See Sea Motel

A straightforward Beach Road motel in Kill Devil Hills, steps from the sand

(316)
Kill Devil Hills, NC

About

See Sea Motel sits along S Virginia Dare Trail in Kill Devil Hills — the stretch of Beach Road that runs parallel to the dune line on the northern Outer Banks. It's listed as a vacation rental property, a straightforward option for travelers who want a bed close to the ocean without a lot of frills attached to the booking.

Kill Devil Hills is the historic heart of this stretch of the Outer Banks — the Wright Brothers made their first powered flights here in 1903, and the national memorial marking that spot is a short drive (or bike ride) from most Beach Road addresses. The town sits between Kitty Hawk to the north and Nags Head to the south, with Jockey's Ridge State Park and its towering dune system just a few minutes away by car.

  • Beach Road (Virginia Dare Trail) location, within easy reach of the public beach accesses that run the length of Kill Devil Hills
  • Close to US-158/Croatan Highway for grocery runs, restaurants, and shopping without leaving town
  • Convenient to the Wright Brothers National Memorial and Jockey's Ridge State Park

Peak season here runs Memorial Day through Labor Day, when the beach towns fill in; April-May and September-October are quieter and often the more comfortable months to visit. As with anywhere on this barrier island, keep an eye on the forecast during hurricane season, particularly August through October. For current rates and availability, contact See Sea Motel directly or check its website.

This place is just ok. The location is great and it is an updated motel. We liked the location and the decor of room 20. Coffee maker, microwave and fridge are always good to have, especially since there is no ice machine. The pool was nice. The issue we had was that the room had an odor of mold smell. It was very humid or wet feeling in the room too. I am sensitive to smells so did not like that. The room was clean though. Floors not so much but I expect that from beach hotels and we wear slippers around the room. It was plenty cool and quiet for us. I forced myself to get past the smell. Unfortunately the bed was hard and uncomfortable. Not sure if the other rooms have the same mattress but it was terrible. Maybe another room would be better. I don't know if I'm willing to take the chance. It would be nice if they could mitigate the mold issue/smell or cut the humidity down to prevent it. Had no issue with getting in the room. No staff on site but some cleaning crew can be seen in the late morning if you needed to ask for things I assume. There was always a parking spot available. It was very tight to navigate if you have a larger vehicle but it is possible.

Let me start with ... You get what you pay for. The parking lot is so tiny that full size trucks cant fit. Three different full size trucks were parked and other vehicles cant get past. We had to park on the street. Not to mention that there are not enough parking spaces to begin with. Also, the floors were filthy! Our feet were black after just 10 min of walking around the suite. The beds were super uncomfortable, despite having a mattress pad. You can feel every spring. There is no ice machine. The fridge leaked. ... and the bath tub was grey stained in filth. The towels and wash clothes are stained too. The tub wouldnt drain. My friend and I traveling with our blue collar husbands... they opened up the drain and removed 3 hair wads, each the size of a softball. Tub drains well now. Lol. The kitchenette had a plate and bowl but no silverware or cooking items. So ... you get what you pay for. If you want a bed to sleep in with ac for $130/night. This is your place. If you want a clean, maintained, comfortable place, with easy parking, this isnt it. Also note that there is no staff on site.

We stayed in apartment 2! It was clean and the beds were so comfy! We love that you offer apartment style rooms to accommodate our family of 6! Perfect location for walking distance to restaurants and icecream shops and a public beach access across the street! We will definitely be staying here again for our next trip!

Cozy, clean, and adorable rooms. Close to the beach, and restaurants. The pool is perfect and it is priced right! Keyless entry, we didnt need any service. We got clean towels each day.

This place is a hidden gem of great value! Rooms are small but that's expected in a classic OBX motel. Renovations are great, room was very clean and smelled good, bathroom very nice. King bed was very comfortable. Parking could be tight in a full size truck but our small SUV had no issues. We'll definitely be back for some more weekend trips!
