"Fantastic home! Beach and sound views and private access to the beach were amazing. So much to do with the heated pool, hot tub, sauna, poker table, pool table, ping pong, air hockey, and arcade games. Very clean and plenty of space for everyone. Great location between the shops/restaurants of both Duck and Corolla."
"We had 8 adults and 16 children at the home and we loved how clean and updated it was! The tiny details really mattered including overall cleanliness in the entire home and pool area, the WIFI signs, lights on the outlets, Samsung smart tvs in all rooms which were easy to use, and thorough directions for everything. Also the appliances were updated, there was surround throughout the home and at the pool which we loved, and the home was clearly well prepared for our visit!"
"Beautiful pool, large well-equipped kitchen, hot tub and the beach with the cabana service"
"The location is wonderful. The house is lovely and family friendly."
"We loved the spacious rooms, the large pool, the game room was a big hit and of coarse the location to the beach."
"Amazing ocean views from all common areas and many bedrooms. Large home with room for extended family. All types of entertainment - pool, air hockey, etc. The house is nicely decorated, and the kitchen is amazing. Elevator is a plus."
"Location, layout"
"The master shower , the master bedroom, house is well maintained, kitchen well stocked"
"House was beautiful and very clean. Large bedrooms with on suite bathrooms were great. Great room and kitchen area were fantastic and accommodated our family well. Kitchen was well equipped. Pool was very nice as well."
Thank you so much for the kind words. We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay at ‘Tis the Sea Sun. Interestingly we have been trying to figure how to best implement an outdoor cabana with TV. Hopefully, we can get it figured in the near future. Thanks again!
"Large bedrooms, ample living space, every bedroom has an ensuite"
"Cleanliness. Properly stocked. Great layout."
We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at ‘Tis the Sea Sun. It’s satisfying to know that all of the hard work and upgrades we have completed over the past 4 years have been well received. We hope you continue to visit our home! BTW, the 2026 reservations are now available to book.
"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."
"All of it!"
"Oceanfront view, amenities and updated master bathroom."
"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."
"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."
"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!!"
"Location, size, the bathtub in the master bath"
"Very clean when we arrived. Kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses, and all we needed."
"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!"
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
