Close to beach. Nice closed in deck. Floorboard on deck needs fixed. It is sagging and the right sized person will break through it. Living room furniture is very uncomfortable

Shabby Chic
The property is in need of a reno. The porch, deck and stairs are not as safe as they could be with soft boards etc. The items in the house had everything you would need and put together in a cute way. Location and access to the beach was great. The rental company needs to start using Google Docs or some sort of online doc service. I had to print out sign everything and hand mail them in. Also glad to see you had a key code so why did I need to stop at office for papers?

Great location, dog friendly
We had a great experience staying at this property. The house location is perfect for beach lovers with a very short walk to the beach. If you're looking for luxury, look elsewhere but if you're looking for a relaxed, no worry spot close to the beach, this is it!! Yes the house needs a few repairs (screen door was ripped, hole in wall of middle bedroom, stains on the rug, scratches on wooden floor) but those are minor and what a lived in house looks like. We loved that it is dog friendly and has a decent size deck that our pups could sunbathers on. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would most definitely stay there again.

Sandpiper
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Like the closeness to to beach and the proximity of things around us. Good location if taking day trips up to Currituck or down to Ocracoke. Very clean when we arrived. Loved the porch. Wish it had central air but the window units were fine. Liked that it was dog friendly

Sandpiper Cottage is our fave!
We spent a wonderful week of 5/21-5/29 at the cottage. It was adorable and had everything we needed to feel right at home! The very short walk to the beach and the sound of waves crashing from the screened in porch made for relaxing mornings and evenings. Loved being able to enjoy the sunsets as well with the wraparound porch. We will most definitely return!

Sweet Rustic Small Beach House
This was the perfect little house for my cousin and me and her two little pug dogs.
We loved the kitchen. We ate all of our meals at the house. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed.
The closest beach access was a bit narrow for us. We used the public beach access about a block away. We loaded my beach cart and walked along the main road to the beach access. That was much easier for us two old broads!! 😊
We loved this place and we plan to return next year.

Just what we needed
First impression on this property wasn't the best but it grew on us. There was a strong dog smell from the previous tenants probably... Especially on the porch but it seemed to disappear as the week went on. I'd say it's smaller than it appears in the pictures but it was more than enough space for a couple and our dog. We ended up taking up two rooms one for our stuff and one to sleep in. We also ended up using the hallway full shower instead of the master bath both were tight spaces. I really enjoyed the screened porch which I didn't realize the property had.
Kitchen- we didn't cook at all. We ate out and packed sandwiches. We only used the microwave to warm up food.
Parking is tight- we had a large truck it barely fit under the porch. If the neighbors had more cars it would've been nearly impossible. I'd say two cars are max unless someone has a small car. The road/ditch leading to the property flooded most of our week not sure if this is a normal thing or not. It didn't seem to effect the neighbors cars though.
Beach- short walk! uphill/downhill. Narrow path. Not too crowded in late August. You cannot view it from the house but you can hear it.
Pro tip- pay to check in early if you plan to drive down early. I wish we did that we had a lot of time to burn before we could get in.
Also, bring bath mats and if you're a germaphobe sheets to cover the older couches.
The rental agency was great to deal with when we decided to extend our stay through the weekend. Although we had to drive all the way back north to resign a new lease.
Really close to the outlets, groceries and beach stores as well as great dining (driving distance)! I recommend Sam and omies for breakfast, tale of the whale for dinner, and fish heads for drinks on the pier.
To sum it up- The sand Piper is sweet and simple. A place to rest and shower with quick beach access if you're not too picky.
We may consider staying here again. I should note that beach access was most important to us.. and we also booked late so our options were limited.

Its on the beach..thats what you pay for
This house is 50 feet from the beach..thats what you pay for...the house itself is not good...in window aur conditioners are loud, extremely loud. The netting on the porch is falling apart. The house itself is just old and bare...with that said the location is Prime..its right on the beach, which was very important for us..the beach there is excellent
