We planned an end of summer long weekend trip with a couple family friends, so there were a group of kids 2-6yo and the house was perfect with the kid room on the top floor. All the adults had their own space and bathrooms, and the kitchen, dining, and living space on the top floor were roomy. We enjoyed having a big dining room table and that we could all comfortably dine together. The location is great with private beach access and close to grocery store.
I would recommend this house to anybody but especially families.

Stayed at the Seahorse for my husband's big 6-0 birthday. All of our friends and family came and everyone had a lovely time. The Salty Seahorse is so spacious and comfortable. The pictures on the website really do accurately show the place. The kitchen is fully outfitted and designed for visiting and hanging out in the kitchen. The linens are very nice. Connected my computer to the large screen in the living room with no problem. Host was very responsive and texted me back quickly when I had a question. I would highly recommend this place. We all talked about going back again next year!

You can't find a better location!! Right on the beach. The ocean view is amazing.
The house was super clean and well stocked to get us started. I placed an online order ahead of time which we picked up before we went to the house so we settled in right away.
Bedrooms are perfect size, with extra pillows and blankets if needed.
Kitchen has a large assortment for cooking and plenty of dishes. We enjoyed the nice big dining table so we could all eat together.
We would definitely rent this house again. Owners were great to work with.

When we first walked in (after you walk up the 5 flight of stairs to get in) we immediately noticed the floor was dirty. If you walked barefoot in the house your feet were discolored and had a ton of filth on them. The carpet on the stairs was as stained as it wasn't. 95% of the dishes were dirty with caked on stuff on them. 2 of the showers had hair all in them and slime/sludge on the curtain liner (which cost $1-2 at Big Lots to replace if you don't want to clean). I also killed 2 roaches in the King bedroom.
Additionally the "queen" beds were full size. Our family that stayed in these rooms upstairs all have queens at home and these were noticeably smaller than a queen. Additionally the beds were mostly uncomfortable. The King has half the bed that sinks in like broken springs.
There is also no linen service included but is included in the "Cleaning fee" Which is laughable because this was the most dirty rental I have ever stayed in. The towels that were provided looked incredibly old and very used. Some had major stains. They also all smelled SO Bad. We tried washing them and adding fabric softener, but they still stink. These all need to be replaced. Again, you can get cheap decent towels from target for $3. There also weren't enough towels. Providing 1 towel max per person, is never enough for a 4 day stay or even in general.
Then there was the toilet paper situation. Not one bathroom had an extra roll in it and all the rolls that were on the holder were 1/4 - 1/2 full. We had to go buy some and probably left more toilet paper there than we got. Other supply issues: a bar area but no cork screw, only about 2 rolls of paper towels, and only 2 extra trash bags.
The elevator is tiny and half our party wouldn't fit in there without crouching, let alone with luggage. The elevator also would not go down to the outside first floor (maybe you had to be in it to do that, but again, we couldn't transport any items which is the WHOLE point for us). The elevator would go between the living floors (which again, you have to walk up 5 flights to get to the first living floor).
There are also foundation issues with this house. It would dramatically sway (almost knocked me out of bed one night). While the house is on stilts, if properly done and reinforced, it should not sway.
Positives: Great view, nice patios, open living area.
But that's it, not worth your money if you want clean and appropriately supplied Would never stay here again.

The Salty Seahorse was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! It was even better than the pictures showed! It was incredibly roomy, and the way Kate McCormick has it decorated, truly made us feel like we were in an ocean paradise! My family and I would ABSOLUTELY stay here again! The closeness of the ocean and the BREATHTAKING view from inside was just like Heaven! Check-in process was as easy as could be - and all the information we needed was neatly placed in a binder on the kitchen counter. The boardwalk was within walking distance - and our stay was just FANTASTIC!! Thank you SO MUCH to the McCormick Family for sharing their piece of Heaven with us - we were so honored to be there! We would recommend this place 100%!

We absolutely loved staying here. It wasn't long before my husband was daydreaming about buying the place, ha!! Plenty of space, well stocked kitchen, and right on the beach. Plus walking distance to the boardwalk. You honestly can't beat it.

We had a great time the Salty Seahorse location! The house is beautiful, clean and exactly as pictured online. It has a private walkway directly to the beach which was so convenient for us and our guests to bring down chairs, food and games.
There is an elevator which made it so easy to bring up all of our heavy luggage and groceries.
It is a bit of a walk to dinner, bars and the main touristy stuff but we enjoyed the walks. There is a small convenience store that sold ice just a few houses down which was perfect.
Door dash is a thing but Uber is not! Don’t plan on getting an Uber. I heard the Lyft app is more useful but we didn’t try.
I would suggest bringing your own chairs/umbrellas as the stuff that was at the house was very well used and some of it was broken. Luckily a friend brought a couple extra chairs just in case and they came in handy!
The pool that was listed online was definitely a plus for us when booking this property. We were notified after booking that we wouldn’t have access to it. Not sure what the reason was but for us, just using the beach worked out fine!
Overall, we had a wonderful time and will definitely book again in the future. Highly recommend!!!!

My family & I enjoy visiting Carolina Beach every July. This year we included a few more family members so we needed a larger condo. There was plenty of room in this updated 2-level unit. The views off of the east-facing balconies were breathtaking. The master suite was spacious and away from the hustle and bustle which worked wonderfully for our infant. The elevator was a game changer; made having a 3rd floor unit so much easier! Kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfy. We would definitely book again!!

The place is outstanding in every way, even better in person then the pictures. The layout with open and big gathering spaces is perfect for large groups, massive deck with views and lots of seats, more private secluded rooms on the second floor which is great and the whole house was beautifully decorated. We made some really great memories here!

We had a great time here! The unit was very clean and very spacious. We had 8 adults and 3 children and had more than enough room. Kate was very helpful during the booking process and responded quickly to all of my questions! We had a small issue with the cable in the unit, but Kate was very quick in getting the issue resolved. I would definitely recommend the Salty Seahorse and would book this unit again!!!

Great weekend at a prime location. House was great for large family gathering. Kids room and lots of private bathrooms. Kitchen well stocked. Beautiful views of the ocean. Pool access next door was nice (pool could be a bit cleaner but is part of condo). AC was off when arrived, manager was very quick to respond and help. Easy breaker fix and was cool very quickly. Nice area to walk in morning. Great location for Carolina beach, highly recommend.

Hurricane vacation
Other than experiencing a cat1 hurricane our second night the weather was great. Lost electric that night but was back on 7:30a. so nothing lost. Balcony on 3rd floor is amazing. I was disappointed that original listing said nothing about it being a duplex until we got instructions to park.
