we have spent many weeks over the years at seahorse cottages. they are clean, well equipped housekeeping cottages. the one bedrooms are a bit small, but there are so many outdoor places to sit, and beaches to walk, it never seems to be an issue. the pool is tiny but it is really just to cool off, or sit nearby...

Looking for a place to kick back, have the comfort of home and none of the work?? Seahorse Cottages is the place. Most places were charging for the use of bikes but not here, they were provided free of charge. What a perfect place to get together with 2 other women and renew a friendship that had been dormant for... More

Travelling alone it's sometimes hard to find the perfect spot, but Seahorse was the perfect fit for me. I spent a week at the property and felt completely safe and secure. The owners are great hosts and the use of bikes and other amenities was perfect for me. This part of the island is quiet and peaceful and the walk... More

we stayed in #1 the only two bedroom cottage and it was very nice. We used the bikes, shelling tools and the walk to the beach was nothing!

We recently stayed in Cottage 1A, the smallest unit of the attached four cottages. There are many things to like about Seahorse Cottages: bikes, helmets, beach chairs and umbrellas and a wagon to carry them to the beach, grills and laundry facilities are all provided for the guests free of extra charges. The pool is very small and not really... More

What a charming place in the peaceful end of the island. We had the one bedroom place. There are 4 total rooms, though small. There is a small patio porch overlooking the pool area with palms and shade in the afternoon. Perfect for reading a novel later in the day while unwinding. I found the walk to the beach to... More

Thanks to other reviewers on Trip Advisor, we found Seahorse Cottages. What a perfect choice for us! We rented a one bedroom for nine nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Although the kitchen wasn't the easiest to cook in, due to the tiny stove (that took forever for water to boil for our pasta), it was just fine for what... More
