The staff were so kind and informative about the area! We felt so welcomed and comfortable throughout our stay, the rooms were very clean and it was close to several restaurants.
We loved the cleanliness of the room and location of the Sea Vista Motel. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and access to the beach. The Sea Vista Motel had a friendly and helpful staff, which made our stay so much better.
We had a nice stay for 3 nights. Our room had a well equipped kitchenette, a very small refrigerator/freezer but useful. We didn’t use the TV but was updated. King size bed clean bedding. It’s an old motel that is well maintained and comfortable. Bring snacks and drinks as there aren’t any on property. Great beach and beautiful location! No frills but makes for a wonderful getaway!!

Excellent room with great ocean view. Very comfortable mini efficiency was well appointed kitchen items.
Beach view was beautiful from the balcony. Check in was nice. Wasn't expecting a hot plate in the room so that was a nice surprise .Very happy with our stay Will be going again
Exactly what we expected from a place called the "Sea Vista Motel". The room was clean and well maintained and the folks in the office were friendly and helpful. The best part was that it is right on the beach. It is located on the quieter end of the island and there is not a lot of food options so plan accordingly.
This vintage motel met all our expectations. Our room was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. And the ocean view spectacular. Booked another stay. Thank you team Jonathan!
Everything about our stay was perfect! I took 3 teen girls for a weekend trip and we had a great time! Plenty of room for everyone to get ready at the same time, huge patio right on the beach, and far enough away from the “downtown” area that the beach is not crowded at all! We will definitely be back :)
