‘Tis the Sea Sun for a memorable Outer Banks vacation! This eight bedroom oceanfront home is located on the desirable southern end of Pine Island. Wake to beautiful ocean sunrises, relaxing with family and friends during the long days of summer and ending the day watching spectacular sunsets over the Currituck Sound while enjoying everything that a vacation at the beach has to offer!

Level three was designed with an open floor plan that takes full advantage of the views and is a great place for everyone to gather. Entering the generously sized gourmet kitchen, you’re greeted with a mini wine cooler, double refrigerators, double ovens, two dishwashers, two cooktops and ample prep space, allowing for the convenience of cooking together. Two dining areas ensure that the whole group can sit and enjoy a meal together. For a quieter space to get away, step up to the ship's watch that features a private deck perfect for watching the sunset. The master bedroom with private deck and bath retreat on this level offer expansive views of both the sea and sound!

Level two boasts five additional spacious bedrooms that each contain a private bath. Four of these bedrooms have access to the large exterior decks, two facing the ocean and two facing the sound, for additional common space to relax and appreciate the views.

Level one features two additional bedrooms/baths, a media room and the ultimate space for entertainment. The pool table and card table can be found in the rec room with views of the pool and dune. There’s also a game room with ping pong, air hockey table and an arcade game, so there’s fun for all! The laundry room provides two washers and two dryers. Stepping outside, you’ll find the private pool area where the hot tub and outdoor showers are located as well as an outside entry to a poolside full bath. The ocean is steps away via the private beach walk from this area, as well as a dune deck - the perfect spot to enjoy a breathtaking oceanfront sunrise.

Feel free to bring your electric vehicle! There is an on-site EV receptacle (NEMA 14-50R) available just outside the garage.

Everything you need for your dream vacation you’re sure to find at ‘Tis the Sea Sun!

"Great dining table for a large crowd. Having 7 master bedrooms perfect for a family/ friends gathering. Having sunrises on the back of the house and sunsets over the sound ; equally beautiful. No complaints except have learned to bring placemats on our second year renting this house.also appreciate the updates this year."

Mary   ·  Stayed August 2024

"This is our third year and every year the owners have updated and improved things. It's so nice to see a house well kept. The only complaint I heard from the family is that the mattresses are too hard. I sleep on the top floor and mine is fine. The gift basket was a delightful surprise."

Barbara   ·  Stayed July 2024

"The house was above and beyond our expectations! Every detail was taken care of. The kitchen was so well appointed it made feeding 16 a breeze. And of course the view was incredible."

John   ·  Stayed July 2024

"The home had all the room and amenities that 21 of us could think about having! We stayed there last year, too. Right on the beach with no one behind us - can't beat that!!"

Teresa   ·  Stayed May 2024

Jane   ·  Stayed May 2024

"This home was exceptional in every way! Spacious bedrooms plus the expansive great room, dining areas, and well equipped kitchen which offered terrific views of both the ocean and the sound. We have vacationed in the OBX for 14 years as a group of retired teachers and we decided this was the BEST rental we have had...and plan to return next year! Twiddy's staff went above and beyond in their efforts to help me locate an Amazon item I had ordered...kudos for diligence!"

Homeowner response:
Dear Jane, We are thrilled that you enjoyed our home so much. After putting so much effort into upgrades and maintenance on Tis’ The Sea Sun since purchasing it 2021, it’s very gratifying to read reviews like yours. Our goal is to continue to make improvements each off season and new beds are on the list. Although, the new beds may not happen by the time you return next year. That said, I think you will be pleased with the improvements we have planned for this winter. Thanks, Tis’ The Sea Sun

"This is a great house for multiple families. The owners have taken great care of the property. Furniture inside and out is in excellent condition. Great kitchen for multiple chefs. Can’t beat the location as the house is right on the ocean and has unobstructed views of the ocean and the sound. The sunsets are spectacular."

Thank you so much for taking the time to complete the survey and for your kind words. We are very glad and excited that you enjoyed our home during your stay. Were have been looking forward to getting feed back on the multitude of improvements me made to the home over the past off season. If you honor us with a repeat visit, I suspect you will be equally impressed with some of the changes we have planned for next season (fingers crossed that contractors will be available). Enjoy your summer. Best Regards, 'Tis the Sea Sun
