Sandi   ·  Stayed October 2025

"The house was very clean and the kitchen was well appointed with plenty of dishes, pots, etc. having the LVP flooring vs carpeting was great for cleanliness. The showers were fantastic with plenty of water pressure and hot water. The outside decks were great and had plenty of seating and great views."

Jessica   ·  Stayed September 2025

"My husband and I had the best time. It was by far the best vacation we ever had and the best place we’ve stayed at. We really loved the pool and being so close to the beach. It’s a really beautiful home Nicely decorated and well kept. You can really tell that the owners take pride in their home. I hope we can come back next year."

"This is our second time staying at Whale Deserved. The house is beautiful. We loved the view and spent a lot of time on the top deck. The pool heat worked really well and we floated in the pool every day. The beach was a quick walk and Whalehead is our favorite area. All in all, one of the most relaxing vacations we have ever had."

Amy   ·  Stayed July 2024

"The pool area was fantastic with seats and umbrellas we could keep the sun off us while enjoying a swim. We enjoyed sitting on the porch swing and enjoying the slow evenings."

Brett   ·  Stayed June 2024

"Fully remodeled and updated"

Sara   ·  Stayed May 2024

"Loved the recent renovations made to the home!"

Jaynie   ·  Stayed May 2024

"We LOVED this home. It was perfect for me, my brother and my mom. The pool heat was the best thing we ever purchased the pool was very nice! The house was extremely clean and clutter free. I like a simple place because it makes it easier for us to keep clean and to be cleaned when we leave. Everything was very up to date with style and new. The only thing wrong was we couldn’t get the dishwasher to work but it might just be me because I have never had a dishwasher. But I didn’t care about that just wanted to let you know. That was our favorite outer banks stay in our last three trips there. House was amazing. Twiddy employees always great as usual! Thank you all for being so helpful."

Homeowner response:
We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Thank you for the awesome review!
Brian And Mary   ·  Stayed October 2023

"What a great house! The owners have thought of everything to make for a pleasant and comfortable stay. Beautifully decorated, well situated an easy walk to the beach, a great pool and hot tub, and everything you could possibly need for a perfect time in the Outer Banks. You can tell the owners love the Outer Banks and this is not just a rental house, it is a home."

James   ·  Stayed September 2023

"Whale Deserved’s recent updates have made it like a brand new house. It’s in excellent shape inside and out. We especially loved the hot tub since it was a chilly week, and as crazy as it sounds, a little thing like the free Lighthouse bagels meant a lot. It shows the owner cares and goes a little bit above expectations."

Homeowner response:
Thank you for your kind words…we truly appreciate your review.
Thomas E   ·  Stayed September 2023

"Children loved the yard, the pool was above average, ping pong and Foosball were a hit. I prefer oceanfront but the amenities provided by having a larger yard made all the difference. We've booked the house for next year."

Homeowner response:
Thank you for your review and for staying with us again next year! We’re happy that you had a great stay.
Withers   ·  Stayed June 2023

"The renovations on Whale Deserved were amazing - fresh paint, new floors, new furniture, new decking, etc. Everyone loved the house and location. The only thing I think the owners should know is we tried to use the Margarita Machine and realized a sticky brown substance was in the ice shoot and we tried to clean the machine but decided against using it. Whomever used it last did not properly clean it."

Carl   ·  Stayed May 2023

"The updates that the owners completed are a great addition to this house. We came with friends who were amazed at how great the house was and how the owners keep making updates to improve the house. I thought that the house was great as it was but the new floors, furniture, and kitchen renovations that were made really make the house classy and so comfortable. The owners have thought of everything and I was really impressed with the couch covers as we brought our dog and I always worry about him leaning against the furniture. Overall, it is a great house with a great location! We already booked for next year!"

Maureen   ·  Stayed September 2022

"A great vacation was had by all.our 8 year old had a grand time. He went from the beach to the pool to the hot tub,always with adult supervision. Then the day progressed to either lunch or the arcade."

Miriam   ·  Stayed July 2022

"Great and comfortable. Location is good. Not too far from beach access."

Homeowner response:
Thank you for your awesome review! We will be replacing all of the carpeting with LVP this coming off season. Since purchasing the home, we focused on the outside now it’s time for the inside. Thanks again! Glad you had a great vacation.
Matthew   ·  Stayed July 2022

"This was our second year at the house and it was just as great as the first. House is fully stocked and has great comfortable furniture inside and around the pool. The house is in great condition which shows the owners care about you wanting to enjoy the house which we always do!"

Carl   ·  Stayed May 2022

"The house is well maintained and had a fully stocked kitchen. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The pool area had comfortable chairs and umbrellas. The free bagels were a plus. It is close to the beach, Timbuk II, Food Lion and many restaurants. You can tell that the owners are making improvements during the off season. We have stayed there for two years now and already booked for next year!"
