About this house rental

Now booking the 2024 Season.
New for 2024 - New decks! Completed in 2023 - all new siding and windows.

The house was most recently featured on HGTV's Beachfront Bargain Hunt as Ocean Dreams.

This BEAUTIFUL Old Nags Head style home is oceanfront, with uninterrupted views of the beach and ocean with an affordable price tag!

The Sea Urchin Inn is located in a quiet area of the Outer Banks, yet is still close to great local restaurants, shopping, and family attractions.

This comfy beachy cottage is the perfect beach getaway and has everything you need for a great family vacation. You and your family will enjoy the large, uncrowded, and family oriented beach.

Our spacious floor plan includes a living room, a bright and sunny kitchen and dining area with plenty of seating for the entire family.

Relax with your morning cup of coffee on the sun deck with your ocean view - enjoying the cool breeze and relaxing ocean sounds. Spend your days sunbathing or splashing around with the kids at the beach. Come back and let your stress drift away under the stars while listening to the ocean sounds. Enjoy cooking your meals out on our charcoal grill or preparing them in the well stocked kitchen...and if you don't feel like cooking you're just a few minutes away from the best restaurants the OBX has to offer!

If your family has been looking to turn their vacation into wonderful memories, look no further because you've reached your paradise at the Sea Urchin Inn!

We hope you will make The Sea Urchin Inn the vacation house you return to year after year.

We had a wonderful time at The Sea Urchin! You can’t beat the location - it is right on the beach which we truly enjoyed. We were there with four adults and a baby. We had plenty of space for everyone. It was nice they had a high chair and a gate to block the stairway for the baby. We had a wonderful time and would love to stay there again. Thank you!

We loved the location of the house and the owners were responsive to our concerns: we bought a hose to hose down the dogs and help with filling a water bucket as the outdoor shower requires a walk through the sand. The owners reimbursed us. We also bought some door hooks and hangers for the closets which they reimbursed us for. There were a number of other items that we provided direct feedback about to the owners that they said they would work on, most notably the safety concerns of the old deck, which had loose railings, protruding nails and some missing pieces that could lead to a serious accident. Less imperative items we let them know about include discomfort of the mattresses, needing to have light bulbs in the lamps, having lamps near outlets, having more outdoor furniture to actually enjoy the view and installing some sort of gate on the porch so dogs don't run off and away (my husband made one with rope that worked for our stay). With a little bit more love and care, this house has the potential for a five star review and I hope to see a review imminently that states the aforementioned concerns have been remedied, as promised by the owners.

Didn't find the home to be very clean. Much evidence of dogs having stayed there previously. Owner was very responsive to needed repairs. Found kitchen to be very well equipped. Overall our family enjoyed the home and had a great time.

Overall the stay was decent. The location was amazing and right on the beach which was really convenient, but as for the whole experience at the house as a whole, I truly feel we were given the bare minimum for the visit. I was still amazed that it was up to us to figure out the linens (all beach and bathroom towels, bath mat, and all our sheets). It ended up taking up a whole suitcase for us to bring or else we would have had to pay a couple extra hundred for all the necessary things from a rental agency. Also one of the pillows my nephew was using smelled of pee which makes me think the cleaning is a very shallow clean job and it was missed. Lastly there was only like one pillow per person on springy beds, no toilet paper , not even just 1 role even after a long day of traveling, so we had to make a second trip for a sponge, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags etc. I understand maybe some of this was in the listing but it was my first time experiencing these types of things. The second half of our trip in NC at a different location (also on a beach) was a night and day difference with what was provided for the cost. We had a little goodie bag with a starter soap, sponge, etc with at least 2 toilet rolls, paper towels, paper plates and garbage bags with tons of extra things including extra blankets, pillows, and comfortable beds In the end I think the location was worth it but the bare minimum was given because they know people will still rent it regardless.

House is definitely on the beach which was the only accurate description. With much disappointment we ended up cutting our vacation short. We had planned on staying Friday to Wednesday but instead left Sunday morning. The pictures and description of the home are misleading. The only thing that isn’t misleading- is how close to the beach you are. The pictures of the home itself and inside of the home are not what you see on VRBO. Inside the home, it is arranged differently. The coffee table spot doesn’t exist, there are not any chairs in the balcony that allow you to look over the railing. The railing itself is not sturdy. I would not let anyone lean on the railing for fear of it falling. The home is outdated, TV’s, master bathroom shower and shower head. TV in upstairs master bedroom worked on and off. The house itself was moderately clean. Considering it’s the renters responsibility to clean the house before departure, it doesn’t look like they do much else. On top of all this, we are responsible for providing linens, paper products and trash bags. All this with the understanding that there are absolutely no refunds. I emailed Elizabeth Sunday that we were leaving early and have not received any communication since. In summary, if you want a house that’s literally “ in the sand on the beach” this is your place. But don’t expect much of anything else.

We did not get to enjoy the beach as high winds made it impossible/painful to be on the beach. Blowing sand buried the first few steps to the house (and caused damage to our car). But once we got unpacked the panoramic views of the crashing waves, the pelicans navigating the winds and the constantly changing clouds awed and entertained us!
