Guest recommendations
"Life is Golden comes very well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen. The whole house had everything we needed. Skee Ball was a big hit this year on the first level!"
"The heated pool. The Game room and theater were awesome. The view from both bedrooms on the third floor. The showers on the third floor. Beach access (nor far to walk). The deck/patio area for the sunset and sunrise."
"As always, your support team was amazing! From reservations to onsite help, Twiddy staff were always quickly responsive and helpful!"
"Big decks on both sides of the house. Use-friendly kitchen. Ability for everyone to sit down and eat together in one large area rather than broken up in various locations. Pool. Outdoor grill and kitchen area. Beach access."

"Wonderful location where we could observe the wild horses on a daily basis. Ample room that provided many amenities, a well stocked kitchen with double appliances, ample towels, great playroom, and the elevator is a huge convenience for loading and unloading and more importantly elderly family members. Individual bathrooms for each bedroom was a great luxury."

"Life is Golden was the perfect home for our family and friends this vacation."
"This is our 4th time staying in Life is Golden. We love this house. The location is perfect and the upper deck is our favorite for morning coffee and star gazing at night. The new leather sectional was a great addition. Some of the mattresses could be replaced but other then that. It’s a great home and we hope to call it home again next summer. Twiddy is also a great company and very responsive!"
"Loved the whole set up. Perfect fit for us. Living space was great!"
"This has been our best Outer Banks home yet in our 20 years vacationing there. House is very well appointed: spacious, extremely well-stocked kitchen with double appliances for large groups. Very tasteful decor. Game room and theater were great for the kids (and adults), pool and hot tub were clean, and a nice, new outside grill. Lots of really comfortable beach chairs. We were so sorry to leave and have already put next year on hold for our return. A definite 5+ stars."
"Awesome home perfect location"
"Location and the house is just amazing"
"The house was fully equipped with everything."
"This was the best beach house we have had the pleasure of renting. Our group numbers 16 and we had a fabulous time. There was plenty of comfortable gathering areas inside and outside the house. We especially enjoyed the "bird's nest" as we called the deck on the dune! We always have a crowd in the kitchen cooking and hanging out and there was room for all of us. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment and dishes."
"Top notch with all the amenities. Kitchen was well stocked and oragnized. The ice maker was awesome. Short walk to the beach on a beautiful boardwalk with a gazebo platform. Outdoor furniture on the decks and around the pool was also top notch and plentiful. Beautifully decorated!"
"This was a dream vacation home!! The owners definitely care about their property and it shows in the maintenance of the home and the welcoming atmosphere created within. There are SO many amenities, we felt like royalty. We will definitely return to this beautiful place in the future."
"This home has it all; pool, large pool deck, new large hot tub, game room with mulitple games, movie room, elevator, 10 large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, large kitchen with 2 stoves 3 ovens and 2 dishwashers, large decks, all overlooking the ocean which you have direct access to via a wooden walkway. It has everything you need, just bring yourselves for a great time!!!"
"Beautiful well appointed home. Also only two Mins from a boat dock where we could use our jet skis. Love the secluded nature of the 4x4 area where our group has stayed on numerous other occasions. Life is Golden is top notch. The home was clean and organized when we arrived. Would stay here again."
