Quick trip to the Seahorse Inn and Cottages

Made a last minute booking and don't regret it. The room had a beautiful view of the ocean, staff was kind and helpful. Easy access to the highway and activities nearby. The cottages looked fun(didn't stay in one) but they lack the ocean view that the 3rd floor offers, well worth the trip up the stairs.

I stay at the Seahorse whenever I visit the Outer Banks, and frankly, wouldn't stay anywhere else. The cottages are lovely and the family that runs it is so sweet. Check-in is a breeze, and the room itself is always clean and comfortable. The family that runs it also remembers me and puts me in the same room everytime. It's such a small thing, but it's those tiny personal touches that make this inn what it is. Keep doing what you're doing, Seahorse, and I'll see you next time.

Late April 2025 I stayed a night at one of the "cottage" units with kitchenette. The unit was clean and orderly, with an adequate selection of kitchenette appliances and utensils. Interior lights were varied and gave sufficient illumination. Parking was right outside the door. The ice machine by the office worked well. I observed renovation in progress for other units. Check in was like using an ATM. OK. Overall good experience.
