Friend and I stayed here last week. Just two old ladies enjoying a trip to the ocean while we still can. Kristie and all the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and appreciated! The room was clean, the grounds were well kept, and the swings, and umbrellas were a added treat. They were very friendly to our two small dogs as well. They may not have all the bells and whistles of some places, but if you want a nice place with great ocean front view and you are willing to show a little consideration yourself, you will find this to be a place to really relax and enjoy, and a staff that will make you feel welcome! Thank you for helping us to have a really nice time, with wonderful memories to cherish. Nina

We had a wonderful trip enjoying the beach. The owners were attentive to our needs and made sure we had everything for a pleasant visit. The beach access is very close and just a quick walk. We plan on staying again.

Seahawk Inn was the best place for us and the dogs. The staff is so nice and accommodating to everyone. Best pet friendly place and right on the beach. Rooms are a little outdated but I don’t need fancy I just need a place for my pets and be near the beach . We will definitely be back to stay here. Tasha is one of the best people I’ve ever met. She makes you want to come back. She has the best customer service skills. Taylor was really good to us at check in. Kim was very nice. The housekeepers were awesome didn’t need them to do our room but I swapped towels trash and all with them most every morning. They even come and ask me if I needed anything.

Iconic beachfront motel reminiscent of a bygone era. Refreshingly low-tech, exceptionally friendly staff, and the favorite of dogs everywhere.

Great little motel ON the beach. The location is fantastic. The outside activities more than make up for the somewhat dated rooms. This motel is close to town for walking and restaurants. The staff are very friendly and ready to help you with your needs. We will return
