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.

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 :)

We were fortunate enough to book the Honeymoon Suite. The view is spectacular and well worth the extra stairs. The room is clean and quiet. The only drawback was that there is no electric outlet in the bathroom. My wife is picky about where she stays so her telling me she would stay there again is enough for me!

The beach location is the best part of staying at the Sea Vista. Since it is also dog friendly we brought our dog and he loved the beach. The rooms were adequate, although very dated. The kitchenette was sparsely furnished. The balcony on the third floor had an awesome view of the beach and the sunrise. We would stay there again!
