The property is in terrible disrepair. The young man in the office was nice & helpful. The stairs were dangerously falling apart. The bed was comfortable & clean for huge most part, except one pillow was questionable. My husband did see a roach in the early morning hours. There was an extremely dirty coffee pot but no cups or coffee. The view was gorgeous at sunrise. Fajitaville next door was a great spot. We would not stay there again.

While it's not a fancy place, it is a nice spot for what we needed. It was easy access to the beach and allowed for us to go back and forth to our room with our child who has medical needs. We would stay here again for the convenience.

The Sea Shell Inn is an older motel that is right on the beach. The hotel itself is a bit dated but the rooms are secure, clean and functional, the linens are fresh and the beds are comfy! What else do you need? The young man at the front desk was super friendly and helpful and replaced a lost key with a smile! I will definitely be staying here again! Thank you from the family in #228!

It exactly as it seems
It was exactly what you think and expect. Budget, no frills but a nice view and chill vibe. What is absolutely inexcusable is no foot shower near the pool area.
