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!

We hope you will make The Sea Urchin Inn the vacation house you return to year after year.

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.

Our Annual Family Vacation

Didn't find the home to be very clean. Much evidence of dogs having stayed there previously. Owner was very responsive to needed repairs. Found kitchen to be very well equipped. Overall our family enjoyed the home and had a great time.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth & Lucas OBX Beach Paradise Vacations

My husband and I both grew up vacationing every year in the Outer Banks.

My family was the beach bum type. My mom has always been a lover of the beach so we spent every vacation on the beach as much as possible. From building sand castles, swimming, floating, boogie boarding, and having a nap on the beach...we knew how to relax! To this day my favorite thing to do is pack a picnic and eat lunch by the ocean. Seafood was always on the menu while at the beach so my dad would catch fish for us or go get us steamed crabs and shrimp!

My husbands family was more about the experience. They enjoyed visiting the aquarium, finding the best local restaurants, and playing putt putt. They knew how to find an adventure!

The two of us together are a pretty good mix of the two. We enjoy going and finding adventures but also love a good nap by the ocean.

Why they chose this property

The views out of every window are breathtaking. We love Nags Head. Here we really feel like we are away from it all - yet can still drive to everything within a few miles.
