Guest recommendations
"The views (both sunset on the sound & panorama of the Atlantic shore; the # of bathrooms; the layout of the house; the features"
"From the check in process to check out, this home is top notch. The minute you ascend the stairs (or step out of the elevator) , the views of the sound and ocean are spectacular. The professional style kitchen makes cooking a pleasure. The interior design of the home is impeccable. I give this home a 6 out of 5 stars!"
"well maintained, amazing views, great updates, just a beautiful home"
"Beautiful.. clean… close to beach"
"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!!"
We are glad your family had such a great time staying at our home "The Sound & The Sea". We hope to see you again next year
"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!!"
Thank you so much, Kathy, for your kind words and our family feels the same when we stay at "The Sound & The Sea". Just like Paradise.
"Very Nice."
Thank you Randy for the "5 Stars" and hope you and your family can stay with us again.
"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!"
Our family is glad to hear you will be returning to "The Sound and The Sea" again next year. See you then!
"The Sound and The Sea was very well suited to what we needed to have memorable moments made together with family and friends."
We are so glad your family and friends had such a "memorable" time at our home in Corolla. Thanks for staying at "The Sound and The Sea"!!
"Great views of ocean & sound."
Yes our family agrees with you.....the views are amazing!!!!!
"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."
Abigail our family is so glad this was your favorite of all the OBX homes you have stayed at. We spend a lot of time and effort each year to make sure it stays in the best shape it can be!
"The views of sunrise and sunset are amazing. Theater room was nice for our larger group. Bedrooms were a good size as well."
Christa we are so glad you enjoyed our beautiful home and yes it has a ton of room with a ton of amazing views!
"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…."
Thank you Hyslop's family. We are so glad to hear this was your best rental stay in 13 years at the OBX. Likewise, we hate to leave "The Sound and the Sea" when we visit. It is an incredible house with the most incredible views!
"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 can't wait to see you again next year!
"We loved this property. One of the best stocked kitchens we’ve ever had (glasses, plates, utensils, etc.)."
This is what we like to hear. We want our guest to have everything needed for an enjoyable week at "The Sound and the Sea", Thanks for coming!
"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!"
Thank you Sharon for your "Thumbs Up" review and we hope that you will stay in our home again soon.
"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."
We agree the views are beautiful and amazing! It's like a dream.
"Spacious and comfortable with plenty of kitchen wares for our large group of 18 people"
We are so glad your 18 person party was so comfortable in the house and left us with a "Thumbs Up"!
"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"
Hi Joseph, Thank you for the review. It was difficult this year to address everything on the exterior because we had all the siding of the house replaced, which was busy and hard to work around on the outside. The air conditioning units were just replaced in April. My painter is going to address the outdoor shower. We hope you come and visit us again soon. Take Care
"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!"
Hi Phyllis, Thank you for the review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We hope you come and stay with us again soon.
"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."
Hi Brynn, Thank you for the review! We are the new owners of the house and we plan on doing some major work to the house exterior including new siding and trim, new doors and paint. I am purchasing new pots and pans, as per your suggestion and we will be getting new outdoor furniture. I hope you come and visit us again soon!
