 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our rental home search.
• Specific information about bedrooms and bed counts & types is commonly accessible on booking pages. Otherwise, email the property owner before you reserve the vacation property. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds and bunks.
• If there's a specific Hatteras attraction you are crazy about, browse rentals that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Suitable accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for guests that require the use of a wheelchair. Remember to confirm all necessary amenities are available and included before booking
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly rental. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type requirements. Note that some hosts charge pet deposits and fees.

Some things to know before you go:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• Make a record of any damages to the rental during check in, and immediately contact the host. We specifically recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain built-in time stamps that are valuable if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Hosts are available to help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Often times, adjacent homes are filled by local residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local! Locals can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to get the best seafood, have a great night out, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your stuff!) by locking the rental while you are away, just like you would at home.
• On check-out day, take a walk-through to confirm you did not leave anything behind. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Please make sure to walk through the property one final time and scan for damage. We suggest inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the property to record its condition.
• Remember to leave feedback! Property owners rely on great ratings to propel new reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will appreciate that you share your experience and help them have the best future vacation. Please be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the host could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
