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!

Small, just enough for two. Close to the beach and not a busy area. The mildew/mold on the bath was a major turn off. Futon couch was uncomfortable but the bed was soft and I slept well. Parking is tight but it’s located on hotel property. Hard to understand employees, accent, but we’re nice. I’d stay again but wouldn’t go thru Expedia. Found out they charge me more so wasn’t a deal I thought it was.
