I really enjoyed visiting two summers ago but this fall, the property appeared abandoned. There was one guy with a truck who may have been watching over the property, but I wasn’t sure. My third night, I looked up and saw a guy with a gray sweater and blond hair watching me from the second floor of the building next door. There was a disturbance, a loud sound of hammering or repairs in one of the rooms a couple doors down at 1am. I called the emergency number saying I wasn’t sure that it was an emergency but that the noise disturbed me, No one called back. I won’t visit in the fall again, but would be willing to try again in the summer. The property managers were helpful on the phone when I had questions about the coded door lock.

We just stayed at See Sea October 18th-20th 2024 for a last minute quick trip from Elizabeth city. Great price, we thought it was too good to be true. Wrong!! We had a wonderful stay. The room was very clean, plenty of parking and right across the street from a public beach access site. 2 minute walk to some shops and Target is only a couple of minutes down the road. We didn’t have any issues and I believe it was just us and 2 other families there so it was quiet. The appliances all worked. Tv was great. We loved the outside grill access and picnic tables. We will definitely be staying here again in the future. It didn’t feel like a motel, and we feel like it was way better than any hotel on the strip.

It was great the only thing I’d say is there were bugs here and there (gnats mostly) and the room felt kind of sticky due to the way the air conditioning is and the proximity to the ocean.

It was a quaint motel close to the beach, shopping, and dining. The price was right. The room decor and the room itself was very nice. Don't overlook this motel!
