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 is a no frills motel with an EXCELLENT location. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We rented one with a "kitchenette" that was really more like a closet, but it certainly worked! Having a full sized refrigerator & freezer was worth it. Bar sized sink, 4 burner stove and a microwave. The bathroom is really, really tiny and the shower is quite small, but again, it all worked for us. The other patrons were families, fisher people and people with pets. Everyone was very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.
