What a delightful surprise! The owners provided home made cookies and a card for our anniversary stay at their motel. The room was immaculate, the accommodations very warm and cozy and the owners were the ideal hosts. We would recommend this motel to anyone who desires a family atmosphere, warm and friendly treatment, and a room that is clean, fresh... more

The owner, Sam, was unfriendly from the beginning. Maybe he was having a bad day, but his greeting was short and to the point. The next day I also learned that Sam has issues with sand. While I was shaking my towel out in the parking lot, (which is about 2 feet from the door of each room) he came... more

My husband and I stayed here for our 11-month-old's first trip to the beach. This is a great little place - we stayed in the King Efficiency.

The room... more

The Sand Dollar is... more

My husband and I celebrated our tenth anniversary during the Seafood Festival (first weekend of October). Upon reading good reviews of the SDMotel, we booked a 2 night stay. We really enjoyed the motel, loved talking with the owners and getting their advice on the area. We ate at Four Corners Diner which was delicious! We had a relaxing day... more
