The place is quiet, immaculately clean, and close to the beach. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The owner also was gracious enough to move my reservation by a week due to a work conflict, which was great. I did not give it a full star rating only because it did not have a door on the closet, the fridge and TV were plugged into a power strip and as a fireman, I know that is against code. I also was up with the sun because they did not have blackout curtains, only a vertical blind. These are some recs I would make: The hotel is in a little need of updating. The bathroom is 1970's decor. The blackout curtains would be a plus. Overall, a wonderful stay! ☺Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

This is a family owned motel and very well taken care of with a retro vibe. The pool area is great and has plenty of seating as well as outdoor grills. It's 1.5 blocks from the beach in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to the boardwalk. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to coming back next year. | Liked: cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

Very pleased, I will book again! ☺Very clean, the proprietor is on site and always friendly and accommodating. The pool was perfectly sized and clean, although my itinerary was too busy to enjoy the water at this time. The location was perfect and accessible by walk to the beach or bay, restaurants, parks, or a short drive to shopping, attractions and Cape May. ☹Nothing was disappointing!

It was a nice place to stay for a one night get away. ☺There was no breakfast offered. The location was good. It was close to the beach and we enjoy staying in Wildwood Crest as it is a bit less congested. ☹The motel is cute but is dated. The room felt a bit tight with the 2 full sized beds and small pull-out futon.

This is an older motel, but don't let that fool you—it was exceptionally clean and very well maintained. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can tell she truly cares about the property. She was proud to show me her beautiful garden ( Dahlias and zinnias) which added a personal and charming touch to my stay. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable place with genuine hospitality, I would definitely recommend staying here. It was a short walk to the beach and convenient parking. We will stay there again. | Liked: cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

The property is a little dated, but it was superbly clean and very well maintained, which mattered much more to us. The staff was friendly, welcoming and always helpful throughout our stay.

This is a hidden gem. It is an older motel with all the conveniences and amenities you want just minutes from the beach. The pool is big and clean, there’s are plenty of lounge chairs, and it is a short walk to the beach. The owner takes pride in caring the property and is extremely courteous and kind. I saved so much money because the room had a kitchenette and I was able to cook all of my meals. Everything was so clean and we always had enough towels. This is great for a single person, couple, or famoly! I will never waste my time looking for wildwood hotels again and only stay at Sea Chest from now on. | Liked: cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

Surprisingly Relaxing for Peak Summer I usually judge places by whether I’m irritated after the first hour, and honestly… this trip was easy. No loud chaos outside the room at night, no fighting for parking, no weird smells, no broken random stuff you have to call about. Just a clean place in a really good part of Wildwood Crest where everything felt low-stress. The beach access is quick, but the area itself feels calmer than the center of Wildwood, which ended up being the best part of staying here. Also appreciated that the pool area never felt rowdy even when it was busy. Families, couples, people grilling, everyone just kind of doing their thing. It felt more like staying at someone’s well-kept shore property than a typical motel.

okay the Sea Chest Motel in Wildwood Crest is genuinely so underrated it's criminal. the rooms were spotless, the beds were so comfy, and the beach is basically right outside your door -- like location could not be more perfect. the staff remembered our names which honestly made me feel so seen lol. the whole vibe is retro Jersey Shore but actually charming?? we had the BEST time and i'm already planning a return trip. if you're sleeping on this place, wake up.

Stayed with our two kids and ended up using the outdoor space way more than expected. The BBQ grills were a big plus--we cooked a few dinners instead of going out every night, which made things easier and cheaper. There were plenty of spots to sit outside, so we didn't feel stuck in the room.

Easy, Comfortable Family Stay Close to Everything Family stay at Sea Chest Motel was smooth and stress-free. The room was clean, well-kept, and had everything needed for four without feeling cramped. The pool was a big hit with the kids, and the location made it easy to get to the beach and boardwalk without hassle. Staff was friendly and helpful throughout. Not over-the-top, just a reliable, comfortable place that makes a family trip easier.

Low-Friction Stay That Doesn’t Waste Your Time Stayed at Sea Chest Motel solo and the biggest difference was how efficient everything felt. No long check-in, no confusion, no unnecessary steps—just straightforward. Being in Wildwood Crest, I could move between the beach, food spots, and back to the room without planning anything out. It’s the kind of place where you don’t think about the stay at all, which ends up making the trip better.

What stood out right away at Sea Chest Motel was how quiet it felt, especially being so close to everything in Wildwood Crest. With three kids, I expected noise and chaos, but it was calm enough at night that everyone actually slept without issues. The cleanliness was noticeable the entire stay. Not just when we checked in--everything stayed consistently clean, from the room to the pool area at Sea Chest Motel. It didn't have that worn-down feel you get at a lot of shore motels.

Kids Loved It, Parents Approved If the kids are happy, the trip works. And they loved everything about Sea Chest Motel. Pool time, quick walks to the beach with easy access made every day simple. As a parent, I appreciated how well-kept everything was and how smooth the whole stay felt. No issues, no stress.

Exactly What a Wildwood Family Trip Should Feel Like Traveling with three kids is never simple, but Sea Chest Motel made it feel easy. The room was spotless, spacious enough for all five of us, and had everything we needed without feeling cramped. The pool was a lifesaver—my kids practically lived in it while we relaxed nearby. The beach being so close meant we could go back and forth without packing up half the house. This place just gets what families need.

Sometimes it's nice to stay at a location that isn't all advanced and high tech! ☺ The facility may be vintage and Wildwood "old school" but it was clean, comfortable, safe and affordable. The owner (Jim) who checked us in was friendly and helpful. A good choice for our stay. While we didn't use it, the swimming pool was clean and nice. Various restaurants are available in the area. ☹ Nothing that we really didn't like.

Great value ☺ The rooms, pool and grounds were super clean and well cared for. The beds were very comfortable and supportive. The proximity to the beach was great and there were nice common areas with tables and umbrellas. The shower had very good pressure with lots of hot water. ☹ Our room did not have a light over the kitchen area, but they are adding lights and outlets room by room.
