    VIEWS! VIEWS! VIEWS! Out every window except 1 back bedroom-even the laundry room! The only concern is the steep steps and banister with couch up against for small children-fear of falling either down steps or over back of couch. But if constantly aware/watching (we moved couch away so if kiddo went over back would just hit floor not down steps) it’s doable The house had such old charm and was just perfect. Open floor plan-kids doing puzzle on the table, sitting on the couch drinking cup coffee with the most GORGEOUS ocean soothing your cares away. Incredible sunrises. Incredible sunsets behind you! Hide tide literally came under the house. I seriously could move in forever!

    Great location! Comfortable beds. Bring along some throw rugs to keep the sand out!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.
