As Close As You Can Get! Oceanfront Panoramic Views

Now booking the 2025 Season.
Completed in 2024 - All 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!

Right by the ocean

This house is located right on the ocean. 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.

Great Location

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!

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.

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!

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. 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!!

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.

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.

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.

Nice but missing a few essential items

Beautiful views and foot steps away from ocean. The house was sandy when we arrived (which may be hard to avoid given the house is located right next to a dune). All of the remotes were missing batteries and we had to make an extra grocery trip for essentials (toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, etc). There are also no chairs for the decks so make sure to bring your own.

Amazing Location

This is an older home, so don’t expect luxury, but the location is amazing. The house is right on the beach, as pictured. The home is not luxurious, but it has everything necessary for a great beach stay. The entertainment systems are very up to date, and include lots of streaming services for rainy days. We appreciated the ice in the door refrigerator, but the microwave was a bit underwhelming. The kitchen had everything you’d need, although it could be organized better, and duplicates deleted. We had a great vacation. Checking in and out was easy and communication with the owner was great. We would go back, and I recommend it.

The location was great! The house is right on the beach. The house and deck do need some updating. There were issues with the remotes , lights working in the bathrooms, lose boards on the deck and other small issues. I was in contact with the owner but the handyman was unable to get there during our stay. I did send a follow up email to the owners and they did respond with a voicemail saying they would address the needs. Overall my family had a great week it was just a lot of little things for the overall price.

Location, location location!

Nice property and enjoyed our stay! If it’s beach you’re looking for, this property is right on the beach!! I rated it 4 stars rather than five only because for the price, they should at the very least provide some deck chairs. The picnic table had clearly seen it’s better days! I would add that several of the spindles on the deck rails were loose / could be a danger for kids! Also, several light bulbs were dead and no spare bulbs were provided, towel racks in bathrooms were flimsy and finally, the cut wires (like barbed wire) wrapped around the building support pillars under the building are a serious safety hazard, again especially for kids.

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!

Beautiful Views

The house overall was incredible. For a winter get away during these strange times it was just what the doctor ordered. You can not get any closer to the ocean. Every angle/room has a view of the ocean which is incredible. As it was in the winter it was hard to utilize the decks as it was freezing outside. The house needs some updating and a furniture upgrade but would recommend.
