House was great, very clean and well stocked. A/C worked well, we stayed nice and cool all week! We loved the convenience to shops and grocery stores as well as the pool. Beds were comfortable and living space and outdoor spaces were very comfortable, we really enjoyed our stay!

We were very happy with our stay at the Zea Urchins. We were two families with 6 teenagers and had plenty of room for everyone. The house was very clean and nicely decorated with a fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, utensils) that allowed us to cook meals at home when we weren't eating out. The decks were nice to be able to sit out and have coffee in the morning. The house is very close to the beach, just a short walk down the street. The hot tub was nice and had been cleaned and was ready to go upon our arrival. The area around the house had plenty of shopping. We definitely recommend this home.

We had a relaxing and fun time in this well-kept beach house. The top floor living area is so full of natural light and with the high ceilings and natural wood details made for the perfect place for the family to hang out together. We thoroughly enjoyed the amenities. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described in the listing. Highly recommend!

Excellent

This house was a perfect happy medium. Super close to beach access, a 2-3 minute walk and the community pool is basically in the backyard.

House was perfect for all 11 members of our family, aged 7-72.. Close to stores, walk to the beach, community pool just a few steps away. The hot tub was great at night. Property manager was very responsive. Highly recommend.

We loved the location to pool, ocean, town and OB attractions. The walkability was excellent for the 2 teens with us who did not drive.Did not appreciate the noisy neighbors there for beach week. We weren't able to check in until 5, but that was probably a staffing issue. I emailed and texted management about availability of a grill. When a response came it was no grill so we brought a small one. And then there was one on the property with instructions on use. Small things that did not impact the enjoyment of our stay.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Zea Urchin during the last week of March/first week of April. We were able to easily walk to shops, restaurants, and most importantly— the beach! The home was clean, and comfortably furnished. If you are staying in-season, the pool is right behind the house for extremely easy access. Just note that if you are staying out of season, the pool will of course not be opened and some of the restaurants and shops will be closed or close early! We vacationed with our 10 month old and were happy to see a baby gate, pack n’ play, and high chair provided for our stay. Corolla is far away from, “the main drag,” but if you are wanting a true beach-y, laid-back, and less touristy feel for your vacation this is the spot for you!

Great home. Short walk to the beach. Hot Tub is great - fenced in to give privacy. Lots of amenities in the area. Definitely a great place to stay.

We were three families with young children on our first visit to the outer banks on a friends’ retreat. This house had everything we wanted! The home is beautifully and comfortably furnished. The decor pays tribute to the area’s history and natural beauty. It was spacious and the kids loved roaming the house on their playful adventures. Because the rooms are spread out over three floors, it was easy to have grown up time. We took turns cooking in the wonderfully appointed kitchen, and if I could take the dining room home, I would—it comfortably seated 12 people and got great light. We also enjoyed the fireplace, hot tub and foosbal table. Everything worked as intended. The living room was a fantastic gathering space. The light filled master bedroom with deck and whirlpool bath felt luxurious. On top of that, we were a short 3 minute walk to the beach and didn’t have to cross any big roads to get there. We enjoyed exploring Corolla and recommend the 4wd beach and curritick lighthouse/ whale head club. We were about a 35 minutes scenic drive away from Kitty Hawk, which we visited twice and also highly recommend. Overall, this home was a splendid, refreshing oasis for our families during our winter visit to the outer banks.

Awesome. Everything we needed

Close to shops and restaurants. This location was best for entertaining my family and with all basic needs in walking distance it made it easy to enjoy and relax on the beach.

This was the perfect house for a long weekend even though it rained the ENTIRE time!!! The house had enough space for us all to hang out and yet still get privacy when needed. We had 4 moms and 5 children (ranging from 2-14) and everyone loved it! We will definitely book again!
