Seahorse Inn and Cottages
The price we paid was affordable for a vacation in the OBX. With that said hospitality, cleanliness and sanitary conditions should never be compromised. The room had sheets that were stained and had a bad odor. Water bugs and roaches came in at times. No housekeeping ever came during our 4 night ...

Stay in the Old Beach Style Flat Top House! Quick walk to the ocean!
Location was great and we loved all of the space we had. Very short walk to the beach, we would definitely rent again.
