Stayed for 3nights.. location to the beach is well within walking distance. Since it is "off season" not many places open in walking distance. Room was enough space. Walls are kinda thin, 1st night there we heard the next door guests fighting and arguing all night. I would suggest adding more towel racks, also maybe cushions on the chairs in the room. Only 2 pillows (given 2 more after asking) on bed, so either bring your own or make sure you ask for more. The housekeeping woman, owner and other staff were friendly and accommodating. All in all, we'd stay again.

Great place to stay! 1 block from the beach, and $5 beach access badges available. The room was very modern and clean. It felt more like a hotel than a motel. The pool was very convenient and refreshing when we didn’t want to go to the beach.

This place is a quaint motel mom and pop owned, the owners are very nice. The rooms are nice and clean, the bars of soap could be more substantial. And the chairs could use a cushion but other than that the bed is comfy the blankets could be a little thicker.. but overall I give it

We love staying at the Seahorse!! The rooms are beautiful and so clean. There's a nice grill area to the side of the hotel and the property is beautifully maintained. The pool is perfect after a day on the beach, which is a short one block walk. There's plenty of shopping near by, as well. Shout out to Marie who was able to move our friends to the room next door to us! Excellent location & the staff is wonderful. The owner is so accommodating and always lets my little boy say hi to her cute pug. Thank you, Elaina, for another amazing stay. FIVE STARS

Just had a great stay at the Sea Horse! The room was so cute! It had a nice layout and had a great bathroom too! And the pool was great too! A nice size and refreshing!! Only a short walk to the beach! Just wish it was closer(walking distance) to more shopping and food options. But other than that it was in a great location, not too far off causeway! I will definitely be back to the Sea Horse!

We come every year because the place is great and the staff is AMAZING!!!! Clean bright rooms, good AC and nice pool! Perfect location! The front desk crew are the kindest people ever! The guy who does as the maintenance for the building, Chris, went WAY above and beyond for us. I was trying to blow up a pool tube and couldn’t so he got in his truck, drove to the Mariana and had it blown up for me! No charge, just pure kindness! 5 stars across the board!

I enjoyed the motel. The people are nice. I loved the pool and so did my 6 year old. The rooms are nice and very clean. Love that they had a refrigerator because daddy o across cost much more but no fridge. Bring your own soap and body was because the bars they have are tiny. Great location. Everything you need is close. Motel is quiet.
