Love Seahorse Cottage

We loved Seahorse Cottage and can't wait to come back. Beautiful property in a perfect location. Wide open floor plan. Fenced in yard for the dogs. It was a home away from home and just perfect for us...

Serene Seahorse

If I had to choose one word to describe the Seahorse Cottage, I would choose the word SERENE. It was a quiet place to rest and rejuvenate. Evenings on the back porch added to the relaxing atmosphere.

Beautiful cottage

Lovely place to stay with flowers all around the backyard so when you are sitting on the porch it is so peaceful. The cottage itself was a dream. I wish I could have picked it up and brought it home.

Loving the Seahorse Cottage

This home is gorgeous! The owner has provided everything you could want and more. I have stayed in many VRBOs and this house is absolutely my favorite. The host is prompt with any questions and very accommodating. He let me check in earlier than I was supposed to. I truly recommend this house to everyone. Thank you Steve for a fabulous stay.

It would be really nice to have a raised pathway from the gate to the steps, it rained heavily and made the grass puddly. The garage door coming from the house should have a key pad so you can lock the door after coming in through the garage, without a key you can't lock that door unless you lock it from inside and go around through the yard. There was no grill brush to clean the grate on the grill.
