We had a wonderful vacation! The home is lovely and and didn't lack a single thing. We felt right at home without the need to do extensive cleaning (many times we have had to in other places.) We celebrated my sister's 40th Wedding Anniversary with a formal meal and were blown away with the pictures! It looked like we were at an expensive restuarant. Thank you so much for this opportunity. When we come back to the Outer Banks, we will certainly look this place up. The only negative we had was the pool. It definitely needs a solution for the skimming problem. But it wasn't so bad that we couldn't enjoy using it. Thanks again and best wishes for a properous season.
Owner response:Thanks for the feedback! I checked with our pool vendor and the skimmer is working as it is supposed to. The issue this year with the bugs is that the season was very wet; when the lights are left on at night at the pool, the bugs are blanketing the water. This is the first year in 14 years that folks are seeing the problem -- lots of snow and wet weather late into the spring seems to have provided a shot in the arm to the bug population. I wish you had called us -- we would have had our pool vendor make a special trip to help clean them out for you! Thanks again for your good wishes -- glad you enjoyed your vacation and our home!

Sea Esta Is a beautiful, well equipped home. Our group was from five states and ages ranged from 8mo. to 60yrs,and a wonderful time was had by all. We already reserved for next year. We would reccomend a new gas grill, pool skimmer, workable baby gate and a better functioning pool filter and solar cover.
Owner response:Thanks Janis -- will put the grill on the list for next season. Even stainless takes a beating on the oceanfront. Ditto on the other items except for the pool cover -- We had a solar cover but found that guests did not want to take the time to cover the pool with it -- it spent the season rolled up on the deck... Thanks for booking again for next year! All the best. Sophia, owner

We have been vacationing at different places/beaches for about 30 years. We have NEVER gone back to the same house twice. Your Sea Esta will be the exception- we can't WAIT to go back. My husband and I, 3 grown children with their spouses and 5 grandchildren, PLUS a baby sitter fit in your home so well! We loved the floor plans, the appliances, the baths in every bedroom, the outstanding kitchen with EVERYTHING we needed for such a large group and the 45 cup coffee maker! You guys have thought of everything. Twiddy was very responsive to getting the outside shower working for us and fixing the hot tub.

We had a great week with our extended family of 11. The house was beautifully decorated and with 8MBR's everybody had a great private bedroom and bath. Will definitely rent this house agin and refer it to friends also.

We just celebrated our 60th anniversary in your lovely home, needless to say, we had a great time. All of our children and their families were there with us. The Sea Esta was just what we wanted. The boys especially enjoyed the game room and pool table. I didn't expect all of the amenities in the kitchen and was pleasantly surprised. You have done a great job outfitting the house. We will definitely consider a return visit some day. Just a suggestion, maybe you should repair the screens and sliding screens on the doors so they will slide more easily. A maintence check-up would be a good idea. A few of the outside overhead lights are falling out of place. We realize the salt and sand can be brutal on hardware. Thanks again for making a special occasion a great one.

We loved the panoramic view of the ocean from all the windows, the long dining room that could seat all of us, and the comfy living room -- a great place for a reunion weekend like ours. Kitchen was particularly well-equipped and nice for several people to work in at once. Beds comfy, too. You might consider redecorating the red bedroom on 1st floor. Thanks for making it easy to rent your house.

This was the first stay for my siblings and myself at the Sea Esta in Corolla for our annual retreat. It was wonderful. The home was exactly as advertised and more. We found it clean well stocked and elegantly decorated. We felt very comfortable and right at home. This is an annual trip and Sea Esta truely shone among previous destinations The proximity to the beach was great..I had the opportunity to run on the beach every morning at sunrise and watch the sun set from my balcony..what more could you ask for. My own personal kitchen should be so well stocked with the latest appliances..although I did wonder why no garbage disposal in such a truly wonderful home. But that was a minor issue. Again everthing was absolutely wonderful. The Twiddy staff was also helpful and extremely nice. We would definitely return

We stayed at the Sea Esta and had a marvelous time. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. We liked having our own bathrooms! The view was fantastic and we got to use the pool even though we rented in the off-season. We would definitely do this again.

We have been vacationing in OBX for 4 years now and "Sea Esta" is the BEST house yet! It is difficult to find a house "ocean front" that allows pets. We found your home to be very comfortable and it has everything. We loved it so much we already rebooked for next year. Thank you.
