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.

Large room, comfortable bed, spotlessly clean. The only entry to upstairs rooms are uncovered metal stairs that became slippery during rain.
