The Sound and the Sea

"Pros- The house was absolutely amazing, it was beautiful. It was spacious, We loved the views and all the masters. Fully stocked kitchen (we asked about having a keurig ahead of time and told no, but it had two) Theatre room came in handy when storms hit me us for multiple days. Cons- We did have some issues with the pool heater not working for 3 days, There was an error code that had to be fixed. That was a little frustrating since it was mid September and we paid for a heated pool, For the amount of bedrooms and people it holds… more lounge chairs around the pool would be nice. The house is right off main road into Corolla so traffic noise can be heard from Sound side bedrooms. Also bedroom on theatre room side had noise issues too (walls not sound proof). There were only 3 beach chairs (told 4) but used to previous Twiddy rentals having enough for everyone, We were told ahead, so not a fault of owner. That's what is listed. The previous rentals said 4 too, but always had more."

"Seats in a row facing ocean and sound for group for sunrise sunsets"

"A master room for everyone"

"We loved everything about this beautiful home!! Bedrooms for everyone, each with their own bathroom & all 5 kings with their own deck, gorgeous kitchen with ample seating for our family of 19, plus 2 dishwashers! The 2 washers & dryers came in handy as well. Theater room was a big hit when the kids weren’t in the pool or at the beach. Great vacation!!"

"The Sound and the Sea is fully stocked, the upkeep is excellent and it is evident the owners put money into the house through upgrades and overall maintenance. The location is great with a wide open beach, great ocean and sound views, and we look forward to coming back next year (our 4th in a row)!"

"This home was fantastic before all the latest updates! We were completely “wowed” by the new kitchen, new and additional appliances, new A/C, new primary bathroom, updated game room appliances, new sink in laundry room, new decor in elevator, new living room decor, new beds….The 2 commercial washers/dryers are a lifesaver, and the Dyson on each level make it easy to keep the floors clean. The new kitchen sink and two new dishwashers makes meal cleanup a breeze. This was our third year in this home. We are very appreciative for everything these homeowners do to make our family vacation wonderful, and we treat this home as though we own it."

"We had an amazing stay at the Sound and the Sea! The decor was beautiful and the new kitchen awesome. Plenty of refrigerator space was a plus as well as the elevator."

"Great location, newly updated, nice theater, elevator. Nice decks and deck furniture."

"Beach equipment"

"The house was perfect and had everything we needed for a fun family vacation ."

"I loved that the house had views of both the ocean and the sound. I also loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom."

"The view of the sound and the sea was spectacular."

"Furniture was updated. Kitchen was well stocked. Accommodates a large crowd. Easy access to beach."

"The unobstructed view of the bay and ocean from the top floor is spectacular! Pool area is nice and large and the kids love the theater room."

"We has already reserved this home for 2024. We bring 8 people, and it gives us plenty of room to spread out. The location is fantastic, the beach uncrowded. The house with the elevator, ( for supplies and for the grandparents) two dishwashers, three Dyson's, and three washers and dryers is a dream - not to mention the beautiful furnishings, wonderful bathrooms, game room, pool, and beach access."

"The home was beautiful and had everything we could have possibly needed. It was like living in paradise!!"

"Very Nice."

"The coziness of the home"

"All updated. Very clean. New furniture. Comfy beds. Very well equipped and great location."

"Beautiful home. lots of room, fully stocked. the sunrise and sunset views were amazing. looking forward to returning next year!"

"The Sound and The Sea was very well suited to what we needed to have memorable moments made together with family and friends."

"Great views of ocean & sound."

"The home was beautifully designed and decorated, and so well supplied! Stunning views! Our favorite of all the OBX homes we have stayed in so far. The only disappointment is that it does not have the “first right of refusal” option, as we would have loved to come back again but our week for next year was already taken."

"The views of sunrise and sunset are amazing. Theater room was nice for our larger group. Bedrooms were a good size as well."

"We have been vacationing in Outer Banks for 13 years, most of which have been through Twiddy homes. This was by far the best home we’ve stayed at. Besides being beautiful, it was well stocked with pots and pans, silverware, and dishes. The game room and theater room were an awesome addition and the views were remarkable. We hated to leave…."

"It was a fabulous home, bedrooms were great size , kitchen was amazing and well stocked , Gorgeous views from the 3rd floor( great open floor plan ). The home was in great condition on the inside. Our entire family were so pleased with the functionality of the home. Simply put ……. We will be back next year."

"We loved this property. One of the best stocked kitchens we’ve ever had (glasses, plates, utensils, etc.)."

"Loved the decorating and “wall of windows” overlooking the ocean. The elevator made it easy to bring up luggage and groceries. The house was generally lovely!"

"We loved the beautiful views from the decks- sunrise and sunset! We enjoyed the heated pool and hot tub. The numerous bedrooms with their own baths met everyone's needs from our 8 month old to our 65 year old. We all loved this house."

"Spacious and comfortable with plenty of kitchen wares for our large group of 18 people"

"House was great. Amazing sunsets and great location. Morning sun in ocean side bedrooms very intense for those who are not early risers. Could use some exterior work. Overall great house"

"This house truly has the bedrooms and interior, the outside needs some love (aircons, painting, outside showers, etc....) Kitchen and gathering areas are great"

"We had the best week ever at The Sound and the Sea! The house was beautiful and well stocked with everything we could ever want! Being able to enjoy the ocean as the front yard and the sunsets as the back yard was priceless! The beds were super comfortable! What more could you ask for in a beach vacation!! Thank you goes to the owners and the Twiddy team for making our home away from home so special!"

"The interior of the home was pretty good with some good updates especially to the kitchen. The bathrooms were also nicely done. However the exterior of the home needed a lot of work with many holes in the siding and issues with some of the doors. The exterior furniture also needs updating. The kitchens pans were very old and there were not any usable pots except for huge ones."
