We were a very short walk away from the beach and that is he main reason that we stayed at this location. Everyone loved the room because it was so close to the beach and boardwalk. It was a little noisy hearing kids run in rooms above us but wasn't to bad. We did not like the 18% tax on parking spot and needing to reserve a ADA parking spot but had we not, I could not have made it up the hills around or walked the distance to the room.

8/10 Very good

The location was very close to the water, an easy 5 minute walk. However, parking was very difficult to find, and you have to pay everywhere, it is not included with your room. The room itself was clean and smelled fresh when we arrived, and there were no unpleasant odors even after staying for three days. The shower and bathroom were quite small and a bit outdated, but overall, I don’t have any major complaints about the room. The main downside was the price point, it felt a bit high considering there’s no onsite parking and the rooms are somewhat outdated. There was also construction going on during our stay. It wasn’t disruptive, but it would have been nice to know about it prior to our arrival.

We loved our time at Sea Blue. The location was perfect and the atmosphere made us feel like we were going home each night, not to a hotel room. The bathroom actually had a window! We will never stay anywhere else when we are in the area. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
