This is our third stay at the seahorse corral, and it accommodates our family perfectly! We love the proximity to the beach, as well as the two places to gather for different age groups and the wonderful decks. Since we always cook, we love the pots and pans and plenty of dishes for all of us. We will be back! Thanks again

Family Reunion

This is our 4th time staying at this house and it continues to be our favorite. Everything is perfect for multiple generations, people who like to cook, people who need solitary time, as well as opportunities for all 12 of us to be together for meals and other activities. Also, the owners are so pleasant and easy to work with.

Our family has been staying at this house now for a number of years and we will keep continuing to come back! We have a large family and there are plenty of beds to go around. There is also an upstairs flex space that is perfect for games after dinner. The hosts are always proactive to try to answer any questions before they come up. As anticipated, we had zero issues and check in/check out was a breeze. The views of the water from the top porch/deck are fabulous and the swinging chairs are a favorite hangout spot of mine :) highly recommend this property!!

Another amazing week at Seahorse Corral

This is our 3rd year staying at the Seahorse Corral and we love the house and the location. Great ocean views and the space is plentiful. The kitchen is large and fully stocked to handle cooking for a large amount of people. Making it even better is the fact that Scott and Roxane are fantastic hosts. There was an issue with a broken box spring that we were alerted to by the hosts and a new one was delivered and the old taken away. No inconvenience at all. We look forward to staying again next year and highly recommend this property to anyone thinking of renting - just not on the week that we want it!!

Absolutely Perfect!

We stayed at this amazing beach home for a family gathering. The location could not be more perfect! Very easy to get to and almost directly across the street from the beach access. We could tell when we walked into the house that the owners truly take a lot of pride in ownership of this home. It was very clean and just like the description and photos of the house. The kitchen is the best one we have ever had in the many homes we have rented on VRBO. All needed cookware, utensils, and appliances were there and clean. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very clean and all linens were clean and neatly organized on shelves in the laundry room. The sheets were even folded and packaged in sets wrapped with elastic bands that were labeled by what size bed they were for. The owners are very quick to reply if you have any questions during your stay. This was one of the best weekend getaways we have ever had and we will definitely be back.

If you like mellow and comfortable, this is your place.

This is one of my favorite houses in 50 years of beach stays.. Comfortable, well-appointed house in layout and furnishings. You’ll love the upper deck, especially in the evening. At quiet end of island. A 5-10 minute drive for some conveniences which leaves this house a peaceful retreat. Close to beach and ICW. Just don’t come on my week.

We didn't want to leave!

This was our first time together as a whole family in years. It was so much fun, so relaxing, and we absolutely loved being steps away from the beach. We spent most of our time hunting shark teeth and enjoying the waves, but we also enjoyed getting together at the end of the night to play games in this wonderful home. I highly recommend!

This is by far one of the cleanest, nicest and best beach houses we have ever stayed at. It’s so close to the public access, it’s like having an oceanfront house. The views are spectacular from the top deck and the house is perfect for our family needs.

Perfect in every way

This is the third time we’ve stayed here, and every time was perfect in every way. There were three families - 3 first cousins with their spouses and children - a total of 12 people. With 5 bedrooms, 1 with bunk beds for kids, everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. With 2 living spaces, one on each floor, multiple activities took place simultaneously. The kitchen is large and exceptionally well equipped. With a table that seats 8 and 4 seats at the counter, everyone could sit together for meals. It is located only 2 houses away from a handicapped accessible access to the beach. Being at the quiet end of the beach, we had very few people sharing the beach with us. It is a very wide beach, especially at low tide. The owners have always been excellent to work with, responding quickly to questions and making sure everything is in working order. We will definitely be renting from them again,
