My wife and I are a senior couple who live in the northeast and take one vacation a year in February to escape the the winter cold that ravages our arthritis. We love the warmth of Florida's sunshine and were so looking forward to spending several hours a day on a lonely stretch of beach listening to nothing louder than the cry of a seagull. Unfortunately, the weather and Seahorse bungalows would come up short. Nobody's fault, but we had several cloudy, cool and windy days that kept us wrapped up in towels and sweatshirts or sitting on the porch at the bungalow. The inside of the bungalow was pretty much as pictured in the ads, but you've heard of the saying “lipstick on a pig”. It fits this place. We had an extended stay so no daily cleaning. The first day we had to spend going into town and picking up cleaning supplies to wash windows and floors. The next day my wife tried to fill the dish detergent dispenser only to have the liquid spill out into the cabinet below. That's when she discovered our uninvited guest-mister roach. It took all of my powers of persuasion to convince her to come back inside and not cancel our stay. It's not easy to find a new location at the height of high season in Florida. Our disappointments continued when we tried to use some of the other amenities like our front porch, “garden” furniture and grill. The porches are all rotted and peeling, the bistro tables are covered with rust, the plastic Adirondack chairs are split and cracked, the netting on the hammock was torn as be be unusable, the grill had to be thoroughly cleaned before it could be used. Last, but not least, piles of construction debris are all around the property along with a dumpster and two huge storage trailers. Our last hope to have positive memories of our February 2025 vacation was that good customer service would make up for the short comings. I had several conversations with General Manager, Patricia Attridge before our arrival and she was polite and accomodating. She assured me that despite some minor renovations, I would not hear the noise nor notice the construction in any other way. She said she would be there from 8 to 4 everyday to insure our needs were met. You guessed it. Never saw her or anyone else other than the housekeeping person. Unless you have really low standards, I would avoid Seahorse Bungalows at any price. Check out the pictures-they don't lie!
