Book Local for the Best Experience

Too Many Choices?

As you consider your vacation choices, you’ll see a lot of websites offering vacation rental homes. Some are managed professionally right here on the Outer Banks and others belong to a “home sharing” program.

You’d be right to wonder how different approaches compare and what ultimately will work best for your family.

While we believe the professional approach provides the highest quality OBX vacation, our ultimate goal is to help you make the best decision for you and your loved ones.

We’re Local Professionals

We’re a group of local residents who in many cases have lived in and raised a family on the Outer Banks for many years. We don’t outsource hospitality at all. When you call, you get a real, live person right away - a person who drives down Duck Road every morning to get to our office. When you need recommendations, help, or support you’re getting it from experienced locals who live right down the street.

We are a full-time professional firm - this isn’t a hobby or side gig for us and your satisfaction is how we earn a living. We’re regulated by the State of North Carolina to safeguard your vacation dollars and have been in continuous operation in Duck, NC for more than 45 years.

Over 1000+ Exclusive Rentals

We have the largest selection of homes on the Outer Banks from the simply unique to the extraordinarily luxurious. We started in Duck with four homes in 1978 and have grown a little bit every year since - not because we wanted to be a big company but because we wanted to treat each customer the way we would want to be treated. Our growth is rooted in our customers’ trust.

We’re locally owned and operated by the same family since our founding. This means that our ownership structure focuses on local people, local investments, local communities, and the long-term happiness of guests as job number one.

Your Money Stays Here

We support our community. When you book locally with Twiddy & Company, your dollars contribute to several local Outer Banks organizations and events that are near and dear to us, like the Outer Banks Community Foundation, Dare Education Foundation, College of the Albemarle, NC Community Foundation, Outer Banks Forum, and The Lost Colony. We also support Dare and Currituck County schools, events at locally-owned restaurants, and several other local organizations that assist members of our community.

Sustainability Efforts

At Twiddy & Company, sustainability is built into how we operate day to day. Our paperless guest and owner contract processes save an estimated 100,000 sheets of paper per year, and we retired our printed Vacation Planner and Guest Directory in favor of a fully digital experience. Housekeeping crews use centrally dispensed, refillable cleaning products and reusable microfiber towels to cut down on packaging and paper waste.

We've also made energy efficiency a priority in the homes we manage — replacing incandescent bulbs with CFL and LED lighting to reduce consumption across our portfolio. In the office, we recycle, print consciously, and use filtered drinking water and recycled paper products. We're always looking for ways to work smarter and tread a little lighter.
