It's been 10 years since I've been to this place. It's still the same and I always enjoy how close it is to the beach and the pricing is perfect.
Thanks again

While it's not a fancy place, it is a nice spot for what we needed. It was easy access to the beach and allowed for us to go back and forth to our room with our child who has medical needs. We would stay here again for the convenience.

The guys that run it are super nice. The rooms are old and not the cleanest but it worked for us. The location was convenient and right on the beach.

The Sea Shell Inn is an older motel that is right on the beach. The hotel itself is a bit dated but the rooms are secure, clean and functional, the linens are fresh and the beds are comfy! What else do you need?
The young man at the front desk was super friendly and helpful and replaced a lost key with a smile!
I will definitely be staying here again!
Thank you from the family in #228!

There was no toilet paper left in 2 of the 3 rooms we booked. We checked in on time but immediately left and didn't realize this until it was midnight.

It exactly as it seems
It was exactly what you think and expect. Budget, no frills but a nice view and chill vibe. What is absolutely inexcusable is no foot shower near the pool area.

Mini affordable vacation
Like the building says, THE BEST SPOT ON THE OCEAN. The nights were peaceful, the room was cold. Its not the newest or cleanest but take a few clorox wipes and call it a day. Worth every penny. Will be back
