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

We stayed at the Sea Foam for a quick weekend getaway and we were not disappointed! The rooms are nothing fancy, but very clean and right on the beach! Beautiful views and a very helpful staff. We arrived later than normal Friday from Richmond and Tracy (?) was nice enough to accomidate us with a late check-in. The pier is... 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!

This motel always has a laid-back atmosphere. Me and my family stay at least once a year and we enjoy it. If you are lucky enough to get an oceanfront first floor room, you are in for a treat. The hotel is a little dated but it is always clean and the staff always friendly. Their rooms is a good... More

The classic beach motel is a disappearing part of Americana. Fortunately, for those of us who still love a screen door, a real key for the door, and knotty pine paneling, the Sea Foam is still going strong. We stayed for a couple of days in March when we were just about the only ones on the beach. This place... More

We recently made the trip out to the Outer Banks to celebrate a birthday, we didn't really plan ahead, just went for the day on a whim, so we didn't have a hotel room when we arrived. We wanted to be cost-conservative but really hoped for a place on the beach. An employee at an ice cream shop nearby told... More
