We had a great stay. We stayed in room 10, a suite, which was perfect for our family. Motel has a private beach which was very nice. My family didn’t even want to go check out other beaches because they liked this one so much. Well situated, close to many restaurants and attractions. About 55 minutes drive to Provincetown for the afternoon. Continental breakfast in the morning was a nice touch, as were the other amenities (grills, firepit, ample seating areas. Overall a wonderful time.

For the price it's hard to compete with this place. Are there more upscale modern hotels on the cape? Of course, but this is a great budget option for those traveling with a family. The staff was wonderful, the breakfast was ready, and the beach was right next to your room. Would recommend!

Pleasant stay with family.

Booked the Sea Shell Motel last minute for a 4 night stay with 2 adults and 2 kids. The location was fantastic-walked right out the door to the beach. There are lounge chairs on the beach for guest use and staff take the beach daily which is nice. Our room was clean with 2 beds-probably more full size than Queen, so a little smaller than expected but ok for a short stay. We appreciated the small kitchenette (sink, fridge, microwave. Stocked with plates, cups etc and coffee maker). It was also nice to have a little extra sitting room area that was bright and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room Wasn’t cleaned for a couple of days but when I asked, they were quick to take care of it and it turns out we just didnt have the sign on our doorknob to let them know we wanted housekeeping. It looks like some things have been updated recently-the bathroom looked fairly new as did the flooring. The a/c was held together with duct tape so could use some attention although the room temperature was comfortable. The room smelled a little musty on arrival, probably hard to avoid with damp ocean air. There is also a little common area with a portable gazebo, table, fire pit and grill which we didn’t use, but others were using it. We did encounter a very strong smell of marijuana one night. The location is fantastic-easy access to restaurants, beaches and attractions in the mid-Cape area and not too far to drive anywhere.
