Has pretty much everything you need here, especially quiet. The only drawback is if you need a large tv in the room-it is not large-but the one in the sitting room is fine-(Room #3)-but that is issue I had, not a big one. Very clean, water in shower hot, kitchen has all you need, rooms are comfortable, porch is facing... More

We stayed here 21 years ago and always wanted to get back, finally did! Just as great as I remembered. It's a simple, basic cottage, on the small side but well equipped. Everything you need for and enjoyable stay. Fully stocked kitchen, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, wagon to put it in, bicycles....very thoughtful. Quiet and peaceful. Love the back... More

My husband and I enjoyed staying at Seahorse Cottages for the peaceful, quiet location. It was also a very short walk to both the bay side and the ocean. The cottage was spotless. They had complimentary bikes on site too, which we enjoyed using. I would like to say something regarding another reviewer's comment about the size of the pool.... More

These cottages are a real gem. Situated on the east end of the island, they are easily accessible from the causeway, and have the advantage of being on the less busy end of the island. The room was clean and comfortable, and quiet. The kitchen was adequately equipped. We will stay there again.

Sanibel is so different from the mainland and we found staying in Seahorse Cottages was an ideal way of seeing the island. We had the 2 bed cottage which is a good size - larger than we'd expected - and it had everything we needed - easy access to the beach, bikes to get around the local area, barbecue, pool... More

Seahorse cottages are just a short walk from the beach -- and when we were there in December it was 80 degrees and sunny every day! The 1 bedroom cottage has a comfortable living room and cable TV, a good-sized kitchen area and eating area, a bathroom, bedroom with queen sized bed, and a great back porch by the pool.... More

Friends and I stayed at these wonderful cottages in July 2011. All three of us desperately needed a vacation and staying at Sea Horse Cottages made our Sanibel experience perfect! I arrived very late during a Florida thunderstorm and was so happy to see a note on the outside of my door welcoming me to my temporary Sanibel home. We... More

We had a one-bedroom unit complete with kitchen, living room, large screen television and extra TV in the bedroom. The WiFi worked great. Lots of bikes were available for use of guests along with wagons to cart all the beach equipment (also provided by Seahorse) to the shore. I don't think we could have made a better choice for our...

We arrived at our unit and it seemed a little warm in there. So we turned the temp. down and left to go check things out around the island. When we got back it was 80 degrees in the rooms and the fan was blowing, but it wasn't cool air. So we called and called and finally got someone to... More

We stayed over a long weekend at Seahorse Cottages in the deluxe 1 bedroom and had a spectacular time. It's a great little getaway to have peace and quiet and enjoy the beautiful surroundings Sanibel Island has to offer (the beaches, the solitude, the island "feel"). We had friends stay in all of the cottages. This made it feel so... More
