Located on the Northern end of the Outer Banks and is surrounded by spectacular natural beauty and peaceful serenity, yet with easy access to amenities like grocery stores, restaurants, fitness centers, eclectic shops, lively nightlife, and a multitude of activities.

4X4 Beaches:One of the most unique towns in northeastern North Carolina, Carova is nestled in the most northeastern corner of the state. The name “Carova” is a combination of Carolina and Virginia, because its northern border runs alongside the Virginia state line.
Accessible only by a four-wheel-drive vehicle, Carova boasts no paved roads, with some of its year-round residents even choosing to commute to work in Virginia by boat! Carova is a growing area for retirees who want to live “away from it all” in a very close-knit, small community. Self-sufficiency and preparation is key in Carova, as a storm or extended high tide can keep residents from leaving their homes unexpectedly, and there are no gas stations or grocery stores in the town. Living in Carova is a unique experience that really means living as one with nature and the tides, and your neighbors will be wild horses, coyotes, pelicans, and cormorants. Perfect for shell and sea-glass collecting retirees, as well as writers, poets, artists, and photographers.

Rodanthe, Salvo and waves.....also known as the TRI VILLAGES are the first three towns after crossing onto Hatteras Island.
The first three villages are also known as the “tri villages” as you crossover the Oregon Inlet Bridge. This salty seaside Village is representative of the native, quintessential Outer Banks. Real estate in the Tri Village is nearly all waterfront, or close to it, on this tiny sliver of sand. True island living, residents live connected with nature, weather, storms, and the tide. Popular activities of birding, fishing, surfing, and windsurfing here are some of the best on the east coast attracting the hardcore all the way from Canada. The main livelihood is based on fishing, tourism, and the service industry. Although this area is like Kitty Hawk was say 20 years ago it has seen its boom too with the addition of large rental homes, world class restaurants and awesome outdoor activates but it still has the “Salty OBX Feel” of yesterday.

A long day trip from Piper's Place!
Accessible only by ferry either from Hatteras Village or Cedar Island to the South. This little coastal village of only 9 square miles has everything the soul truly needs to re-energize. Steeped in history dating back to the 1500’s there is no other place like Ocracoke.
While vising Ocracoke you will see the Ocracoke Light House, Silver Lake, The Castle and the British Cemetery where British Soldiers from WWII were laid to rest.
While you are there listen closely to the natives. They speak in their own brogue. High Tide sounds like “hoi toid”.
Whether you visit for the day, a weekend, a week or longer you are guaranteed to return home with a feeling of peace and renewal.
