If you choose, you can wake up as the sun slowly rises over the ocean. First, you'll see the horizon appear out of the darkness, then you'll be treated to the beauty of a sunrise, all from the comfort of a bed, again if you so choose. Everything else about the rental was fine, easy to eat, sleep, wake up, relax, and stay in this house. Memorable. Whalebone seafood nearby was excellent place to find what to cook in the well-equipped kitchen. ##### Warren W.

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. The house itself was spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed a few lazy days on the beach, reading from the upper and lower decks, watching three amazing sunrises, and hunting for shells. Overall, it was a wonderful and rejuvenating experience!! ##### Scott M.

Overall our family enjoyed the home and had a great time. ##### Larry P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Shelley L. 30 Mar 2016 #### Beautiful Beach Vacation Great place for the price, a few little things that the owners quickly responded to, like a broken coffee maker that they brought in a back up for, and deep sand covering the parking area (They told us where we could park one of our vehicles, but we had to work with the neighbors to use their parking when the 4-wheel drive went out on our truck). Totally worth every little quirk though! We loved being RIGHT ON THE BEACH! Great being there off season too with so little traffic and a nice quiet time with family in this spacious house. ##### Shelley L. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn B. 3 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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 after using the outdoor shower (which has hot water - nice surprise!!!), so I recommend keeping a bucket of water near the door to rinse your feet after a walk on the beach. Overall a really amazing experience. Thank you for sharing your house with us! ##### Kathryn B. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary L. 24 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular location 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! ##### Mary L. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sarah O. 5 Mar 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Needs TLC - we left a day early The location is nice - easy access to lots of OBX sights and activities and right on the beach. Unfortunately, the place is very run down. Every lamp was broken in some way. The slip covers on the sofas don't fit and looked very "used". Painting doesn't seem to have been done in a long time - giant chips off of the woodwork. Fireplace didn't work. Dirty windows. Rusted metal accessories. Towel bars falling out of the wall. No wifi. The kitchen seems to have been updated somewhat, but overall the place was just not good. We left a day early. ##### Sarah O. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Julia J. B. 27 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### great location and owners, house needs some love 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. ##### Julia J.

Although the owners are very nice and were in touch with us during our stay due to other issues, I would personally not stay here again. Your home is only as clean as you keep it, or in this case, pay someone else to do it. Of course I vacuumed before we left even though my dog does not shed but I am sure no one would have noticed if I didn't. When I checked under the beds to make sure nothing was left behind. I found numerous wads of "dust bunnies", a band-aid a sock(not ours) and tissues. The beds were a joke, mattresses were awful, felt like I was sleeping in a hole and forget the conditions of the mattress pads,gross. My daughter spotted a shirt between the couch and the wall that someone left. The kitchen, yes, recently upgraded, but it wouldn't hurt to get a broom between the counter and the refrigerator once in awhile.These are all things I would expect the cleaning person to take care of and notice especially for the price we paid. I planned on cooking there, but could not bring myself to do it, so instead we had take out. They offer a grill, but you can get a better grill at your local park. So honestly, the view and location can't be beat, but I can't help but feel we were taken advantage of because this is all they have going for them. I am sure there are plenty of CLEAN houses that have the same,maybe even better, views and beach access. Maybe some vacationers don't mind some of these things, which may be why it is the way it is, but I do mind and expect a little better for the price, especially when you hire someone and expect them to keep your house in good shape. ##### sandy j. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marian D. 26 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My family had so much fun!

The pictures do not do justice to the amazing views from this beachfront house. Check in was so easy; house was clean. Owner was very responsive via text. Excellent off-season getaway! ##### Seema F.

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. ##### Danielle T.

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! ##### John D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dennis M. 10 Jun 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### INCREDIBLE ocean front location and EXCELLENT customer care! The ocean front location of this property and the care provided to us by Lucas and Elizabeth Munn (owners and rental agents) were fantastic! The property is older and is showing signs of the wear and tear: we had several major maintenance related issues but Lucas was easily accessible by phone (and email) and responsive to every need. A priority was placed on the repairs and ultimately they were done to our complete satisfaction. The views and access to the beach are unmatched: the neighbors (owners and renters both) were lovely to meet and share the (almost private!) beach with. It is challenging to keep the sandy environment outside of the home. It is also a pet friendly home. ##### Dennis M.

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. ##### Raymond G. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022 ---
