About this house rental
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, 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: IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU HAVE A 4WD VEHICLE so you can easily drive to our home. 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! Carova Beach is also a Wild Horse Preserve, so plan on seeing plenty of wild horses during your stay!
We have a three day minimum in the off season; minimum 7 day stay during the summer season.
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.

The house was super clean and had everything you need.
Nice views of the ocean. Host was so accommodating when we had a question. Best experience in all the years we have been coming to carova. Highly recommend this house.

There were a couple of initial hiccups: first, the battery on the door key pad was dead, so we couldn’t get right in. Then once inside, there was a mix up with their cleaning group and the house had not been cleaned. The host was immediately responsive and within an hour she had another group there to clean it and got the door fixed for us. She was wonderful at quick communication and fixing the issues that were out of her control. Very professional. From that point on, our stay was absolutely amazing! The house was beautiful, excellent location ! We had a wonderful vacation with our kids and grandkids, and made amazing memories. We are already talking about going back and staying at this same house! I would highly recommend this property and the host!

We Thank you Tracey for making our stay wonderful !!!

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.

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!

We had a great time in this lovely spacious house. Everything you could want and ask for is in this house. Beautiful views. Close to the beach.

We had a very good time at the Property. Everything was as per the description, and the owner was very nice. We truly enjoyed the location and the beach!

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.

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!
4.7
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!
4.7
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.

The house is spacious, has many bathrooms and the kitchen has so much counter space. Loved this home.

Piper's Nest was a wonderful property. Light and bright and nicely decorated. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. Spacious master bath with double sinks. Lots of space to spread out for us and the dogs. But the best part is the location and views. Even though it's not ocean front you get great views from both levels. Literally a couple minutes walk to the beach but we like to take our SUV and park so we can take all our stuff. Tracy was absolutely wonderful to work with. Very helpful and responsive. The welcome packet was very informative also. Highly recommend Pipe's Nest!

This house is amazing! It has ample rooms, bathrooms, supplies, kitchen wares, and endless decks ! The views are breathtaking! We saw horses and were able to bring our pups! Additionally, the owners were very responsive, communicative, and helpful. Book now!

Great house! We spent several days in the area fishing and Piper's Nest was the perfect spot to relax after a day on the beach. The house was clean, had plenty of space and everything we needed. The communication with Tracy was outstanding as well! She was very responsive and helped us prepare for the trip. We will definitely be staying at Piper's Nest again!

Glorious weather, spacious house, third tier with brilliant ocean view!
Living room furniture could definitely be updated tho.

This beach house is only a "block" away from the Atlantic Ocean on an OBX 4x4 beach. It was our first time driving on the sand in our AWD vehicle, and the notes from the hosts on this were very helpful!
Tracy & Gerry have done a lot of work on the house since they recently purchased it (the bedding was much nicer than the original photos when we booked last winter!), and their love for the house really shows. Thoughtful touches like throw rugs at the doors (to catch all the sand) and a washer/dryer in the unit were appreciated. Also a second refrigerator, because we packed enough food for a group of 12 for a week, and the extra space was very useful. There were some cute beach toys provided and the little bunk bed room off of one of the larger queen rooms was great for our younger kiddos. We also appreciated that it was dog-friendly. We took our Great Dane with us and she had a good time, too!
Of course, the biggest draw of this house is its proximity to the beach. While it is walkable, we found it easier to drive with all of the supplies the hosts provided (beach chairs, pop-up-tent, etc.), and park on the beach. This also seemed to be what most other people were doing, and most days, we were one in a line of many folks parked on the beach. The parking passes from the house are vital for this, especially in the summer.
Tracy and Gerry have excellent communication and were very helpful in managing any issues. We appreciated all the information they provided prior to our trip (this helped immensely with packing), and were reachable during our stay as well.

Pipers Nest 2022
Our family (13+) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pipers Nest! Talk about location...Holy cow it has its ups and downs but once you figure out what you want... Amazing!! The walk....as advertised...the views...as advertised...the experience...better than any review or add could describe it. We highly recommend the Pipers Nest for an awesome OBX visit.

Wonderful stay
We had never been to this area before and were hoping to see the wild horses. The horses were at the house every day! The house is beautiful, clean and welcoming. Felt like home. Owners are super responsive and helpful. Will definitely make a return trip.
4.7
Satisfactory!
Location is great to the beach. Short walk or by car. Nice area of the beach, not super crowded like the beginning of the 4x4 beach. Layout of the house was good for our family. Having the parking passes this year was a plus!
Hot tub needs to be cleaned and Bromine Tablets (chemical) for the water. Used it once then realized that was missing. Didn’t go back into it.
Overall it is a nice place to stay!
4.7
Amazing house, but you do need a 4 by 4!
We loved the layout of the house and its amenities. Loved the size of the kitchen (kitchens usually are too small to our liking in vacation homes) - and when the owner write 'fully equipped kitchen' she meant it! There was even a good selection of herbs.
Hot tub was nice and clean. house close to the beach with nice views.
Speaking of clean, my compliment for the cleaners! I knew that they had little time.
Some furniture is clearly at the end of its life-span, but overall it is clear that the new owners are gradually improving this house. Not to mention that Tracy the owner was also very good in answering questions and being ready to help out when we had a need.
There were negatives, but that is definitely not the house, but the fact that we used an AWD to get there and not a 4 by 4. Driving over the wet sand of the beach is a breeze, but there are areas where you are forced to drive in the (deep) struts close to the dunes. And my car did not like it.
IN short, if I had a 4 by 4, I would absolutely like to come back!

Tracy was very helpful and accommodating due to our circumstances surrounding the
poor weather conditions on our arrival date. Just a short walk to the beach. One of the best hosts we have dealt with.

We had such a wonderful time here! That was one of these dream vacations where you park your car at arrival and do not enter it again until you leave. The location of Carova Beach is very tranquil and gorgeous. You will see dunes and ocean from almost every room in this house and can watch the sunrise from your bed in the main bedroom. The place is a quick 2 minutes walk to the beach and a 15-minute walk to the park.
The place is very spacious, and the views are stunning. The kitchen is very well equipped and it was a pleasure cooking there. I saw dolphins jumping in the waves one afternoon while prepping dinner. The horses were coming by almost daily.
We visited in April, and there were not many tourists out there yet, but I can imagine it gets crowded in the summer and traffic could be a little tricky. I would advise getting all you need in town. There are few grocery stores on the way. Driving on and off the beach will take you about 30 minutes each way, and you have to be cautious of tides. And you don't want to be stuck in the traffic on a beautiful sunny beach day.
Tracey was a great host, super responsive ( and I messaged her a lot and during the holiday!), and very accomodating. The same with the Property Manager, very friendly.
Overall, this place excided our expectations. I highly recommend it. We will be going back for sure.
