Although the Sea Ranch Motel isn't a new kid on the block, the location gives it extra stars. We had a room on the second floor of the older building which was clean but without many frills. There was a nice little private balcony with two rocking chairs which was mere yards from the crashing waves...the reason we came to... More

My family has been staying at The Sea Ranch for over 20 years. This past Mother's Day weekend I invited three close friends to join me there. We stayed in the Fish Family Cottage for a week and had a very good time. The three of them loved to take a book and sit by the ocean while I preferred... More

My husband and I used our tripadvisor and it totally paid off. We had not been on a vacation in 6 years, nor had we EVER been to Carolina Beach. Not only are the rates reasonable for the area and time, but the hotel is great. After reading my tripadvisor, there were no surprises. The hotel is older, but clean.... More

I stayed in this Motel with my two sisters for our annual "sisters' get-a-way". It was a very nice "no frills" motel. We had a balcony facing the ocean with a great view! Very quiet & private with easy access to the beach. The staff was very friendly & accomodating. We choose not to have our room cleaned since we... More

Stayed in room 108 this past weekend. Pool was 6 steps out the door. The room wasn't ocean view but close enough to hear it. The room was only had a full sized bed dresser, tv, fridge, and 3 chairs, and a stool to put your suitcase on. Wish they'd swap out a chair for a small table though. AC... More

My family stayed here for the first time back in September. The oceanfront room was nice, but you need to stay on the second floor or higher to see the ocean. Great sunrise the first morning. Rooms were ok, not a 4 star but fine enough. The beds were clean and confortable. Wall AC unit worked well, but a little... More

Stayed here Labor Day weekend or at least part of the weekend.....Never again! Several sightings of cock roaches in the room. Arrived late Friday evening after driving through or creeping through Raleigh traffic on I40 on a typical 3 day weekend. Pretty much hit the sack upon arrival after the four hour drive plus the traffic and wanted to get... More

Booked here based on the ratings from Trip Advisor and the price. The hotel is nice, aged a little, but clean. I have had rooms at large expensive chain hotels that were dirty, this was spotlessly clean. Our beds were comfortable and the room a standard sized hotel room. Great beach access...private walkway. We changed rooms to an ocean front... More
