We Love the Seahorse Cottage!! This was our second visit to OBX and our second stay here. We had the same cottage as last year and it was great! It has everything you need and is very comfortable. The staff are friendly & helpful. Walking distance to the pier & beach , Cahoons market, restaurants, etc. Thank you again Seahorse staff!

We like the quaint, beachy feel of the hotel, and the views from the 2nd and 3rd floor deck of the ocean. It's very walkable to Jennettes pier, stores and restaurants. We have stayed here probably a dozen times over the years.

It wasn’t very comfortable, I would have preferred a table and chairs vs a vinyl love seat. The room was fairly clean, but very old. Location was good. VERY noisy, especially the air conditioner. For the price we paid it was okay. Not sure we’d stay there again. Location was good
