Guest recommendations
"We love the layout of the house, the location, and the proximity to the beach. Some of us have knee issues, and having the stairs broken up between levels is perfect - and bedrooms at the rise of the first set of steps works great! The private boardwalk to the beach saves effort, too, and lets us out directly onto our own private-feeling strip of land."
"Beautiful home. Our stay was perfect!! The house had everything we needed. Would definitely stay at this location again."
"Dog Friendly. Right on ocean so great views. Very comfortable, feels like home."
"Proximity to the beach can't be beat. Appointments are perfect."
"Location perfect"
"Beautiful, well equipped home. The panoramic view is amazing and the great room is large but still cozy, with comfy wall to wall carpeting. Close to shopping and conveniences. Loved the pool and hot tub! Just booked our 4th year in a row here."
"Location, hot tub, ice maker, king size beds in 3 bedrooms, large top floor with tables for playing games, very nice kitchen"
"Close to beach, beautiful views"
"Literally on the beach. The porch was overlooking the ocean with great chairs. Sunrises were spectacular. Highest recommendation possible."
"We loved the new furniture in the living room this year. So much more comfortable! This house is awesome. Fantastic location."
"The floorplan at Sea Horsing Around was perfect for our aging knees and aging dogs, we appreciated the landings that broke up the stairs so we didn't have to tackle them all at once. The house location couldn't be better for access to the beach, and we loved the shower, bathroom, and footwash right off the walkway. We had two unexpected issues during our stay (storm winds took the power out for a short period) and the Twiddy after hours staff took excellent care of us - their communication, quick response, and friendly assistance were much appreciated!"
"The decor was exceptional. The kitchen was so well stocked with everything that could be needed. The fact that a hose and window cleaner were placed outside on the decks to keep the windows clean was fantastic."
"You are close to the beach, no dune in your way. The house has everything you need. Bonus being pet friendly. This was our 7th stay at the house and have it rented for next year. Thought of getting a different place but after looking around, we love this house too much to pass it up next year."
"There's so much to like about Sea Horsin' Around. From the oceanfrontest setting to the bed and bath count, It's a great home."
"Sea Horsing Around has a fantastic location to the beach, with sweeping ocean views and close to nearby shopping needs. It was greater for our group of 9. The pool, hot tub, outdoor shower and outdoor toilet were great amenities I’m not sure we can go without in future beach trips. A bonus was an ice maker in the kitchen and full sized new washer/dryer."
"This was the 6th time we have stay at Sea Horsing Around. The dogs feel right at home here. They remember the house each year we come down. We appreciate the carpet though out the house. The dogs don't slip like they would on hardwood floors. Hard to find homes with all carpet when booking a vacation. The views of the beach from the decks are wonderful. House comes with everything you would need. Cannot wait to we come back in 2023"
"Can't get more oceanfront than this!"
"It is our 3rd time staying in Sea Horsing Around. We love the way the house is divided into 3 floors. It is equipped with all any families need to prepare meals for everyone. The bedrooms are perfect with each one having its own bathroom. That is great! We love having our own pool and everyone has a great time in it. The recreation room on the bottom floor is relaxing and fun. We love Sea Horsing Around!"
"Sea Horsing Around is a wonderful house. It is well equipped, well situated and is perfect for our family of 10. We have loved every year that we have been there and are already counting the days until our beach trip for 2023."
"This was my family’s third year at this home. Needless to say it truly marks all the boxes. But this year both Twiddy and the home owner stepped up when we lost the upstairs AC unit. With the world in short supply of many things, they were able to locate a new unit and have our AC restored within 7 hours. Also thanks to the HVAC installers. We have booked for our fourth year and it’s a great way to spent my three daughters inheritance. 😊"
"The house was fabulous. It has everything you need and then some."
"Everything!"
"My husband, I and 2, 4 legged fur babies love this house. We have stayed here 5 times and have booked it for the 2022 season. The house is very homely feeling and so close to the beach with a wonderful view. Fully stocked with everything you need. Wish we owned this house."
"This is the best house we've stayed in and we are looking forward to new year!"
"Sea Horsing Around was super. It has three master suites, one bunk bed room, and a pair of twins. The views off the top deck were fantastic, and being able to look up and down the beach from the deck or even from the family room on the top floor was such a treat. The pool is a nice size for getting the younger crowd to splash around. The furnishings are very nice, and the kitchen has everything I can think of. We would absolutely stay here again if our plans work out that way."
"It was our first time to visit the Outer Banks with our family. We enjoyed Sea Horsing Around, and rebooked for 2022. The home is great, and very hard to beat beachfront property, as well as Southern Shoes. Loved the ice maker. pool, kitchen, multiple decks, pool table, being so close to the water. Fishing is not the best in July, but July 4th fireworks were fantastic. If you enjoy riding the waves on boogie boards, consider beach front property. In addition, everyone had fun watching the ghost crabs run across the beach at night."
"Great location. Great amenities -hot tub & pool & outside shower/bathroom &everything needed to enjoy the ocean."
"By far the best home we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in! Beautifully kept and well appointed. Sea Horsin Around has become our spot for our annual OBX visit!"
"This house is a great beach home. Love views from windows and decks. We had a great time and the only place we went was bait store. Very relaxing and comfortable."
"This is the 4th time my husband and dogs have stayed at the house. In fact we booked it again for 2021. Love the house. Like home feeling. Very relaxing and great views."
"Great location, beach views and house is well stocked. Need to add a cargo lift to top floor. Needs a small fridge in pool room. Good service from Twiddy."
"This is a beautiful house in a fantastic location!"
"This is a great home...well provisioned with lots of appliances and serving/dinnerware. We had a great time. It's beach location was perfect for a pandemic since we were never crowded and the oldest of us never left the property. There were lots of beach chairs, equipment and pool tools in the carport closet and the drink fridge in the pool table room made it easy to constantly have cold drinks. The ice maker in the kitchen was another plus. This was our third year at Sea Horsin' Around and we are looking forward to 2021. One negative is the "kennel" at the home behind the house. The owner takes the dogs out to the cages between 7 and 7:30 and the barking begins. It really bothered some of our family...others slept through it. Supposedly this is a private kennel for the woman who lives there with her 4 dogs, but there were often more than 4 dogs and it is hard to believe that 4 dogs would require 3 dog runs. I don't know that anything can be done about it, but you should be aware that there is an early morning wake up call from the dogs that you will have to deal with."
"House was exactly as pictured in presentation. Excellent location. Almost your own private beach, no need to worry about a crowd and/or equal distancing. Cleaning staff was excellent. All in all a wonderful family vacation ."
"This is our 2nd year in this home. We all love the openness and brightness of the house! The living area is spacious and it supplies you with games and puzzles. The kitchen is spacious as well. It has everything a family needs. The bedroom floor has plenty of room in each bedroom for what we need. The bottom floor is easy access to going to the beach and the house pool. We love having the pool. The recreation room has a pool table that the kids love. It’s also an office space for someone that comes with us. We truly love this house."
"Very nice home Beautiful location"
"Beautiful views, clean well maintained home."
