For the 2025 season, the name of this home will change from "Seven Sandpipers" to "Living on Porpoise". Updated 8/27/24
Formerly known as "Seven Sandpipers".
Views and location are number one at Living on Porpoise located in Duck! The ocean can be seen from level three, and the only thing that can top that is how close the beach is. The community beach access is caddy corner from the home so your walk to the beach is quick. If you choose to bring your dog to this pet-friendly home, you will love this location being on a culdesac. The heart of Duck is just a short bike ride or drive away where there is lots to do for the whole family!
This five bedroom home has enough room to sleep your group comfortably. The middle level of the home offers 2 bunk rooms and 2 queen rooms. Level three has the master suite with a bonus room and provides those stunning views and an updated kitchen with an area for the whole family to enjoy.
The new deck provides space to eat and enjoy the views. The private, optionally heated, pool(date restrictions apply) and hot tub are there for your enjoyment. The covered outdoor space near the pool makes enjoying the shade on the hot afternoons a breeze! We hope you enjoy the personal touches throughout the home all there to help you enjoy your home away from home!

Guest recommendations
"Location to beach. Nice neighborhood. Location to the shopping area/boardwalk. Pool and hot tub. Beach supplies provided were nice."
"This was our first time going to the outer banks and it was absolutely fabulous! The house is so close to the water but still safe for our little ones (3 and 4 and our big ones 18 and 19 year olds) There was so much to do we enjoyed every minute. Except packing up and leaving. This house is absolutely beautiful and being able to bring our dog with us was the icing on the cake. She absolutely loved her stay! We had an all around happy family!!!"
"I loved the large king bedroom The home was so close to the ocean, and we could see and hear the ocean from the top floor. I spent a lot of time on that top deck. The kitchen was beautiful. The home was updated and it was so clean."
"Very clean great location multiple ocean views"
"Easy quick access to the beach! Loved sitting on the top deck watching the waves in the late afternoon. Pool and hot tub were well maintained and so nice to have. We found the sound access at the end of our trip and wish we would have spent the evenings there watching the sunset. It has a nice walkway to a pier with sitting area and provided a nice quiet spot to watch the sun go down."
"We had an amazing family vacation! The home was fantastic, location to beach was perfect and an easy walk or bike ride to Duck!"
"This was our third year at Seven Sandpipers and we love the closeness to the beach. The home is very clean."
Eileen- Thank you so much for leaving a review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and honored you chose our house 3 years in a row!! We were hoping to install a tiki bar but unfortunately the contractors ended up not responding. So we will keep trying:) We had to stagger the purchase of patio furniture but should get new tables by the pool for 2024. The grills we buy every year. The one there is currently less than 6 months old! They just weather super quick. There will be a new one next season though. Again, thank you for your feedback. We are listening!!
"The location of the house was great with close proximity to the beach access. Loved there were gates for the stairs since we had 2 toddlers and 2 infants with us."
"The heated pool and hot tub were amazing. The kids had so much fun in the pool. Loved the short walk to the beach as well. It was nice being in a quiet area and street right outside of town."
"Spacious, great layout with kids rooms on one floor and master on top main floor. Great location to the beach and everything within about 5-10 min in Duck. Pool and hot tub were a hit!"
"The location and amenities were exactly what we were looking for. This was our second year in the house and I’ve already pre booked for next year."
Thank you so much, David. We hope you like the updates. See you next year!!
"We really like the house. Very clean, great location !! Very short distance to the beach. You can actually see the sunrise from the deck :) Great location from the center of the town of Duck, and access to our favorite Duck Cottage, Aqua restaurant, and a little shopping center around Duck Cottage."
Thank you so much for your response and for choosing our home for your vacation. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay.
"We absolutely love staying at this home. This is our third time. The recent upgrades are great and location is perfect - directly across from the beach entrance. Home is very clean and well taken care of. Looking forward to coming back again!"
Thank you so much for coming back. Glad you like the updates. We would love to update the master bath but this is a big project...so some day!! See you next year and thank you again!
"This beach home was set up great. New kitchen is wonderful. Close to beach."
"The layout and space is perfect for our little group"
"This house is very comfortable. We stayed here a year ago and then again this year. The improvement that were made this year - all-new deck, new furniture in the bedrooms, hot tub and foosball coffee table - made a great house even better!"
"close to beach. walking distance to shops and restaurants, very nice pool area, upper floor living area and dining area was great for everyone to gather"
"Proximity to the beach; quiet cul de sac; in our price range so we can stay longer than 1 week"
"Location, view, pool, new deck and deck furniture. We love this house and have stayed there 3 years in a row."
"We have stayed at this same home for the past 3 years. We love the upgrades that were done this past year including the addition of the hot tub and the rooms with the bunk beds."
"We have been renting Seven Sandpipers for over 30+ yrs, long before the new name. The upgrades are wonderful and we really appreciate being listened to."
"Probably #1 or 2 of all the houses we’ve rented on the Outer Banks over 35yrs. Clean, well-appointed, close to beach. Beautiful pool and hot tub. Twiddy great to work with. Had an air conditioning problem on Day2 and they had their people there early next day and some from school service shortly thereafter. Close to beach."
"The home was perfectly set up. We had plenty of space and the kitchen had almost every amenity that you could think of. Outside was a beautiful spa and swimming pool. The porches were all brand new. They even had a lovely area set outside for evening socializing. Despite the wicked weather for the week we we had a wonderful time and will return again."
"The house was situated very closely to the access walkway to the beach. The pool and hot tub area was beautiful and well maintained and the kitchen was well equipped."
"Enjoyed the new kitchen and appliances. And the cleanliness of the home was exceptional in comparison to every other homes we've rented in the past. Actually, no home at the beach should have carpeting, especially a home that allows dogs. As I stated in my other comment to Twiddy, this home needs hooks and/or racks to hang and put things in the tiny bathrooms. The master bathroom could be renovated to use space from the master bedroom to enlarge it. It is too small to manage anything. No place to put anything."
"I was surprised to see it had been newly remodeled. It was a beautiful home. Close to the beach. Had everything we needed, bikes, chairs, pool toys, etc. TwiddyCo was very helpful with any questions we had. Very clean, and cozy!"
"The pictures given showed how nice of a house it was, and in the process had been remodeled and it is gorgeous. Well cleaned, and would definitely stay again!"
"Great home, close to beach, clean, pool area is excellent. Twiddy very responsive to messages and best company we have used in OBX. Thanks"
