★★★★★ 5.0 Rich Arkey · Sep 2025

The Swell Motel is truly a gem! The rooms are spotless, well-kept, and the beds are extremely comfortable, making for a great night’s rest. While it’s a wonderful spot for anyone looking to stay at the beach, it’s absolutely perfect for fishermen. You can back right up to your door for easy unloading, and they’ve thought of everything—plenty of ice, a fish cleaning station, and even air for filling back up. We’ve stayed here four times this year already and plan to come back a couple more times before the season ends. After trying other places in the area, the Swell Motel has become our go-to spot. Highly recommend!

Positive: When you pull in we were questioning our choice but when we got in the room it was perfect. Super clean. Employees are honest. We will definitely stay there again. Negative: ""

The swell motel has thought of everything. Our room was clean with new furnishings. We had a kitchen with a stove, oven microwave and fridge with freezer large enough to hold a weeks worth of food. Our room was quiet and comfortable. Outside was a hose to wash off the sand, and they have a first rate fish cleaning area. They also have bikes and kayaks available for use. I highly recommend the Swell Motel.

The Swell is such a clean and updated Motel. The rooms are always clean and roomy. Fresh bedding and nice walk in showers. |The outdoors has seating area and also outside dining and a large grill for guest to use

★★★★★ 5.0 Maximus DeVito · Dec 2025

Great rooms for the price. The location if you’re a surfer fisherman or into windsurfing/kitesurfing is unbeatable for the money. This is not the motel six corporate. This is a family owned business and treat it , and everyone there like family.
