***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.
