Great property with beautiful views

Great property with beautiful views. Host was a great communicator. We loved the brand new deck and quiet neighborhood. The only downside was you need to provide your own linens along with some basic household items like trash bags, laundry soap, and hand soap. If you’re traveling by airplane this is not optimal. However, you’re… Read more “Great property with beautiful views”

Exactly what we wanted

Directly on the beach. Awesome views. Exactly what we wanted. Both my adult children had to do work from home. It was nice that they could work but still have the views of the ocean and were able to watch mom and dad on the beach while they worked! Great location. Elizabeth was very responsive.… Read more “Exactly what we wanted”

Unforgettable Stay at a Fantastic Beach House!

Our stay at the Sea Urchin Inn was incredibly relaxing! The sound of waves crashing against the shore, the salty breeze, and the stunning ocean views made for the perfect family getaway.

Satisfied Stay

we rented the property for the week of my son’s wedding. Other than Tropical Storm Ian and the wind gusts is was a fantastic stay. It was very hard with the wind and sand to enter and exit to our vehicles. But otherwise it was very good.

Right on the Beach

We really enjoyed our week at the Sea Urchin. The house is literally on the beach. The kitchen was sufficiently equipped with pots and pans and we cooked in most nights, and rarely left the beach!! Thank you so much!

Birthdays celebrations at the OBX.

The property was the perfect setting for our annual OBX stay to celebrate our birthdays. The location of the beach house was ideal for observing wonderful sunrises while watching dolphins play in the surf. The house was very well appointed with necessary utensils and appliances. We will certainly visit this property again next year.

Beautiful beach stay!

What a delightful beach house! I took my kids and family for spring break and, while too cold to enjoy the water and occasionally too windy to even go outside, we enjoyed the sight and sound of the ocean from every window!! There is a lot of sand and you have to walk through it… Read more “Beautiful beach stay!”

Great spot!

The view from this house are fantastic. You can sit anywhere in the common living space with your morning coffee and have a view of the ocean and beach. The location is great for families as well. We stayed in January, and it was perfect for an off season weekend. The hosts communicate well.

Beautiful views by the Ocean

Despite it being November, we got out almost every day and enjoyed the stellar views from the main floor and balcony. We even saw some dolphins, which was unexpected. Our multi-generational family enjoyed the coziness of the family and living spaces and each room had a TV with roku for all of our different viewing… Read more “Beautiful views by the Ocean”

Cant get any closer!

Location was perfect! While a bit tight in the kitchen all 6 adults were able to have the space we needed including our dog. Would’ve been great if there were high chairs on the top deck vs sitting on the picnic table. All in all – GREAT vacation, place to stay and no complaints!

Fall weekend

Nice Little Place on the Beach

So Comfortable

We’ve been going to Nags Head for many years. This is by far the best rental we’ve had.
