Seahorse Inn & Cottages

Cottage-style lodging on Nags Head's Beach Road, an easy walk from the sand

(357)
Nags Head, NC

About

Seahorse Inn & Cottages sits on South Virginia Dare Trail — Nags Head's Beach Road, the oceanfront route that runs parallel to the Croatan Highway strip a block or two inland. That puts the property on the quieter, ocean side of town, within reach of the beach on foot and a short drive from the restaurants, shops, and attractions along the main highway corridor.

The inn-and-cottages layout is a familiar Outer Banks arrangement — separate cottage units instead of a single hotel block, built for groups and multi-generation trips who want their own space without giving up proximity to the water. It's a straightforward option for travelers looking to build a Nags Head beach week around it, with Jockey's Ridge State Park, the town's fishing piers, and the rest of the northern Outer Banks — Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk — just a short drive north.

Reach out directly by phone or through the property's website for unit details, availability, and rates, particularly if you're booking around a peak summer week or trying to catch the quieter shoulder season in spring or fall.

First time to OBX, and booked a room here at Seahorse Inn. Arrive and checkin was a breeze. I love that you dont get a key to carry around, the room is a code you are given at check in. With my family of 4, it was so nice not having to keep track of the key and pass it person to person. Loved this feature. The room was clean, beds were comfy, extra blankets, shower was clean, and they even have shampoo and soap dispenser in shower for you. Loved the mini fridge, looked like a 50s themed fridge. Location was perfect, right across from the pier, easy access to the beach and a outdoor shower to rinse off when your done. Access to clean towels and a bin to throw dirty ones in, so your not piling them up or sitting them outside your room. Price was fair, and room was definitely worth what was paid. I will definitely be staying here again!

Last minute booking on a road trip and got what we paid for. We arrived after midnight and just needed somewhere to sleep and I am happy we were only here for on night. The parking is limited with a very narrow lot, the building is dated and creaky and you can hear every sound on the property. There was a balcony right outside our room where people were smoking and drinking and loud and the we could smell the smoke inside. The rooms were clean enough but the toilet was broken and would not flush and it was so late that there was no front desk attendant to contact. Needless to say, we used this spot for a nights sleep and did not linger once we woke up. As long as you go in with the understanding that this is a budget spot and nothing else, you will be fine. We were travelling with our young children and did not find this a suitable accommodation for them.

We had the best time. The manager on duty/front desk had such a good attitude and was very funny. He deserves recognition. The location is perfect with beach right across the street and a restaurant right beside the hotel. 10/10

Located across the street from the beach. The room was a bit small and dated, but clean and comfortable. Communication was sent electronically so there was no check in and rooms are accessed by a pass code, which I found convenient. The parking area was small but there seemed to be enough parking spaces.
