Twiddy & Company makes The Outer Banks Promise

Promising to Protect the Outer Banks

Twiddy & Company is thrilled to participate in The Outer Banks Promise. As a company, we are dedicated to preserving the natural beauty and unique character of our home, the Outer Banks. It’s important to us to protect our beaches, wildlife, and local communities because this is what makes the Outer Banks special. We want to ensure that the Outer Banks remains a cherished place for our guests and their families who stay with us year after year.

At Twiddy & Company, we are passionate about preserving special buildings with authentic links to our past. Our passion for historic buildings is much more about the people than it is about the buildings themselves. We have restored the original Kill Devil Hills Lifesaving Station (now located in Corolla), the Wash Woods Station (on the 4×4 Beach), and other buildings in the historic Corolla Village. Both Lifesaving Stations are open to the public, so next time you are in the area, feel free to drop in and view the historic buildings.

When you book locally with Twiddy & Company, your dollars contribute to several local Outer Banks organizations and events that are near and dear to us, like the Outer Banks Community Foundation, Dare Education Foundation, College of the Albemarle, NC Community Foundation, Outer Banks Forum, and The Lost Colony. We also support Dare and Currituck County schools, events at locally-owned restaurants, and several other local organizations that assist members of our community.

Twiddy & Company has been locally owned and operated by the same family since our founding when we started in Duck in 1978 with four homes and has grown a little bit every year since. This means that our ownership structure focuses on local people, local investments, local communities, and the long-term happiness of guests as job number one.
