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 of luxurious touches that can be hard to find in the rustic Outer Banks. Make a splash in the pool by day, stargaze from the hot tub at night, collect seashells in the morning under the ethereal pastel sunrises. These are just a few of the things we love 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 cozy up to a movie on the new 65 inch LG 4K Smart TV where you can connect to your favorite streaming services, watch cable television, or search the extensive database of free 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 expansive island and plenty of countertop space. Enjoy the use of the new GE appliances, including built in air fryers in the oven and microwave. This kitchen is fully equipped with assorted glassware, silverware, spatulas, cutlery, Keurig coffee maker, electric water heater, toaster, blender, bake-ware, pots and pans and so much more! You’re sure to have everything needed to enjoy meals at home while staying at The Sandpiper.
Between the large dining room table and the adjoining upper-level deck - all 14 guests can share a meal in the same space.
There are five thoughtfully designed bedrooms for relaxing 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 luxurious stand-up shower, 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 Smart TVs mounted on the walls for your enjoyment. The bunk bedroom and twin bedroom are perfect for kids to create lasting memories in, and both are situated next to a full bathroom for convenience. Each room has its own character and benefits to enjoy.
There are four decks off the home - one with a cushioned outdoor lounge area perfect 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 perfectly situated on the top deck to watch sail boats pass by in the distance during the day or star-gaze at night, while hearing the waves crash against the coast. Pro-tip – turn off all the lights in the house 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, boogie boards, beach chairs, pool noodles and crabbing nets in the beach toy bin under the house for your enjoyment. Turkish beach towels are also provided in the linen closet for your use. The pool has the option of being heated to 88 degrees, to help make it even more enjoyable, 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 night. 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 large 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 beautiful 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 house and free to use.
There is no shortage of things to do and see in the Outer Banks - from kite surfing, boogie boarding, surfing, jet skiing, sailing, exploring nearby 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 famous 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 peaceful haven for you to rejuvenate, relax, play, and more. We hope you’ll consider staying at The Sandpiper.
