Room was clean and the staff was very friendly and attentive! Beach was cleaned every morning which was nice. Love how there are enough chairs/tables on the beach for everyone who was staying at the hotel. The complimentary breakfast room was very nice and a great way to start the day.

This was our second time staying at the Sea Shell Motel and once again it did not disappoint. We love the location, the beach and the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of the motel and the staff. The room was clean and comfortable. We did not bring our pets but love that we have the option to do so. We are already looking forward to our vacation here next year.

Clean room, helpful and friendly staff. Steps away from a private beach, perfect location. One thing that would make the experience better is if the hotel offered umbrella rentals for the beach. We were caught without one and I needed to run around to a few stores to find one. Otherwise great experience!

Excellent stay, right on a small private beach. Nice mid-Cape location. Cable TV (no streaming services), good water pressure in shower. Our room had a little kitchenette which was nice. Bed frames were a little rickety. Basic in-room amenities--no hair dryer in room.

The room had paint peeling off the wall. On the last day a dog pooped on the external hallway and it never got cleaned up. The amenities was very basic. It is right on the beach but it is better for families who want to cook their own food
