30 Year Guest Stories
Thank you for helping us celebrate our 30 year anniversary. Certainly none of this would be possible without the countless number of friends and families that vacation with us year after year. Enjoy these vacation tales, told first-hand by Twiddy guests.

For over 20 years we have come there at least once a year. Every time Twiddy provided the places where we could come and find the magic again. Thank you for this...it has defined an important part of our family. Full story...

One week together has formed close bonds among the ten granddaughters and six grandsons, even though they live in Minnesota, Texas and the U.K. Often, phone conversations end with “See you at the beach”. Full story...

The largest group we ever had was in 2004 when we rented a total of 6 Twiddy homes and had more than 50 relatives down for the week. What a great lot of fun and chaos! Full story...

At the end of the week, an older gentleman approached me who had spent the summer there in his house. He said "I've been down here all summer and I didn't see another kid, another adult, or another dog have as much fun as that dog of yours." So I guess the moral of the story is "dogs need vacations too". Full story...

We have been there every year since our daughter was born in 1998. Her birthday is June 1st, and she has celebrated every birthday at the beach on the Outer Banks, in a Twiddy home. Full story...

This tradition started as a 50-year wedding anniversary gift to our parents. Their grandchildren, 24 strong, have maintained and formed lasting bonds unlikely to have been formed without this fabulous yearly retreat to the Outer Banks. We love the area and love working with the family-oriented Twiddy and Company. Full story...

Our family had their first Duck vacation in 1991. We have been every year since, only missing one summer when we went to Disney World. Florida was having a heat wave that year and we certainly missed the cool ocean breezes that holiday. Full story...

In 1986, we stayed during Hurricane Charley, and my mother proudly wore her Charley T-shirt that was available in stores within days. Full story...

We've spent endless hours on the beach swimming, kayaking, boogie boarding, body surfing, walking, talking and watching the stars. Full story...

The opportunity for all the cousins to be together for an entire week of getting reacquainted. Full story...

We’re looking forward to being with y’all once again in 2008. Our grandchildren start counting the days sometime in the Spring. They all agree it’s the best vacation ever! As do we. Full story...

We are in love with the Outer Banks and intend to continue coming there each year until we no longer are physically able on our own...then we'll get somebody else to insure we get there. Full story...

We began to vacation on the Outer Banks and were able to get the kind of accommodations that we needed for a big family like ours. We are looking forward to many more years in the future. Full story...


Our favorite thing to do when it thunderstorms at the beach is to sit on our deck where it is covered and watch the lightning over the ocean. Every time it rains, we get comfy clothes on, get a bowl of popcorn or pistachios and sit outside and watch the storm. Full story...
