The Sea Urchin - Charming 4 Bedroom Coastal Home

Step inside this 4 bedroom, 2 bath farmhouse coastal cottage and be charmed by its quaint decor. Located in a cute neighborhood surrounded by mature live oaks and quiet streets, making it the perfect spot for bike riding and daily walks, The Sea Urchin is just a short walk to a nearby beach access. You’ll find yourself surrounded by refreshing coastal décor with a hint of farmhouse charm, plank flooring and tongue and groove ceilings throughout.
