"Every thing was great"

Seahorse Inn and Cottages

8/10 Good

"Loved the location and the staff! Cottage is across the street from the beach and Jennette's Pier! Great check-in process, very quick & budget friendly. Mgr was very helpful with tips & things to do in the local area. Very cute cottage and enjoyed the kitchen with full fridge with oven and microwave. I was able to cook my own meals and make coffee in the keurig. Wood floor was clean but did have dark streaks from people coming in with luggage. Shower had some mold on the shower corner but nothing big. The a/c kept the room cool but it did ice up and was sometimes loud. There's a door in the kitchen separating the units. Loud conversations can carry and you may be able to hear your neighbors. I loved the area and the cottages are charming. Enjoyed parking in front of the cottage. I'd definitely stay again!"
