We really liked out little cottage. The only issue was our last night there at 3:35 am the smoke alarm went off 3 times. We checked everything and everything was ok. Then around 8:00 am it went off again. I reported this to the office.. we would stay here again.

Year after year I find myself coming back to The Seahorse. The rooms are always clean and comfortable. The location is perfect for me. It's convenient to all that Nags Head has to offer while still being a little slower paced than areas a little further north. I'm already looking forward to next time!
