Fodor's Expert Review Sea Horse Oceanfront Inn

This coral-and-blue, 1950s throwback caters to budget-minded guests seeking an ultracasual, laid-back oceanfront experience. The vibe may be retro, but the technology is up to date, with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, small refrigerators, microwaves, and coffeemakers. All the rooms face the ocean and have private balconies or patios from which to watch the sun (or the moon) rise over the Atlantic. The kidney-shaped pool and lounge chairs are pretty standard issue but offer a refreshing respite from the hot Florida sun or the salty ocean. The Lemon Bar is a hot spot for locals and hotel guests, especially on weekends.
