Seahourse Guesthouse was great. Darren, the owner, was nice and hospitable. Check in and communication was easy. Free parking. Room was clean and bed was very comfortable. Just across the street from the beach. an easy walk. Short distance from the Pompano Pier which has many restaurants and shops . Definitely recommend. read more

Loud and hot AC. Unable to sleep the whole night. Practically no help from the staff. Found a fan in the closet so it must be a common compliant. Would not stay here again. read more

I loved it here! The owner Darren was great. The check in was easy and he was so nice! The room was clean, parking was free ,close places to walk to and close to beach. Pool was also clean . We can't wait to stay again! read more

The owners of this hotel have stolen my 9 year old daughters iPad and headphones. We realized we left them in the room the same day and called. They found the iPad immediately and said we needed to come get them. By this time we were at the airport and I asked if they could send them to New York - at my expense - and was first told that this was not their policy! Finally they agreed to send it but only after their three week vacation which started the next day. Four weeks later - after hearing nothing - I called and wrote and was told verbatim 'Good Morning Marc, ... After researching this with our Property Manager who managed our Motel during our vacation, we were unable to locate your IPod and Headphones. Our Property Manager claims that the Housekeeper took all of the lost and found goods to St. Vincent De Paul Charities while we were on vacation. All of our lost and found items are donated to charity. Unfortunately there is nothing that we can do. Kindest regards, Darren and Phillip' Where is a sense of responsibility? read more

My stay at the Seahorse Guesthouse was just perfect! The property is immaculate and just across the street from the beach, the pool was the perfect temperature and flooded with sunshine, and the room was sparkling clean and decorated with fun Florida decor. I might add that the owners are also very friendly and professional. My stay was only for one night, but i've already made plans to return. I highly recommend the Seahorse Guesthouse! read more

This review sumarises my experience after a 2 month stay at the Seahorse from November to mid-January. This facility was provided as a corporate residence selected by my employer, thus the selection was not of my choosing. Firstly, the proprietors. Darren and Philip live on site and really treated me like family. As I experienced, they go way above and beyond what I have experienced in the past 35 years of my traveling career. They will leave you alone to enjoy your stay, sleep in, or whatever. If I felt talkative or inquisitive, Darren would put down his work in a heartbeat and just chat for hours on end if I wanted. He was engaging, full of information, and would always let me know what was going on locally whether it was a music festival in Lauderdale, the Christmas parade on the causeway, construction on the roads, tips on good places to eat, hang out, etc. The property grounds are immaculately maintained, and the pool area, right on A1A, are designed like a tropical oasis with a small pool surrounded by queen anne palm trees and make a great retreat day or night. In the afternoons and weekends, there is tasteful music playing on the outdoor speakers which sets a nice relaxing atmosphere. I also enjoyed meeting neighbors staying here and were all very friendly. The building itself was built in the early 50s and the two rooms I had (#4, #3) are mirror images of each other, had king size beds, kitchenette and ensuite bathroom with shower. The structure is cast cement which presents two situations. Firstly, it was again a 50's design, so the bathroom is small and a bit awkward, but as it is cast cement, it is obviously not an easy thing to modify and expand the bathroom. Thus the toilet vs sink is a bit tight fit. The shower is roomy. Hot water is seemingly unlimited and quite hot. The décor in the rooms is tastefully done, and the upgrades such as countertops, glass tile backsplash, flooring (wood/ ceramic tiles) are modern, yet complimentary to the period of the construction. The rooms have window units with remote control, which take me back to my childhood at my grandparents as they purr you to sleep and keep the well-insulated rooms as cool as you want! The kitchenette has a refrigerator, freezer, oven and stove, microwave and coffee maker with coffee and creamer/sugar provided, toaster and even salt and pepper. Dishes, pots and pans, knives, forks, butcher knives, cooking utensils, mixing bowls, cutting boards, etc. are also provided! Returning to the cast cement aspect, there is no drywall at all, and the room is very quiet. You do not hear the neighbor's tv or anything at all from your neighbors. This was an added bonus as my work days are from before dawn till after sunset. One will only hear the occasional noisy car or ambulance going down the street. The neighborhood is very safe and quiet, and going for a walk in the evenings is a welcome bonus. It takes maybe 5 minutes to walk to the beach and the Atlantic ocean which is not only quite convenient, but still less than say 100 yards to the water, so you can even smell and taste the salt water right from your doorway. There are dining/bar options as close as a 7-10 min walk north, but the main area is at A1A and Atlantic which is only a 20 minute walk - about 1 mile. Outside of the door is a great covered walkway with chairs and small end table perfect for sitting, reading or enjoying a cool beverage. It is really reminiscent of a nice old New Orleans garden courtyard. The neighboring family owned property 100' away also has a small convenience store which makes getting the essential snacks very easy. Think of a small 7-11. There is also grocery delivery available through Publix online. Were there negatives? Yes. One weekend there was a family with out of control elementary school kids that ran roughshod screaming in demonic yells around the pool at early hours, but that was short lived, and not something that the owners could really control. The bed in #4 was a bit too soft for me, but #3 was perfect. I would perhaps like a more comfortable sitting chair in the unit, and maybe a nice small side table by the chair for a cup or to set your phone on whilst watching TV. Speaking of TV, it was about a 35"flat screen, with DIRECTV included. WiFi was very good (and free!!!) and a speed test gives me a 8ms ping, 30mbps download and 7.5 upload. No problems streaming Netflix or prime! Again, I look forward to returning, and would not hesitate to bring my teen daughter here, and not worry with leaving her alone while I worked at the airport. It's just that good and more like you are staying at someone's house vs a motel/hotel. read more

I just booked our 4th stay. If you must stay in a brand new hotel, this is not the place for you. The Seahorse was built in the early 60's and has been nicely refurbished. Each of the 9 rooms has a different theme, they are all roomy and each of them has a coffeemaker. The only negative I have to say is I wish the beds were updated (my husband would disagree but I have fibromyalgia). Thankfully the a/c blows really cold so it helps me sleep pretty soundly. Darren and Phil are the owners and always make their guests feel welcome. The pool is right in the middle of the courtyard and is perfect. And the beach is right across the street. We won't stay anywhere else when we are in town. read more

Great place to stay. It is a small motel that is run with pride and a personal touch. Darren is great and helpful. The rooms are clean and nicely appointed. the pool is clean and i believe there is a BBQ available. As far as the beach, it is just across the road with easy access. I have stayed here several times and as a Airline pilot that lives in hotels around the world, it is nice to find a quaint motel with character. Kyle read more

We had to wait three hours to check in when we arrived at the property. That's even after I had called several times to confirm our early check in. I guess one of the amenities at this Motel was pot smoking. My guest was asked if we smoke pot, and Phillip was told that we don't smoke pot. I have traveled around the country and have stayed at many places. Never asked that question. May be that is why they have a D rating with the Better Business Bureau.

I loved the Seahorse Motel and would return many times. The rooms were very clean and well decorated the pool area is lovely and the landscaping was beautiful. The beach is right across the road with easy access. The owners were very friendly with great suggestions on where to visit and eat. read more

One of my worst experiences at a hotel I've ever had. After paying through Travelocity in full, the owner tried telling me that i needed to give him another $200 in cash only upon check in or we couldn't stay there. Straight up extortion. I said I don't think so. I filed a complaint with Travelocity. They refunded us in full and they also said they've had several similar complaints on this company. read more

Stayed here back in July...place was very cute, better than I expected once we got inside our room. From the outside it looks like a motel..nothing amazing. Although I will say it looked like they were possibly renovating. Our room was small but comfortable. Door was not very secure, looked as if it had been banged open before...a little sketchy. Owners seemed nice when my husband spoke with them during our stay. We asked if we could get a late checkout and were told no which sucked since we were going to the beach..we just wanted to come back and rinse off before leaving. Pool was fine. I am giving 1 star mainly because of this...a couple weeks after our stay my husband's credit card was charged again for another nights stay. He called and they apologized and said it was another person that stayed with the same name....this seemed like a strange excuse, he asked them Not to keep his card on file..they apologized and said they shouldnt have kept it and wont keep it now. Then, 3 months later in October, he just got another charge from the motel for another night stay!!! So they obviously did NOT get rid of our info. We had to cancel the card and have had to go through a lot of nonsense. Along the way we have been told it is illegal for them to keep our CC info on file and keep charging it! We will NOT be staying here again or recommending them. Honestly looking into pressing charges. read more

Cockroach and mosquitos in room. Super loud supposed air conditioning. Proud, mean, nasty owner, check in 5 to 6pm only.... check out 10am.... !!!! No room service... And yelled at me when i hastily closed door to answer phone since ac too loud to hear anything!!!!!! Horrific and expensive!!!!! 135 for Small room and sofa bed that breaks your back! Better to sleep in car if you are that desperate!!! Beach nearby has no restrooms. Plus they don't give wifi code if you dont ask! Second time and Never ever ever ever again!!!!! Sleep further and cheaper and go to nice beach! read more

We loved staying here for our vacation. Great location right across from the beach and the owners could not have been more friendly. We were flying in late Friday night and they made sure we knew how to check in since it wasnt during their normal check in hours. Rooms were very cute, bed was comfortable. We will absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Ft Lauderdale. read more

Booked my December vacation in the Seahorse. but when my plans changed the 1st thing they did was to charge my credit card. It wasn't enough that they already had 1 night's deposit, they took half the total for the week and we hadn't even cancelled it yet. Couldn't get them on the phone to change the dates, and then found out they had already taken the money. Cowardly Thieves, do yourself and favor and stay in a reputable motel. read more

If you're looking to slip away for a weekend retreat or a nice, long vacation, this is the place to do it! Each room is absolutely adorable with a character all its own... We've stayed here four times and LOVE it! If you want to sit back and relax around a GORGEOUS pool (secluded from the street with an array of beautiful palm trees and carefully tended shrubbery) or if you prefer to sit with your toes in the sand while enjoying a vibrant sunrise (literally a super short walk across the street), then reserve yourself a little slice of heaven in Pompano Beach... The rooms are cozy, comfortable, and CLEAN (we've never, ever stayed in a hotel or motel that keeps it this clean!)... The owners actually care about your stay... They are quick to offer awesome suggestions for local eateries and entertainment, they check in to make sure you have anything and everything you need (and they remember requests you've made from previous visits, like having extra towels or a spare pillow waiting in the room), and they provide GREAT amenities like access to their grill, beach chairs, and laundry facilities! We highly recommend the Seahorse... You simply won't be disappointed! :) read more

What a mess this Motel is! I booked through booking.com and had to cancel, unfortunately after the cut off time for a refund. So understandably I was at risk of losing total cost. My fault not the motel'. But wait, there's more. Booking.com has a function to ask for an exception to the policy which I asked for and they in turn contacted the motel weeks ago. Motel never responded to them initially telling me they never got the email then telling them they "don't have to" (which I suppose is accurate but...wow). The agent was frustrated by their lack of response and lack of common courtesy, now on their record. So I called the hotel directly and spoke with who cited himself as owner. Amazingly rude and denigrated me. Said when I didn't hear from them I should've reached out. That it's my fault. He had zero customer service attitude. "What did you think would happen" kind of thing. I've never been motivated to take so much time to write anything other than a positive or accurate review here. I have no idea if the property itself is worth the price point. But do the world a favor and avoid this property. In my opinion such poor behavior should not be rewarded. Oh and when I told owner I would be reviewing their hotel he said to go ahead and just watch his response. Again, a mess. Flame wars with customers is such good customer experience so let's see what happens. read more
