What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 521 guest reviews
Sea Crest Inn earns consistently strong marks for its unbeatable location directly across from the beach, spotless rooms, and warm, attentive staff that guests describe as a highlight of their stay. Most complaints are minor and comfort-related — firm beds, dated furniture, insufficient bathroom hooks, and inconsistent pool/hot tub temperatures — rather than serious concerns. Reviewers broadly agree it is an honest, well-priced property that delivers more than its modest positioning suggests.
