Seahorse Inn and Cottages

10/10 Excellent
"As far as location in OBX for a quick getaway this takes the cake. 2 minute walk to the beach, clean and easily accessible room, in a prime location for a great price... I'll be back for sure. Also pet friendly with no issues is a mandatory amenity for me and the pup was very comfortable with her stay. Highly recommend."
