When we got to the beach house it was honestly even better than we had expected! The property was so clean, the decor was updated, There were so many places to sit and watch the sun come up on the large porches! The rooms were very large! The bedrooms had enough space to let you escape to your room when you get over stimulated ( ) we loved having a bathroom for each bedroom! Would definitely recommend this home and stay in this home again!

Fantastic spot. Short walk to the beach but fraction of the cost of on beach properties.

😎 Love it, Brady! You cracked the code on Sea Urchins North — just a short walk to the sand but a fraction of what beachfront runs. Best of both worlds, right? Toes in the water in a couple minutes, more dollars left for the fun stuff. So glad it was a fantastic spot for you! Thank you for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for the home while it's fresh? Or ready to come back to Gulf Shores? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 👍

We had the best time every. The house was amazing and beautiful and very clean. And when we had questions about different things, our host answered promptly and was very informative. Our 4 year old wanted to live there forever. We would definitely stay there again.

🥰 Aw, wonderful, Shanna! "Best time ever" and a 4-year-old who wanted to live there forever?! That might be the best review a beach house can get — kids don't fake it! 😄 So glad the north side of Sea Urchins was amazing, beautiful, and squeaky clean for you, and that we could get your questions answered quickly along the way. So glad you'll be back — your littlest one will be thrilled! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for Sea Urchins? Or ready to set up that return? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

Spring return to Alabama

We had a great time.... We enjoyed the space, the living room/dining/kitchen was a great area. We liked the size of the bedrooms and the bunk room. It was very clean, which I appreciate. All in all it was a nice trip.

🥳 Yay! Thanks so much, Tammy! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Sea Urchins North — and especially that you loved the pool area! 🏖️💦 One of the things that makes this duplex so special is that each side has its own private pool, so no sharing with anyone else — perfect for families who want their own space while still enjoying a fantastic Gulf getaway. A smooth, relaxing, trouble-free stay like yours is exactly what we hope for all our guests — that’s what makes our stays 5-star experiences. Since we didn’t see any concerns mentioned in your review or during your stay, we’d love to know what we could improve to get that one star back with the rest of its 4 buddies! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reach out — we’d love to hear from you! When you’re ready to lock in your next Gulf Shores trip, we’d be delighted to host you again. And for even larger groups, you can rent both Sea Urchins North and South together for double the space and double the private pool fun. 😎

Wow! Great escape from the North... to Sea Urchins North!

Great escape from our northern weather (ND area... so any warmth is good warmth!). Sea Urchins was a wonderful place to land. Everything was clean, and the kitchen was well stocked for us to cook--even had sharp knives! Loved having the exxtra fridge too! See you next year--can't wait! :-)
