Travel Insurance Recommended

⚠️ Hurricane Season Advisory: We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that covers "trip interruption." Hurricane Season in NC runs June 1 – November 30, with the most activity in September and October. The NC Vacation Rental Act states refunds are not due to renters for interrupted stays due to natural disasters if guests opted out of travel insurance.

What Our Guests Say

"I have rented a number of units in this property and this, by far, exceeds all the other properties. It is an updated, clean, and well-designed property. The owners have taken great care to furnish the unit with higher end furniture including the beds."
"We have stayed at the Surf Condos for nearly a decade, this was our first time at the Seahorse and it was by far the BEST!!! The attention to detail was outstanding, having extra hooks for wet bathing suits and a rope on the deck made such a difference!"
"The kitchen is equipped with anything you could possibly need and the condo is in excellent condition. The hosts even provide beach chairs, boogie boards, and fun sand toys."
