About this property

Ocean View, Well Appointed Home. Pet & hot tub fees included in price!

Please take a minute to read about The Piper's Nest...:)

(SEE OUR TWO VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT SHOW THE HOUSE LAYOUT! SEARCH FOR: Tour of "the piper's nest" part one and Tour of "the piper's nest" part two... posted by Tracy Blowers.)

Wake up every morning and drink your beverage of choice while enjoying a glorious ocean view! Three of our five bedrooms offer an ocean view (moms and dads claim those!), while our entire, sunny, window filled Great Room offers the same spectacular option.

Step onto the wrap around deck to enjoy, the sight, sounds and smell of the ocean! A quick change into swimsuits and you can enjoy it all from the hot tub!

Our home is the perfect option - all of the benefits of "ocean view" without getting overwhelmed by the crowd and the traffic! How far away is the ocean? Less than five minutes. It's really close!

A big kitchen with a large snack bar, where fabulous food & drinks can be enjoyed while you chat with friends and family. We have a fully stocked kitchen, beach chairs, games, cards, books - whatever you need to relax, it's here. There is a washer and dryer at the house as well (not that you want to do laundry, but you can. :). Enjoy our nearly 3,000 square foot space to spread out at night and connect during the day. Sun, Ocean, Great Food & Beverage of Choice = Relaxation!

NOTE: IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU HAVE A 4WD VEHICLE so you can easily drive to our home. Our home is on Carova Beach, which is the perfect oasis - far enough away from the downtown OBX craziness without being too far away if you want to experience the crazy! Carova Beach is also a Wild Horse Preserve, so plan on seeing plenty of wild horses during your stay!

We have a three day minimum in the off season; minimum 7 day stay during the summer season.

It's a 7 mile drive down the beach - not a bad commute with a view like that! If you don't want to drive on the beach, there are other options to get you there (i.e. you can use a "park & ride" service to and from the house - there are fees associated with that. I can provide more info for you, if you'd like).

We will give you more information in our "Welcome" letter on tips & tricks for driving on the beach, as well as what we have at the house and what you may want to bring. And, please, reach out to us with any questions. We're here to make your stay just what you need it to be so you can relax and recharge.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy L Blowers

Host profile image
We are Gerry & Tracy from upstate NY. We are a blended family with six children of varying ages between us - and one grand baby! We fell in love with Carova Beach last year (on our first visit!) and ended up buying Sandpiper this year. It's become a project of love for us, trying to make it even more welcoming and inviting than it already is. When we go down to Sandpiper, even though we might be doing a lot of work, we feel like we are on vacation. We feel relaxed in a way that we typically don't. We want all of our guests to feel that way to and, if something is missing that would make it better for you, we always want to know that as well!

What makes this property unique

Carova Beach 4X4 is a Wild Horse Sanctuary for Colonial Spanish Mustangs. Wild horses have a very different diet from domesticated animals. Fruits and vegetables can cause serious injury or even death to the horses, so it is illegal to feed them That said, admiring the horses from a distance is its own reward, and the photos that can be snapped of a small herd wandering along the ocean wash, or grazing lightly in the sand dunes, or moseying up to your window, are easily the most treasured souvenirs of any Outer Banks vacation!
