I stayed in this Motel with my two sisters for our annual "sisters' get-a-way". It was a very nice "no frills" motel. We had a balcony facing the ocean with a great view! Very quiet & private with easy access to the beach. The staff was very friendly & accomodating. We choose not to have our room cleaned since we... More

My family stayed here for the first time back in September. The oceanfront room was nice, but you need to stay on the second floor or higher to see the ocean. Great sunrise the first morning. Rooms were ok, not a 4 star but fine enough. The beds were clean and confortable. Wall AC unit worked well, but a little... More

Arrived late Friday evening after driving through or creeping through Raleigh traffic on I40 on a typical 3 day weekend. Pretty much hit the sack upon arrival after the four hour drive plus the traffic and wanted to get... More

Booked here based on the ratings from Trip Advisor and the price. The hotel is nice, aged a little, but clean. I have had rooms at large expensive chain hotels that were dirty, this was spotlessly clean. Our beds were comfortable and the room a standard sized hotel room. Great beach access...private walkway. We changed rooms to an ocean front... More

My mother took us here for a night for a quick visit. The hotel is decorated in a very old fashioned way, but the rooms are very clean and are very big. They also have great oceanfront patios off some of the rooms. Our room had a complete kitchen. The hotel is right on the beach which is great. There... More

We enjoy comi.coming to the Sea Ranch for our yearly reunion. The location is convenient.for travelers and large enough for the entire family. Don't bother bringing your computer though because the wifi is non-existent.

Stayed here for the first time this past weekend with my family. Great place. Clean! Awesome location to everything. 2 great pools my children loved that! Easy beach access with boardwalk. Affordable for the location. Office staff was very helpful. Great location for meals and fun activities as well. We would definitely stay here again!
