Cute and cozy

We really enjoyed our stay at the Seahorse Retreat. The location is convenient to the beach, restaurants and shopping. We always look for places that will allow our furry girls to travel with us and the retreat was perfect for them too. The treats, bags and bowls were wonderful. On beach days having the use of the beach wagon made the short trip to the beach even easier. Definitely a place we’ll return to.

Quick solo trip before work!

Had the most amazing stay at this property! I wanted a few days to relax on the beach before my work trip began and this was PERFECT! The location couldn’t have been better a block from the beach and less than 10 minute walk to the grocery store. Communication was great and easy check in/check out process. Perfect for a quick get away!
