Clean little cabin on the river. Has its own little dock and so much for the kids to do! Love the oak trees and all the scenery. Communication with the host was prompt and friendly. Can’t wait to go back!

We were so excited to see your photos—thank you for sharing them! It truly means a lot to know your family enjoyed their time at Seahorse. We’re working hard to continue making it a great destination for families, and having both the river and near saltwater in one location makes it extra special. We’d love to welcome you back again soon!
About the host
Hosted by Jorge
Hello! My name is Maria, and together with my husband Jorge, we’re creating a family-friendly retreat called Seahorse—a peaceful 6-acre waterfront property designed for comfort, fun, and memorable experiences. Located just 20–30 minutes from beautiful local beaches, restaurants, and supermarkets, Seahorse is the perfect home base to relax and explore the Gulf Coast. Guests have private access to the bay by boat, and we recommend staying for a few days to truly enjoy everything the property and surrounding area have to offer. Seahorse is also an active plant nursery farm, and we’re working on growing it into a unique agrotourism destination complete with small farm animals in the near future. While we build toward that dream, you’ll still enjoy complete privacy and easy self check-in during your stay. Our cozy cabin is clean, well-appointed with thoughtful technology and amenities, and we’re excited to welcome our very first guests. Since we’re just launching, we truly value your feedback as we fine-tune every detail to make Seahorse an even more special place. We’ve priced our listing to reflect this exciting phase, and we’re grateful to those who help shape our journey with kind reviews.
What makes this property unique
Our goal is to create an agrotourism and family recreational destination.
