5 Bedroom House in Waves, Rodanthe

Summary:
Immerse yourself in the soothing coastal breezes at this newly renovated oceanfront home, nestled along the pristine Cape Hatteras National Seashore. This custom designed island retreat is one of a kind - boasting luxurious touches that can be hard to find in the Outer Banks. Make a splash in the pool by day, stargaze from the hot tub at night and collect seashells in the morning under the ethereal pastel sunrises. These are just a few of the things that our guests love to do at The Sandpiper.
The Space:
One of the Top-Rated Homes on VRBO!
Super-Fast Business Class WIFI
***December 2026 Update***
Several people have reached out to us to make sure The Sandpiper and the beach are okay, because of the houses collapsing in Buxton. We are very thankful to report that the house and beach have not been affected at all, because Buxton is 20 miles south of the house. The Sandpiper and beach are in great shape.
Welcome to The Sandpiper, your private escape on Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Designed for families and groups, this spacious oceanfront retreat blends modern comfort with timeless coastal charm. With a private pool, hot tub, multiple decks, and direct boardwalk access to the beach, every detail was created for relaxation, connection, and unforgettable memories.
Please Note: For the Summer Months (June 1st through August 30th) The Sandpiper only accepts 7 day bookings, either Saturday check in to Saturday check out or Friday check in to Friday check out.

Summary: We were traveling for our husbands 40th and the house was everything we were hoping for and more. Unfortunately hurricane Erin forced us to evacuate, but Josh was SUPER communicative and helpful through out the whole process and more! There responsiveness was top notch and we will definitely be back and staying at their properties again!
