Back from a weekend trip yesterday. I was very disappointed in the Sea Foam. It's retro for certain. I think the bathroom sink has been there since it was originally built. Very cramped bathroom with fixtures that have seen better days. Indoor/outdoor type dark blue carpet that wasn't even laid properly. Mattress was a nightmare. Pillows and bedspread were relatively...

We have stayed at the Sea Foam Motel every time we have visited the OBX for the last seven years...we love it! Great value, rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff is always very friendly! The hotel is oceanfront, so it's very convienent to get to the beach. Plus, they have a beautiful gazebo, perfect for a break from... More

Sea Foam is a hotel with great character right on the ocean. View is excellent. So very close to the pier and many other sites/stores, etc. Loved our trip there. Motel is an older motel; very affordable. You can't beat the view!

We had been helping our daughter prepare her house for sale and decided to recover at the beach. A relative suggested the Sea Foam, and she was dead on. This motel reminds me of why I started going to Nags Head instead of the 'Grand Strand'. Wonderful view from the room, right on the ocean. It is retro, so if... More

We stayed at this motel for spring Bike Week 2013. We had reserved a courtside room (cheaper than oceanfront) and upon arrival was pleased to see that we had been upgraded to an efficiency/oceanfront, sand level walkout room. The original assignment was for a room that did not have heat, and it was really cold (46 degrees) when we arrived.... More

My Family has been staying at the Sea Foam for many years. This place is so family friendly. The beach, the pool, the scenic area make for a great vacation every year! Sea Foam is very well maintained and the staff is outstanding. This place is a hidden treasure!
