5 Bedroom House in Waves, Rodanthe

Summary:
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 luxurious touches that can be hard to find in the Outer Banks. Make a splash in the pool by day, stargaze from the hot tub at night and collect seashells in the morning under the ethereal pastel sunrises. These are just a few of the things that our guests love to do at The Sandpiper.
The Space:
One of the Top-Rated Homes on VRBO!
Super-Fast Business Class WIFI
***November 2025 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.

Summary: Great location!We (2 families: 4 adults, 5 kids) enjoyed a wonderful week at The Sandpiper in July 2025. The location is great and has direct beach access. The house fitted our needs perfectly (accurate listing) and was the perfect homebase for exploring the region and relaxing afterwards in the pool and the hot tub. Furthermore, we enjoyed the nearby HOA facilities (tennis court & pool). Communication with the owners was very essy. Overall we had a great time!
