The place was in a great area! Close to the beach and some great local businesses! The parking was not ideal as it is very small. It was frustrating when one unit had more than one vehicle and took more than one spot. They advertise a smart tv but all of the apps were locked up so you couldn’t access your Netflix etc and could only watch cable. Cable was fine for us but don’t advertise a smart tv if it’s locked up and unable to be accessed. Overall a fabulous stay!! We would return!

We booked this for a 3 night weekend getaway and were pleasantly surprised. It was a clean, comfortable room, well decorated. Little breakfast table and kitchrnette. Across the street from the beach. Lots of restaurants closeby and convenient to anything you might need. Pool small but clean. It was perfect for us. Woukd stay there again

Amazing stay

Pros: We spent two nights three days here and let me tell you, it was amazing. The motel is in the perfect location, within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and the fishing pier. Cons: There was only 3 bath towels, and no paper towels. Parking was super super tight for a full sized truck.

Although the room itself was not bad, the parking was horrible. The parking spaces were so tight, even for small cars. And although it’s called “See Sea”, you aren’t seeing the ocean from any of the rooms.

Hangout

We really enjoyed the See Sea. Super quick walk to the beach. As others have said parking is tight, but it’s manageable. Very clean. AC super cold. Loved the beach decor of Hangout 5. Pool was clean. The only negative thing I could even say is that there’s one of those instant coffee things, they even included a few pods, but no mugs or cups to brew into. For a place to crash at the beach the price is unbeatable. Would definitely visit again.

Loved the place! It was super clean aside from a dead flu, spider etc. but that just means any spraying done is working lol. Also, great location! My biggest issue was my discovering the wall controls had nothing to do with the air. Idk if there’s a disconnect or a hustle but once I figured it out we had no trouble keeping cool. Would def stay here again! It was super cute.

It is a nice, small, motel near the beach and walkable to several dining locations, public beach access, shopping, etc along Virginia Dare Trl. No major complaints, considering the price point it was excellent, No on site manager so if that bothers you be warned, they send you a portal login with details on how to open the door with a code and we had no issues. The parking lot is very narrow which wasnt a big deal early in the week when i think we were the only guests, but as it filled up it became a little more difficult to navigate and we were in a compact sedan, do not recommend for guests in larger SUVs or trucks. Otherwise fit our needs, cute and beachy, didnt break the bank.

The hotel is very difficult to reach. Our shower did not drain. I know it’s tough at the beach with sand but had housekeeping cleaned the shower, they should have made an effort to unclog the shower. If you like showering in water deeper than your ankles with no ability to contact staff, this hotel is perfect! It’s a shame too because this location is great, check in was smooth and the room was cute. I just really want a shower that I can use on my vacation especially one at the beach.

You get what you pay for! It looked too good to be true and it was. The pros: one block away from the beach. The pool area was very nice. The cons: parking was ridiculously tight. When we opened the door we were greeted with the most musty/moldy smell I have ever smelled. It made me nauseous. Now I know when a place is close to water it can have a moisture problem and this place does big time! We only stayed 2 nights and when we got home the musty smell permeated everything. There was black mold on the shower curtain. The room is small - I mean SMALL!
