Great house, great location and great weather! House had everything we needed. Well supplied kitchen. Very nicely decorated. Great house for a few friends or a small family. Only thing I might recommend would be a key pad entry...have to pick up keys at realty company.

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.

Reviewer Comments:
The location was fantastic, home needs some work. The good - close to the beach, great location for young children. Easy access to Roanoke, bait shops, piers, and oregon inlet. Beach was lovely. Had everything needed for cookware, garage had toys, boogie boards, and extra beach chairs if you didn't bring your own. Ample storage space if the weather is bad and you want to keep things dry. Parking for 2-3 cars if needed.The Bad - AC units are loud but liveable. Floor in the main bathroom is soft, bouncy, and some of the vynal tiles are coming up. Washer only works on hot water and the sign saying management knows isn't very useful as we should have been told ahead of time. Dryer also needs to be replaced as we had to run it through multiple times to dry small loads. Fridge and freezer door doesn't seal properly and if you're not careful you could end up leaving the fridge door or freezer door open, luckily we noticed it right away. When we arrived we needed to vacuum the floors and furniture as it was covered in sand and previous dog hair. The most frustrating thing was that there was no working long hose outside, the one we found was broken and the house is completely surrounded by sand. Rinsing off beach stuff and fishing equipment was basically impossible.Overall the location makes this property returnable but it certainly needs some updates. It's good for a family of 4. Any more people than that and it would be tight, especially if you're stuck inside due to some weather. I would probably return to the property again in a pinch due to the location.

The house is amazing BUT i had to deep clean when i arrived. i found shards of glass in the carpet and the dust was really bad! Not to mention the pet hair. We brought a dog that does not shed but ended up being covered in dog hair. the couches need to be properly cleaned. You should consider a new cleaning service.

Reviewer Comments:
Our family of four plus golden retriever thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at the Sandpiper Cottage. We felt right at home with the updated furnishings and we appreciated the themed bedrooms and beach sentiment signs throughout the house. Our favorite aspects were the super close proximity to the beach and the screened in porch. Only drawbacks were the somewhat noisy window A/C boxes (can interfere with sleep if you’re not used to this) and the hall bath is in desperate need of a new toilet seat. Overall we had a spectacular week staying S Nags Head and are grateful for the use of this beach cottage.

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?

We loved this house and our stay in Nags Head. It was just perfect for my family and we so loved that we were so close to the beach so that we could go back and forth as we wanted to. The house was comfortable and perfectly decorated. The location was close to downtown shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. We had a magical time and will be returning.

The house was perfect for us! We enjoyed the deck every morning with coffee and chilling after a early morning walk on the beach with our dogs. The garage offered extra space to store our bikes and beach stuff. We met some awesome rental neighbors during our stay. The location was close enough to stores and the extra wide sidewalk allowed us easy travels from the house to stores with our bikes.

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!

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.

Reviewer Comments:
The location was prime and thats what we paid for. It is right on the beach. The house itself is beyond basic, old, antiquated. The house doesnt have central a/c,, which is disappointing. The in window a/c units are super noisy and loud, they do work though. The washer and dryer is in the garage and doing laundry in the rain is impossible, as the gutters leak immensely and thus carrying laundry up and down the stairs must be done with an umbrella. The screen porch is in rough shape With this house its all about the location, but it needs a massive update and improvement
