    My friend and I were there for 4 days, 3 nights! We loved this hotel! It was clean, comfy beds and amazing staff! The Lemon bar was a real treat! Best wings ever!!! Big screen to watch the USA play soccer and live music on Saturday night. Of course, being right on the beach was perfect. The area is walkable with lots of restaurants to choose from. We never needed the car. I've already told so many people about this great place!!!

    Although the location was excellent, I wouldn’t stay again. The rooms had visible mildew in the showers, which made the smell horrific anytime we needed to use the shower. It just made me question the cleanliness of the rest of the space.

    Room wasn’t very clean, staff at arrival was kind of rude and tried to charge for parking despite the listing saying free parking. My kids were excited for the pool but we got there after dark so I promised in the morning. Staff said pool opened at 8am and we tried to go at 8am sharp, however, the pool was closed for maintenance and wouldn’t be ready until after we checked out. I definitely suggest another hotel in the area.

    First, my greeting was so warm and inviting. The front desk staff explained everything (parking). The parking attendant (I met 2 different guys) went above and beyond to be helpful. The room was huge! (First floor doubles) My patio led to the pool area and only a few steps from the Lemon Bar. I was nervous I would regret this late at night but surprising I couldn’t really hear any noise from the bar. Had a great time and will absolutely stay again!!

    The hotel is in an ideal location and the view was spectacular! However, the room could stand some upgrades. The bathroom was small and smelly. I killed at least 4 gnats in the shower during my 3 day stay. I don't know how many my husband killed 😂 Nonetheless, the location, the pool, the ocean view from the 2nd floor and all the restaurants took my mind off room.

    For my first floor room, I couldn’t see the beach because of the dunes. But you can’t beat the convenient few steps to the beachfront. The hotel was clearly built a long time ago, but, for what it is, they’ve done a good job maintaining it. Very clean. Bring your own pillow if you can. That’s my only complaint!

    Staff were friendly. Location to town and beach. It’s just a motel a run down motel at that. No facilities for food drinks etc. The floor in our room was not cleaned as the bottoms of our feet were black and we always had to brush them off before bed. No sea view as it’s behind the sand dunes. It is vastly overpriced and overrated.

    The location, size of rooms and lower cost is the main reason to stay here. However, the ocean views are limited due to dunes and the high volume noise from the attached Lemon Bar and Pete's bar on the front side until at least 10pm. Rooms are not soundproofed. Otherwise, I would still stay there again.

Loved having the Lemon Bar right there and just a short walk to the beach. Loved the charm of the property and vibe of Neptune... well definitely be back for a longer stay. If i had one wish, it would be that room keys also worked on the sliding doors so that you could exit and lock from the back.

    The room, stay and location were great. It is Expedia that dropped the ball. I paid for the room in advance for I thought was the total price, only to be hit with “destination fee” and daily parking charges. I was hit with over $200 in extra charges upon checking out. Expedia never mentioned a thing about possible other fees. I’ll never use Expedia again.

    The room has a great view. The floors had tape on them holding the floors together, the door had no deadbolt which was a little scary… a key card jammer or someone with key card access can just enter the room. The bed was by far the worst bed ever. So uncomfortable. Please just buy a new bed… $100 Amazon beds are more comfortable and we were charged $30 for parking. I was never told parking would be a charge. I could’ve just parked down the street. My back is terrible today because of the bed..

    This location is excellent, right along g the beach, and among many good restaurants and shops. The beds were comfortable, and bathroom had plenty of room. Very dog friendly, with their own little park and waste disposal area, and outdoor shower, right by entrance to the beach. It was difficult to reach someone at the front desk. Many times I called and no one answered. Also, working the tv was complicated and it seemed I needed to log into one of my own streaming accounts. Tried to call for help, but no answer. The next day they sent a tech, but it was still tricky. Parking is very tight, and would hope for more space if you have to pay $20/day.

    The location is good. That's about it. There was no breakfast. The place is old, and it looks it. The doors to the room lack seals, meaning all manner of critters can enter the room, and they do. The rooms have been updated, but barely. The water pressure is mediocre at best. They don't allow smoking anywhere, which us a bummer for those that like a cigar with their whiskey. The pool towels always seem to be empty as well.

    Room was close to the pool, very nice. Arrived early but staff jumped through hoops to get us in the room - they went above and beyond to help. Gate access to the ocean does not work, why?

Balcony was nice the room heated and cooled very fast compared to some hotels I’ve been to. I also would like to point out it’s in a great location near some amazing shops. Honestly my only dislike like was being charged the $20 for parking after their site advertised it was free and I was charged an additional deposit fee that hasn’t been returned yet.

    Few small bugs in bathroom but clean otherwise. View from second floor was poor although we did manage to see the sun rise through the trees - they need to be trimmed or cut down. Don't know that you can really call any of those rooms oceanfront. Pool appeared to be nice although we didn't use it. Expensive enterprise considering its placement along the beach.

    Right on the beach. Upstairs rooms are very clean and private. Office staff is very friendly and helpful. The big negative for me is that the room had a strong mildew smell. Anytime I was in the room, I had to keep the balcony door open, in order to offset the mildew smell. Air conditioner definitely needs filter changed.

    The property is in a great location. The pool closes at dusk and they will tell you to leave the pool area. The shower is cold and there was mold all around the shower. When I went to check out I asked for a receipt. I was told I booked through Expedia and I would need to get a receipt through them. We bought food at the Lemon bar so I wanted to make sure our charges were correct. I have yet to get a receipt from either party. The Lemon Bar was great. Fabulous service and staff. Also our beds were not made or towels exchanged. For this price stay at a higher end hotel and get the service you pay for. This hotel cost as much as the luxurious hotels around the area and had terrible service. Front desk staff were not friendly or accommodating.

    This property is in a perfect location. Gated access to the beach and walking distance to good food and even a Publix (a quarter mile or so). Our room was clean except for the ever present sand -- we had to dust our feet off before climbing into bed (but that is sort of the rule on the beach in Florida!). The only major drawback was that the age of the property showed in the non-existent counter-top space in the bathroom, the single work table, and the relatively small entertainment center. We were left constantly shifting items around and using the commode lid for counter space in the small bathroom.

    I was sad to have to leave the Seahorse Oceanfront Inn. I will definitely be planning future trips to this site. The room was clean and spacious. The view was spectacular. Proximity to the beach was incredible. There are plenty of places to eat and shop within walking distance. I was able to park right in front of the door to my room plus there is a huge parking lot available. Not only was the motel pet friendly but so were the other guests. Motel guests, some of whom have been staying there year after year, offered to help me get my luggage into my room when they saw me trying to hold my dog's leash in one hand and all my bags in the other! Dogs were allowed on the beach after 5PM and before 9AM during my stay. I even met people on the beach who live at Neptune Beach who invited me to meet them for breakfast the next day. The entire area is an amazing community. There is a bar on the premises and a great pool. My only slightly negative comment is regarding the WiFi. It was spotty and I often got kicked off. That was difficult as this was a work trip for me. That being said, I would still go back and just hot spot my phone or find an area with a stronger signal. This place is a gem.

    Stopped here half way to our Miami Beach trip. Stayed on 2nd floor. No elevators. Oceanfront. Poolside bar(got 2 drinks $10 each) . Pool is nice. May 17.25 they said once a year they do like a pool side party. They set up all kind of beer tents. Portapotties a lot of speakers and they said thousands of ppl come. We’re checking out that day though. Our room was very nice. Bed was comfortable. Water pressure SUCKED 1/10. Doesn’t look that great in pictures. Kinda looks like a motel. But once you get inside you’ll love it! But it was REALLY NICE!!

    1960's motel updated slightly. On the beach and nice beach bar, so that is great. Nice pool, but closes at 9pm. No elevator to 2nd floor. No drinking water available for guests other than bathroom sink, (had to go offsite). Internet service weak (minutes to load websites, if they would load at all). TV had only local stations with no apps for streaming and since internet signal was so poor, you could not use a laptop for streaming. For over $200 a night, I expect better, even ocean front.

    Older Motel that opens to the beach with a swimming pool and a restaurant bar attached. The motel is old but the rooms have been updated and the bed was very comfortable. This is the basics you need at the beach. A room with a balcony (2nd floor has balconies and the 3rd floor with 2 or 3 rooms have them too). The beach's dunes and the beach are very close to the hotel and there is a private exit/entrance to the hotel to the beach. There is a swimming pool with comfortable seating and the hotel provides towels for the pool. It might have been the basics but the restaurants of Neptune Beach and Atlantic Beach are a block away and the Inn has plenty of free parking.

    I was never informed via booking or checking in they had an event that took over the property for that last half I stayed there. The miscommunication and inability to inform their guests of the inconveniences they would cause is unacceptable. When I walk into the property and am surrounded with mounds of stereo equipment blocking the walkway from the beach to my room and pool without any prior notification, that causes red flags. Then when every guest was told the day of event the pool would be open, we wake to find they were lying. And when I tried to get a minute of sun in a chair I was told to leave by the bar next door’s hotel manager who was condescending in her tone and made me feel like she was better than me. How do I affect sitting in a chair for 1 hour when your event doesn’t start until 6 and the event staff told me I was fine and wasnt in their way! The entire situation could have been avoided if there was communication and transparency. I wanted to revisit but the owner has a lack of concern for the guests and the lemon bar manager has no concern for anyone other than herself.

    Location is perfect. Recommend calling for reservations. You do not want rooms 236 thru 238. Room view is limited and should be divulged in the pricing, etc. - small rooms but as advertised there. Bar next door plays music all day til dusk.

    The hotel is clean and the housekeeper was very nice. The pool towels were consistently empty. The gate on the steps to the beach was only open less than a quarter of the way for most of our stay because it was surrounded by sand and wouldn't budge. Most people could not go through it. The front desk is not staffed all the time. I couldn't even get a hold of anyone on the phone to check out. I had to wait until business hours. The worst part was the water pressure. I have pretty short hair and even after a half hour rinsing the shampoo out, it still wasn't all the way out. The TV was the size of a computer screen and the room was so small it was hard to turn around. Very disappointing.

    This hotel is very old so don't expect a shiny new place. They have done their best to keep it up. You can't beat the location - right on the oceanfront and in a great neighborhood full of good dining choices. The parking was free, which was a plus for this busy neighborhood. Service was the limiting factor. No shampoo or body wash in the shower and housekeeping did not refill for days after informing the office. One day housekeeping just dropped off towels, because they were running behind, and didn't service the room.

    POSITIVES: GREAT LOCATION: short walk to beach, next-door to Neptune Beach Town Center - restaurants & shops; WELL CARED FOR -- though an old hotel, seemed freshly painted, hardly anything looked worn, grounds were neatly attended; CUSTOMER SERVICE - agreeable receptionist (literally a prom queen), friendly staff; nice view from 2nd floor room of pool, bar, sand dunes and ocean (not beach); called in one repair (fallen shower rod) and it was repaired quickly; NEGATIVES: Cleaning was a problem. They were late getting our room ready on check-in, then the next day, they didn't get around to cleaning until after 5 and then it was only half cleaned - one of two beds made, wash cloths not replaced, floor not swept; towels and water pressure were meh; did not have separate lights each bed (which would make it convenient if one party wanted to stay up later than the other).

    The front exterior leads you to believe this not a good place. Room was very nice and clean. Each room has view of grassy area, the pool, the ocean and bar area. Very easy access to ocean. Room cleaned daily. Although no restaurant on site many choices in walking distance. We would stay here again.
