Immerse yourself in the soothing coastal breezes at this recently 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 rustic Outer Banks.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Josh and Kimberly Heuser

We've been married for over 20 years and have three wonderful children and two entertaining dogs. We were both raised in Columbus, Ohio, but have been living in the Washington, DC metro area for the past 10 years. We love to travel, but as high school sweethearts, we first vacationed in the Outerbanks and dreamed of owning a home here. After many years of working hard - this home is a realized dream. In fact, we named the home "The Sandpiper" for the symbolism of the Sandpiper - to go great distances in pursuit of one's goals. We hope you enjoy it as much as our family does!
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is very relaxing. The beaches are pristine and less crowded. There is a newly built ramp that offers an easy way to get out on the beach from the home. There is also a walkway under the ramp which lets you get to the beach in about two minutes.
What makes this property unique
This property stands out as one of the few fully renovated properties in a typically rustic Outerbanks.
