4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

Great location. The room was clean and comfortable. Our first floor back door was directly on the dune with the beach beyond. The Adirondack chairs were awesome. Our room key would not fit the back door - so we had to lock the doors and then walk around to the beach access if we were leaving the room for any... More

Stayed for the 1st time in November '11 and honestly, it was like coming home. Have stayed at some of the newer places, but I seriously doubt I'll ever stay anywhere else. It reminded me of going to the beach as a kid. The Sea Foam is on the Nat'l Register is Historical places and therefore is older. I like... More

Went for OBX bike week and will make it my OBX home! Great location, clean room and ample parking. Right on the beach and a beautiful pool. Don't expect luxury hotel accommodations as this motel is a National Landmark, so the decor shows its age. Don't pass this location up! More

What a pleasant surprise to open the door to our room on the second floor of the Sea foam and be greeted by an immacuately clean and comfortable room with a fantastic view of the ocean. The character of this National Landmark is something you do not find in a modern motel. The room was spotless and the bathrooms were... More

We just stayed at the Sea Foam for a spur of the moment girls trip. We were pleasantly surprised that for such an old looking motel the views were spectacular, the room was clean, and the staff was so pleasant and helpful. Tommy at the front desk was great we had to call because our fridge was not working and... More

The Sea Foam is our traditional Friday night stay before we take posession of our weekly rental. We love the fact that the Sea foam is a National Historic Landmark and sits in the heart of Nags Head. My sister loves the quaint rooms that take her back to her childhood. The rooms are always clean and the staff is... More

This is the old fashioned style that most people miss out on. The way things used to be. Very retro and quirky. The Sea Foam is in a great location and the beach is wonderful. The staff is very nice and accomodating. Good folks. Will definitely return. More

I have stayed at the Seafoam twice now, and both times I enjoyed it completely. Yes, it's a little worn down, but the fact remains that it's very inexpensive (esp compared to the Big Shiny Namebrand Hotel right down the road) and incredibly well-located. Not only does the motel have a good stretch of beach all to itself, but it's... More

My family has been staying at the Sea Foam for about 12 years now. We go every June as a family and my husband and I go back several times during the summer and fall. No, it's not elaborate and it is dated, but we don't go to the beach for glitz and glamor. We go to relax and the... More
