Please take a minute to read about The Piper's Nest...:)

(SEE OUR TWO VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THAT SHOW THE HOUSE LAYOUT! SEARCH FOR: Tour of "the piper's nest" part one and Tour of "the piper's nest" part two... posted by Tracy Blowers.)

Wake up every morning and drink your beverage of choice while enjoying a glorious ocean view! Three of our five bedrooms offer an ocean view (moms and dads claim those!), while our entire, sunny, window filled Great Room offers the same spectacular option.

Step onto the wrap around deck to enjoy, the sight, sounds and smell of the ocean! A quick change into swimsuits and you can enjoy it all from the hot tub!

Our home is the perfect option - all of the benefits of "ocean view" without getting overwhelmed by the crowd and the traffic! How far away is the ocean? Less than five minutes. It's really close!

A big kitchen with a large snack bar, where fabulous food & drinks can be enjoyed while you chat with friends and family. We have a fully stocked kitchen, an Echo Dot for kitchen dancing or podcast listening, beach chairs, games, cards, books - whatever you need to relax, it's here. There is a washer and dryer at the house as well (not that you want to do laundry, but you can. :). Enjoy our nearly 3,000 square foot space to spread out at night and connect during the day. Sun, Ocean, Great Food & Beverage of Choice = Relaxation!

NOTE: Our home is on Carova Beach, which is the perfect oasis - far enough away from the downtown OBX craziness without being too far away if you want to experience the crazy! IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU HAVE A 4WD VEHICLE so you can easily drive to our home. Carova Beach is also a Wild Horse Preserve, so plan on seeing plenty of wild horses during your stay!

We have a three or four day minimum throughout the year. Many guests choose to stay Thursday-Thursday during the summers to avoid the bridge traffic. Arriving on Thursday gives you a chance to start your vacation early AND avoid the bridge traffic!

It's a 7 mile drive down the beach - not a bad commute with a view like that! If you don't want to drive on the beach, there are other options to get you there (i.e. you can use a "park & ride" service to and from the house - there are fees associated with that. I can provide more info for you, if you'd like).

We will give you more information in our "Welcome" letter on tips & tricks for driving on the beach, as well as what we have at the house and what you may want to bring. And, please, reach out to us with any questions. We're here to make your stay just what you need it to be so you can relax and recharge.

Great remote getaway
This location was just what we were looking for. Horses grazing around the property were beautiful! We had 8 family members & this house had plenty of room. We enjoyed the hot tub while watching the sunset. While the house is older, the owners are doing updates. We would definitely stay here again.

One of a kind adventure
If you’re thinking of booking- do it. Do it now. The host is kind and thoughtful, and goes out of her way to make your trip memorable. With that said, she is very responsive, helpful, and a perfect host. We woke up to the wild horses in the yard, spent entire days on the beach, relaxed in the (very clean) hot tub, and cannot wait to return. The beach house is a magical place of horses and beauty. With the bonus of a perfect host. 10+++ stars!

Loved the location
We had an awesome time. Loved the Thursday check in to miss all the traffic on 12. House was well equipped. And we loved that we could all spread out if needed. Enjoyed the views of the ocean from many rooms in the house. Loved that we could bring the dogs with us. Tracy was great answering any questions! Really enjoyed our stay.

Family Vacation
This home is beautiful and spacious! Fit our family perfectly!! I love that almost every room has a view and there own sliding glass door to the porch! Very homey and comfortable! I love that we got to see the horses in the front and the back yard and that you could see the ocean from the porches as well! The kitchen is fully stocked, had everything you need! Tracey was great! She answered every question we had and responded quick! We had a great family vacation in this beautiful home and such a beautiful area!

Family ReUnion Vacation
The location is amazing! Waking up and seeing the wild horses every morning was just magnificent! We could walk to the beach. The drive on the beach is a bit long to get to the house for me but well worth it. The house was spacious and clean. We all enjoyed our visit to the outer banks. The host Tracy was amazing about staying in contact. If you are looking for an amazing OBX experience this is the place!

Long weekend getaway
Fully enjoyed our stay! This was our first time in Carova and hopefully won’t be our last! Biggest highlight the wild horses, we went looking for them, but really didn’t need to because they ended up in front yard!! We’re a Jeep family so felt right at home driving through the sand/on the beach. The house has beautiful views and lots of light upstairs! Downfalls: other people’s trash was still in upstairs bathroom trash can, dishes were still in dishwasher, and floor needed to be swept. Exterior of house could use some TLC and porches could use more chairs and take to the beach chairs (as there was only one). Our family has always vacationed to Kill Devil and my kids are always ready to leave, this trip, however my kids were pleading to stay.
