We enjoyed our stay so much. There was plenty for the kids to do, they were thrilled to have a pool to Jump into after a day at the beach. The teens enjoyed giving carrots and apples to the horses in the backyard. Recommend as a perfect getaway for a large family group!

Excellent Stay

The stay at the property was wonderful. If I had to make one recommendation, it would be to set up all the televisions within the house to have at least 1 working streaming app (Netflix, Paramount etc.). The outdoor hot tub & Sauna in the winter was perfect. The various horses was a nice touch. There were so many games and activities to pick from right within the property. The atmosphere was clearly intended for a large family.family which we loved.

Absolutely Amazing

Best vacation ever. The property is beautiful and gas everything you can wish for. The Owner (David and Barbara) are super nice and welcoming and we got to spend a lot of joyfull time with their horses. Sandbridge beach is about 5 minutes drive and there is also a wild life refuge park 10 minutes away. The neighborhood also have cute locally owned stores and restaurants and it's beautiful, clean, quiet and non-commeecialized. Perfect for families, we loved every moment and can't wait to come back.

Wonderful home!!!

Great, big home. Pleanty of room for all the family. The home is very conveniently located. It was minutes to grocery, beach, restaurants. We took a hike at a national forest. What I enjoyed the most was playing pool and having an outside fire with the grandkids. Plenty of activities for the family. I am definitely planning on returning!

70th Birthday

Our family got together to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday. The house was perfect! It was big enough that we weren't tripping over each other (6 adults, 3 teens, a 6 year old and 3 dogs) but cozy enough to be enjoyable. The grandchildren loved feeding the horses! All in all, a great trip!

David was extremely accommodating during our stay. We had an issue with the washer and he was there in no time at all to resolve the issue... The pictures do not do this house justice... It had everything we needed and more. Beach is only a short drive away. Only thing I didn't like was that we didn't book longer.

Perfect Experience…Almost

The Perfect: Property owner was very friendly and available. House was clean with plenty of space, supplies, and fun games. Beds were VERY comfortable, and being a coffee enthusiast, there were plenty of preparation options. My family of 7 and 1 dog loved having access to horse viewing in both front and back of property (cool mini horse that’s fat and rolls around on the ground). The house was warm, and plenty of hot water for everyone. 3.2 miles from the beach, and 3 minutes from restaurants, grocery stores, and 15 minutes to the board walk, which was extremely convenient. Family members ages 22-83, dog age 9, all approved and had a great time. The Bad: VRBO charges ridiculous fees on top of the rental cost, and taxes are insane. I understand the politics of it (padding hotel lobbyists pockets), but it takes half the money the owner could receive. Honestly, I would’ve gladly paid the owner more if it meant less taxes and fees. That’s simply not fair to the owner. Conclusion: 6 Stars for the property 1 Star for VRBO 1 Star for Virginia Taxes

It is well located its close to beach, stores and restaurants yet feels secluded and relaxing with all the privacy you need. Home is spacious with enough room for everyone to be comfortable. Horses are beautiful!! I would highly recommend this property. Thanks for another great stay!!

We had a wonderful week staying at this house with our group of friends. The location was perfect — surrounded by beautiful horses and only a 5-minute drive to the ocean. The kids especially loved feeding the horses, and we also enjoyed having a fishing pier just 10 minutes away.Even though we had a couple of days with bad weather, there was never a dull moment. The house was full of great amenities to keep us entertained: a pool table, ping pong table, swimming pool, hot spa, and even a sauna.Overall, it was a fantastic experience. We’d love to come back again to watch the amazing sunrises and enjoy the best doughnuts we’ve ever had!

Wht we had hoped for and more

I never leave reviews but, this house and its hosts were the best me and my family have ever stayed at. They made us feel so welcomed and were immediately there for any issues we had which were minimal. The property was beautiful with horses, pool, hot tub, sauna, games and all kinds of stuff we could use on our stay. My 5 kids ranging for 20yrs old down to 4yrs all had a blast. We did so much while we were in the area and loved every minute of it. Bush gardens, golf, beach, water park, bowling, go karts, great restaurants, and so much more. Its close to any stores you need which was super convenient. We would stay here again in a heart beat. Thank you to our hosts for the memories our family was able to make while staying at their beautiful house.

My family and I had a wonderful time at The Seahorse! The house was beautiful and so well equipped- everything was supplied, even beach towels and beach chairs!! The owners were truly great people; we were greeted shortly after we arrived, with open arms and a warm, kind smile from David. He was available for anything we needed and was always helpful and genuine. We’ve never been to Sandbridge and were extremely pleased with our decision to stay at The Seahorse. The horses are amazing too- they were a joy to watch and visit. We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay! The location is perfect- close enough to both the stores and restaurants and also just a short drive to the beach. We highly recommend staying at The Seahorse!!

Amazing stay close to the beach.

This property was perfect for our slower-paced days. It was so nice to lounge around, unwind, and still have plenty to keep everyone entertained—whether it was relaxing or simply watching the horses graze. We especially appreciated having umbrellas and beach toys available, which saved us from spending on items we wouldn’t have used again. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, always checking in with a friendly smile whenever we crossed paths to ensure we had everything we needed. We’ll definitely consider staying here again in the future.

We experienced a wonderful vacation at the Seahorse with our friends and pets. This is a well loved, spacious, light and airy home. The many skylights and 3 zones to adjust the temperature, kept the place comfortable. There was plenty to do with games, pingpong, basketball court and pool table along with a swimming pool, sauna, hot tub, and jacuzzi! There are also tvs in every room. Our host, David, was warm, friendly,and ever ready to answer any questions. We especially enjoyed befriending the horses. Be sure to bring carrots and learn how to feed them.
