Sandpiper Cottage

Two bedrooms, one long view, and sand you will never fully get out.

Sleeps 42 bedrooms1 bath4.79 (94 reviews)

Sandpiper sits back from the dune line, which means the view is unobstructed but the walk to the water takes an extra minute — worth it for the quiet. It's a small footprint by design: two bedrooms, an outdoor shower that gets used more than the indoor one, and a screened porch strung with the kind of hammock chair that ruins you for regular chairs. Ferries to Ocracoke run from Hatteras village, 15 minutes south, if you want a day away from your own view.
