I had a wonderful stay at the Sea Horse Motel! The location is perfect—just a short walk to restaurants, shops, and the beach. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I highly recommend this place.

Lovely little motel

Room was warm, clean and provided everything we required. Beds were comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Especially loved the fact that we could park right in front of our room and unpack with ease. There was no official check in/out desk, but staff were walking around and was able to assist. My only complaint was that we didn't stay for additional nights. Lovely location, felt safe. Great restaurant options around the corner!

This property was fantastic. The room looked like it had just been tastefully renovated, and the grounds were immaculate. Other features, like plant-spaced car parking, a very nice outdoor pool, and available BBQs rounded out our list of top additional features. We had a fantastic two nights at this wonderful property.
