Has potential if taken care of properly. Lots of mold in bathroom, very limited soap and towels as no one stays on property. Virtual kiosk will check you in and out, very limited people on property.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Stayed in the handicap room with windows on 3 sides. Liked the four safety grab bars in the bathroom, hair dryer, ample quality clean towels, easy step-in shower. Beds were comfortable, clean quality linens. Kitchenette was clean, had stove, double sink, full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster, dishes, counter with bar stools. AC worked properly but was a bit noisy though it helped to drowned out the road noise due to room on end of building next to road. Parking next to room and handicap ramp is convenient. Front desk employee very helpful. Would stay here again.

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.

No refund for night 2 after checking out early, ethics are dead sadly .. after our room had poor bedding area with unclean sheets, blood stain on the mattress cover, sand in the sheets , black mold on the ceiling in the first room so we moved to another , I've stayed here many times but if they don't turn something around quickly the business is going down hill fast

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.
