Seahorse Inn and Cottages
I appreciated the new bedding. Shower surround looked new but the bottom needs replacing or at least repairing. The coffee pot still had a used pod in it. Excellent location & price. Stayed here before & will stay again.

John Yancey Oceanfront Inn
The John Yancy was a great location, near all the food and Jennette's Pier. Hey had my room ready a little early as I requested.

Mariner Inn and Suites
Overall this place is great, maintenance was going on on the outside of building. Door jams need work. Doors didn’t close good. But loved the no key or card key entry. (Touch pad code). And quiet and peaceful.
