Enter through the side door into the hallway with coat and shoe storage and open plan living space. There's a well-equipped kitchen with tall fridge-freezer, electric convection oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and washer-dryer, and a dining table with seating for 5. In the front living area, you'll find a new smart TV, sofa-chaise, and tub armchair. There are bifold doors onto the front deck.

The front deck has a cube table and chairs, and gets the morning sun, ideal for alfresco breakfast or morning coffee. The children can also play on the communal lawns at the rear of the neighbouring houses. We leave lots of toys and equipment in the store box near the side door.

The house has a driveway with space for 2 cars.

Heating

The house has gas central heating, electric towel rails in the bathrooms, and a log burner too. We do not supply logs.

The driveway/path sleepers can be uneven and slippery when wet and therefore this property may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.

Excellent property. Immaculately clean.

First class property ideal location for beach and cliff walks. Everything needed in the property which one would have at home. Well kept gardens and area. Value for money with good back up service if required from the property manager (Paula). Would recommend these properties to anyone. The cleaning teams are outstanding.

Sea Urchin beach housr

We had a lovely time at the sea urchin beach house. We have been coming to the bay for many year's off and on. I remember them building these beach houses. So glad we got to stay in one. Beautiful clean and well equipped. Makes for a restful mini break. Will definitely be back.

Perfect in every way!

Sea Urchins Beach House is a fantastic place. Beautifully presented and extremely clean. The location is great, you can be walking on the seafront at Filey, Bridlington or Scarborough after just a few minutes drive. Where it’s positioned in the ‘village’ it was very quiet, obviously in the middle of summer it may be not so. We will definitely return to Sea Urchins if it’s available when we next have a break.

Best of British

We had a perfect British holiday in this luxurious beach house. The accommodation was first class and just a short walk to Filey’s unspoilt beach. The on site facilities were great, swimming pool, tennis court, pub/restaurant, convenience store and pizza restaurant. We had great days out; Sewerby Hall and Zoo, bird-watching at Bempton, seal watching at Flamborough, paddle boards at the North Yorkshire Water Park, surfing at Cayton Bay and pitch and putt near Filey village. Looking forward to returning soon!

Home from home

This is our second year staying in the Sea Urchin Beach House and we hope to return next summer. We can't fault it. It has every home comfort plus a welcome pack, plenty of children's games, jigsaws and beach equipment. There is good communication with the company.

Winter weekend.

Had a lovely stay at Sea Urchins. The accommodation has everything you need for a break away. It is located central to the amenities and within an easy walk to the beach. Although the lodge was clean there were areas for improvement which is reflected by my score of 4. Having said this I would return again.

Another short break at my happy place

Just love it here, must have stayed 14 times now! Found it in lock down. In my opinion the owners of the site need to do some further investment as the facilities are now somewhat tired and in need of overall. I miss the little independent cafe. Still happy place and always recommend.

A good compact family second home.

All the usual facilities were supplemented by a multitude of adult / child table top games in case of bad weather, with beach toys for children in the outside box. The settee was probably substantial as an extra bed but not too comfy for relaxing in.

Second stay

This was our second stay at Sea Urchins having stayed in December. Again all the facilities were available there is nothing that this house does not have. It was nice to see that the bedrooms had been re carpeted. The beach house is in a quiet location although not too far from the local amenities. Great access to Filey beach from the site. There are plenty of things to do in the area and plenty of dog friendly places to eat.

Drain Problem

Unfortunately the drain problem meant we could not use one of the toilets which was an inconvenience however this was the fault of the Bay itself. Paula tried her upmost to rectify the problem on our behalf and was always responsive after being contacted. This is the 4th time we have stayed at the Bay and would highly recommend it.

Loved it!

We spent a wonderful week at the beach house in August and definitely recommend it to you all! So relaxing. The beach house is full of games and books and DVDs. It's very homely and clean and a perfect space for our family of five. The Bay itself is so self contained, you don't need to leave its perimeters, and we hardly needed a car at all as when going into Filey we just walked down the beach. Thanks Paula and Tim!

Beautiful beach house, good location

We are regulars at The Bay and the 2 bedroom beach houses are perfect for a couple or small family. We love the seaside decor, good facilities and lots of extras provided. Cleaning and ustomer service are both excellent, the site is dog friendly. Dogs can use the nearby beach all year round (there are restrictions near the promenade during the summer). We used the swimming pool every day and enjoyed a walk to Filey and a walk to the beach cafe at Reighton Gap - from there you can take a path along the cliff top back to the site. Just check tide times before going down to the beach to be on the safe side! We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed sunshine every day!

The bay

I've stayed in this property twice .it's very nice but couple of things .the settee is very un comfortable had to keep putting g lots of pilliws behind me. Was slipping of it. Also outside drain needs cover over it very dangerous at night. And parking sleepers falling to bits quiet dangerous. But really enjoyed my stay.

Lovely Beach house

Sea Urchins beach house is really homely, all the mod cons you need for a comfortable stay. All the decor and knickknacks are really quirky. Comfy beds but again Not fitted bottom sheets which does make a difference to a good nights sleep. The smaller bedroom with 2 singles pushed together has a fitted sheet on but didnt fit and only just went over top edges of the mattress so came off most nights. It wasnt easy to get back on. Location is great just down from all the amenities and close to beach walk. Very nice outdoor furniture with cushions kept in small bedroom to make it even more comfortable.

Beach-side Heaven!

We have just enjoyed a wonderful 5 day break at the "Sea Urchins", which is a beautiful New England style lodge with lots of little luxury touches which make a holiday special. The children enjoyed some of the games & DVDs in the evenings in front of the cosy log burner, after days spent running around on the fantastic Filey beach with Archie, our dog! They also went swimming every day and had a go at the Archery, rifle shooting and the sea scooters (in the pool!) So a fun-packed time! Also enjoyed a great (veggie) breakfast at the Café Italia- which was an added bonus on the first morning, as we had not been shopping! So much to do on the East Yorkshire coast as well, trips to York, Robin Hood's Bay, Whitby & Scarborough were also squeezed in! We would all love to come back again... thank you for providing such a tranquil and beautiful home to stay in!

Good stay

Lovely beach hut with everything you could need. Loads of kitchen equipment and utensils, games for the whole family, extra quilts/blankets, beach toys, relaxing log burner and outside furniture. Parking was great right next to hut. Location of hut it literally 1 minute walk from swimming, restaurant, pub, arcades. 5 to 10 minute walk to the beach. Dogs allowed on the beach all year. We had an issue with the main bed which couldn't be rectified there and they did try. It was easily resolved for us as the twin beds also turned into a double but this room was obviously smaller than the main bedroom and if we had the kids with us we couldn't of used the twin room. Hopefully this gets resolved as the beach hut was lovely and if this was resolved would definately stay again. Property always has hot water and 2 bathrooms which was great. Nights got a bit chilly which was great to have the log burner option. There is heating too but it told us the room was 24 degrees so when it was still chilly we couldn't get the heating on the last 2 nights. Blankets resolved this and it didn't spoil our visit. Friendly owners and lovely hut overall. Thank you
