"Well stocked Kitchen!!! Distance to Duck Boardwalk, allowed us to bring our 3 dogs along."
"Close to town, and parking at beach"
"The pool was great, liked the upstairs living area for family time/games, and the kids really enjoyed relaxing in the hammock. No complaints!"
"the open area main level, pool and proximity to duck village"
"Main room was lovely, pool and hot tub great!"
"The location is perfect. It’s is super close to downtown and a short walk to the beach. With two king beds and two queens, there’s plenty of room for the family. We were thankful to be able to bring 3 of our dogs this trip. The heated pool was a necessity and along with the hot tub, made for a glorious and relaxing vacation."
"We loved everything about the Striped Duck and will definitely come back. The house was clean, with a beautiful and warm pool, proximity to all of Duck, close walk or bike ride to the ocean, pickleball courts!"
"We’ve been coming to the Striped Duck for more than 10 years. The house is perfect for us. I’m glad Twiddy is representing this home again. One or two tiny glitches were taken care of in a timely manner. Maintenance man was friendly and explained how he fixed the problem. Already rented for next year. 🦋"
"Proximity to dining and shopping"
"Most bed rooms had private bathrooms."
"Great pool and close to Duck and the beach. Plenty of room to spread out."

"Great location, lovely home"
"We had a great time at the Stripped Duck! The house was great for our large family. It had everything we needed and the location was perfect. The house was clean and in order when we arrived. We would recommend this to anyone with a large family and wants to be close to town & the beach."
"Easy access in and out, nice layout. Third time staying in this house; great place."
"Best street in Duck. All houses so well kept. Loved location near music venues. Awesome for young and older guests"
"Great home with a wonderful location."
"Great home. Met the needs of our large family. Location was fantastic. Teens could walk to the shops for snacks and fun spending. Pool was wonderful, kids played games and swam most of the day. Kitchen needs some rearranging but the rest of the house made up for the inconvenience of the kitchen."
"We loved our stay there. Your cleaning staff did a wonderful job. Although it rained a good deal while we were there. The grandchildren spent a great deal of time in the pool and in the hot tub. The staff was very helpful. It was amazing that a broken coffee pot was replaced within an hourI’ve been coming to the Outer Banks for the last 30 years. I have found Twiddy and Company to be the most reliable company that I’ve used. Your hospitality has been greatly appreciated.I am most grateful for Belinda who helped us find the house."
"This is our 3rd stay in OBX and The Striped Duck was the best one yet. This house perfectly accomodated our 2 large families. The decor and layout exceeded expectations. Comfortable beds and bedding. Loved the screened in porch to keep away the bugs. Super close to the shops, restaurants, Duck Boardwalk, etc. We were in the heated pool even when it was 60° and cloudy, such a treat! Only real 'negative' would be the distance to the Ocean, but we stayed at the end of April so we didnt visit the beach much. I think we've found our annual Spring spot!"
