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

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 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!

So Comfortable

We’ve been going to Nags Head for many years. This is by far the best rental we’ve had. Perfectly located in the sense that we enjoyed a quiet beach but were minutes away from restaurants, entertainment, grocery stores, etc. The owners are lovely, promptly answering both my pre-arrival and post arrival phone and e-mail questions.… Read more “So Comfortable”

A. Dogs are allowed on the beach at all times as long as they are leashed. Owners must clean up after their dogs. Anyone who violates the leash law is subject to a criminal and/or civil penalty. The owner/handler is responsible for and must remove feces and possess a bag/container for waste removal at all times. You can get more information directly from the Town of Nags Head’s website HERE.

Q. Is there a maximum number of people?
A. The maximum number of people allowed is 12. This does not include infants in cribs.

In the event of cancellation or default after such time period, any remaining balance will still be due and required immediately upon cancellation. After the total balance is paid in full, every effort will be made to re-rent the Property; however if it cannot be re-rented, the rental money will be retained and the security deposit will be returned. If the balance is not paid in full upon cancellation, owner retains the right to keep any deposits paid and re-rent the house without refunding the Tenant because the contract was breached and balance was not paid in full. Tenant will be responsible for any discounts to the rental rate extended to re-rent the Property. Owner urges Tenant to purchase trip cancellation insurance.
