My husband and I have been coming to the Seahorse for quite a while. It is one our favorite places to stay. Our room was well appointed, clean, comfortable and affordable. The staff has always been kind and helpful. The location across from Jeanette’s pier, the beach, Sam and Omie’s, ice cream and Calhoun’s makes walking distance very convenient.

This was a charming place to stay. Nothing fancy but had the basics amenities. Room was spacious and clean. I had a corner room right by the street amd didnt hear tje traffic. Check in and check out was easy. This is also one of the few places that I was able to bring my cats as they travel with me. I would definitely stay here again.
