Super cute motel! Rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. Could use an upgrade on the sheets. The pool was great! Within walking distance to restaurants and bars. I would stay here again!

Spent one night at this nice little retro motel near the beach for Valentine’s Day. The staff was amazingly friendly, the rooms were very clean and spacious with nice kitchen area. Large screen TV was one block from the beach and nearby. Many eating options. Good value for the money.

Room was spotless! Staff exceptional. Only concern is the bed was not that comfortable
Lovely stay at this retro mid-century motel. Very clean and exactly as depicted in the photos online. No frills, but really nice place to stay. Kitchen was a plus wonderful comfortable bed. Very short, walk to a beautiful and expensive beach. Numerous restaurants in walking distance. Safe location with exterior cameras as a plus. We would definitely stay here again if visiting the area.
Our room was very clean and nicely appointed. The pool area is beautiful and you can see how much work they have done to get this resort fixed and cleaned up after the hurricanes last year. Most everything is new!
Exceptionally clean.
Great check in experience.
Will definitely return!

I love this place! It's got a cool retro vibe, it's right across the street from the beach surrounded by plenty of things to do and food to eat. The staff are wonderful. Everybody is always going out of their way to help and do what they can. They are on call at all times. I really love this place. It's just so good.
Staff was courteous. Room was very good. I liked the location.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room had a charming retro appeal and was very clean. The shower, while small, had great water pressure. We enjoyed the heated pool which was an added bonus in January. Also the Sea Jay is a short walk to Waffle House and Dunkin with other bars and restaurant just a short stroll up or down Gulf Blvd.
