Recently updated bungalow w/pool & spa - dog friendly, short walk to beach

Nice place, great pool/spa, and yard. Cleaning leaves something to be desired, especially since they refused us even a moment of early check-in, apparently because the cleaners needed the entire day to clean. I appreciate the pet-friendly aspect, but there was still dog hair everywhere, so if you don't have a pet prepared, be aware of that. The sofa bed was proper gross when we opened it up, but luckily, there was an extra comforter to lay over the dirty sheets on it. Also would have been nice to have more than one pot's worth of coffee. Overall, a nice place, just sort of lacking a bit considering the cost.

This property has such a great layout and is well appointed. It was perfect for the three of us. I highly recommend.

We throughly enjoyed staying at this location!! We loved the closeness to the beach and the property itself.

Finally the perfect size a house for me, my hubby and pup. We struggle to find a home that’s pet friendly and has a fenced in backyard with 3+ bedrooms we won’t use. This beautiful home has everything we need and more. The screened in porch is a great place to read in the shade and the pool was perfect for sunning and cooling off without the hassle of sand or beach chairs. We can’t wait to go back!

We had a wonderful week at the Sea Urchin! It is so clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated. The backyard is a paradise and we felt very safe having our dog there with the fenced in yard and enclosed porch. We so loved the pool and the hot tub and the proximity to the beach (and town)! We will definitely be back!

Simply amazing. Already booked next year.

The pool and backyard really makes the Sea Urchin a 5 star getaway! The house is on the small side but it was just two of us and our pups so it worked out perfect for us. House was clean and nicely decorated. and was just a 2 minute walk to the beach.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sea Urchin. It was great for a small family of four plus a small dog. Quick walk to the beach and neighborhood park. The backyard was a perfect spot for the family to hang out. That all being said, there are two main reasons that I took off two stars. The hot tub was not hot when we got there and after several hours of trying to get it to work and text exchanges with the company I had to reset the breaker panel every time we wanted to heat the hot tub up. And it was not always clear if it was heating up. We would have to start the process an hour or two before we wanted to get in and sometimes wouldn’t know if it was actually heating up (there are no indicators of the heat being on so you’re basically doing trial and error). This is a big deal when the main purpose you select this property (and pay the premium price) is due to the hot tub amenity. Second, the door knob on the bathroom was broken (kept falling off) and my 5 year actually old got stuck in there (door handle fell completely off). Luckily I had pliers in my car and was able to open the door without the knob. Fix these issues and the property becomes 5 stars.

This is the second time we have stayed at The Sea Urchin on Folly. We absolutely love this charming house. The backyard and front porch is the perfect getaway spot. This will be an annual family tradition!

Pluses: The house is tiny but very cute, dog friendly, and in a great location. The beach is a short walk away and easily accessible. Check in was easy and smooth. I enjoyed rolling out my mat and doing yoga on the front porch when it was raining and on the grassy area when the sun was shining. Minuses: We were not able to fully enjoy the pool area because the two lounge chairs were busted and left rusting on the deck, so there was no where to sit. The kitchen was not very well appointed, lacking many basics. The communication with the property manager is all via text and automated. No response to my texts. The daily rate increased by 1/3 by the time all taxes and fees were tacked on.
