We stayed at Seafoam Motel in Nags Head, NC for a couple of nights during Christmas, and it was a perfect location right on Route 12 with easy access in both directions. Our second-floor room had a beautiful view of the left side of Jennette’s Pier. Watching the sunrise peak over the pier was absolutely stunning. It’s also a great spot for photography, especially if you want amazing shots without having to step onto the beach. Peaceful stay with a fantastic view—would definitely stay here again.

First let me say The Sea Foam Motel has been in business for 77 years I think. The fact that it has survived some pretty terrible storms is a bit of a miracle. The location is great! Great and easy beach access . Very nice pool. Everyone we came in contact with was extremely nice! We had a second floor side ocean view room with a king. Our room was very clean. Bed was fairly comfortable. Kitchenette had all you would need for quick little meals and snacks. Fridge is very tiny. Now for the less favorite things. Motel in great need of updating. Very old, mismatched furniture. New LVP flooring versus any carpet would be a plus. Walls, doors, trim, etc. need work. Linens were clean but also very worn. Bottom sheet very "pilly" and top sheet torn. Towels thin and tiny. Regulating water temp in

We have just returned from our week stay at the Sea Foam and it was simply a delight. The room was extremely clean, the view was fantastic and the beach access is amazing. This is the place to go for a very relaxing beach vacation. The staff were wonderful and all the people we met were amazing. We will be back!!! If you are looking for a modern elevated place this is not the place for you. BUT if you are looking for a cozy room, wonderful people and amazing beach views/access. This is a must!!!! We will be back!

Sea Foam Motel is an absolute gem and one of those rare places that keeps us coming back year after year. From the moment you arrive, it feels like stepping back in time to the 1960s—in the best possible way. The motel has a wonderfully quaint, nostalgic charm that’s getting harder and harder to find, and it proudly embraces that “back in time” feel while still making thoughtful updates that improve comfort without losing character. Every visit, we notice little improvements, but the heart and soul of the place always remain the same. One of the things we love most is how affordable it is. We never feel like we’re paying an arm and a leg, whether we’re squeezing in a short weekend getaway or settling in for a longer stay. Sea Foam is perfect for both quick escapes and extended weekends. We

Room was very clean and bed was comfortable..view was amazing. Pillows were not adequate and there was no shampoo, nor a hair dryer.. I guess I should have checked but I’ve never stayed anywhere that didn’t provide those items..
