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...

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...

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 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.

We have been vacationing in the Outer Banks for several years, and of all of the beach houses we have rented,
Sea Esta has been our favorite. The home had plenty of room for all of us, but still felt comfortable.
We loved the sleep number beds, the fact that every bed room has its own bath, the alarms on the doors that go to the pool,
the fully equipped kitchen, wireless internet, and of course the beautiful views.
Also, the keyless entry was great - we loved not having to worry about keys.
We already reserved this home for next year's vacation, and we can't wait!
Thanks for making your home so comfortable and for making our vacation a memorable one.

Another wonderful vacation at Sea Esta. We love your home.
The new appliances in the kitchen are fantastic, the new walk way over the dunes is so much easier
and we saw spectacular fireworks from there on the 4th.
Our Grandchildren spent hours in the pool and we have come to think of Sea Esta as our second home.
One of our Grandson's said after coming home that he "wanted to go back to Granmom's beach house".
Thanks for making it such a comfortable place for our whole family to enjoy, we look forward to many more summer's at Sea Esta.

We LOVE Sea Esta!! This is our 4th year
in this house, and it gets better each year.
We love the new amenities - ice maker in the
laundry room, new appliances, new decor and
carpeting, great new table and chairs on the
deck, additional lounge chairs around the
pool, etc.
We think it would be very helpful to make
the steps to and from the beach more accessible,
as the dunes have almost covered all stairs
up and down. My husband has MS, so it is getting
more and more difficult to get him up and down
without stairs to and from the beach. Ideally,
we'd love to see an elevator put in the house.
:) For the kids, a pool slide would be a blast!!
The cleaning crew didn't clean out the fridges
/ freezers before we arrived - there were still
sticky messes around. That wasn't a huge deal.
We are 100% completely satisfied with this amazing
beach house and have already booked again for
next year.
Thanks for making this a most enjoyable
and relaxing vacation for all!

Our second fun year at the Sea Esta! The
eight bedrooms are all so comfy, and fit our
3 generations very well. Thanks for the icemaker
in the laundry room. It was a big help for happy
hour at the pool especially.
I know it is a
large house, but the cleaning was questionable.
Two or three of the bathrooms and at least one
the bedrooms brought complaints about sand and
mildew. The shower liners were on the verge
of grungy. We cleaned out several of the kitchen
drawers and trash cupboards that were messy.
Just want you to know.
All in all, we really
enjoy your house!

This is our second stay at Sea Esta and
all four generations enjoyed our visit.
The
cleaners did a better job this year but did
not remove all the trash from the kitchen nor
wipe out the bottom of the cupboard that holds
the trash bins. Our linens did not arrive until
7:30 after two phone calls. There was no note
stating they were going to be late.
We LOVED
all the new amenities in the kitchen, as we
have several cooks who spend the week trying
to outdo each other.
The new carpeting and decor
was also greatly appreciated. A suggestion is
something to clean the bottom of the pool with.
We hosed down the decks after the storm but
had no way to get all the sand out of the pool.
We have already booked again for next year.

We have had a great time here at Sea Esta,
being on the beach is awesome, the pool and
hot tub are wonderful. The house is perfect-we
appreciate all the thoughtfulness that the owners
put into the home for their guests. It really
makes a difference. Love it!!

| 04/25/06 | We got married
on the beach outside of Sea Esta and had our
reception inside and on the decks. It was absolutely
beautiful! Although I had reviewed the amenities
thoroughly, the house had so much more to offer
than we had ever imagined! And relaxing all
week long....it was wonderful. We recommend
this house 100%.

Well it is Tuesday, all 14 of us are having
a truely enjoyable vacation. The Sea Esta owners
have provided so much of those things we take
for granted when we travel like... spices galore,
top notch pots, pans, and cooking supplies.
Even a 45 cup coffee maker! The paperback novels,
movie selection, and games keep up busy on the
inevitable rainy day.
When we lay out at the
pool we fill our coolers with drinks and ice
from the mass ice maker in the laundry room.
3 fridges for food and drink each of them stocked
to the brink with 14 people to feed!
I was shocked
to see the full computer, phone, fax, printer,
etc. I have been able to get the few updates
I needed from work to keep me from worrying
about what was happening in the office. My husband
has his computer upstairs in the kitchen so
he can watch the waves... no problem with the
wireless access throughout the house.
I recommend
this home as a vacation choice. We actually
had chose a different home, put a deposit on
it, and were called to be told that it was being
requested by the owners so we had to pick a
different house. I am very glad for that issue
at this time.....
The only problem we have had
is the pool heater broke. The man fixing it
has been wonderful and very open to us about
what is going on. We appreciate the candor and
thank the owner of the home for making the fixes
in a timely and efficient manner. As they say
"there are always mistakes, things that break,
it's how you fix those things that make the
difference."
Pick Sea Esta... it is worth
every penny.

I am addressing all of u potential rentors.
THIS HOUSE is #1!!!!!!!!!!!!! U should definitely
stay here. I have been here on a number of occasions
with my family and have loved every minute of
it! This house gets nothing but positives from
me. I probably liked the Gamecube and the hottub
the best but those are only a few of this magnificent
house's strong points. It also features a heated
pool, private beach access, TVs in all of the
master bedrooms and a superb entertainment center.
It features a pool table and a huge wide screen
TV. This is the best house for all ages and
I say this from many a phenomenal experience.
THIS IS THE BEST BEACH HOUSE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went on vacation at the Sea Esta with
friends and had one of the best vacations of
my entire life! A lot of great memories that
I will never forget. I especially will never
forget the dolphins! I had a awesome time! I
hope to go back again sometime but it will never
be the same as the first! Thank you for having
all of us!

Sea Esta offers the perfect balance between
being "homey and comfortable" and elegant. It
offers the best of both worlds, so you simultaneously
feel at home as well as that you are pampering
yourself. A wonderful vacation home. The pictures
do not do it justice; you have to see it to
believe it.

Perhaps the nicest, most well-equipped place
we've ever stayed at on the Outer Banks. Love
the new mattresses! It's great to have owners
who go so far out of their way to insure that
their guest have a positive experience. Thank
You! Lenore
