Quiet, clean, friendly
Pros:

About 2 blocks from the beach.. 40 min walk to the entrance of the boardwalk. Clean hotel with friendly owners. We enjoyed our stay. One suggestion would be for the kitchenette to have more things such as lids for their pots, mitts, a set of smaller plates and a 4 count of glasses and coffee cups. There were only 2 of each.

Pros:

The Sea Chest motel is a gem in the heart of Wildwood Crest. Our room, including the bathroom, was very clean. Our room had a full size fridge and freezer. There is free WiFi and a HDTV. Johnny, the proprietor, is very friendly and helpful. He and his family do a great job keeping this motel looking great. This motel's location is only two blocks from the south end of the Wildwood boardwalk. The motel is one block from the beach. We would gladly stay at the Sea Chest Motel again.

Classic Jersey Shore Family Trip
Pros:

Our family had a really nice stay at Sea Chest Motel. It’s a smaller, quiet place that felt safe and welcoming. The rooms were basic but very clean, and the whole property is clearly taken care of with pride. Great spot if you’re looking for something low-stress and close to the ocean. The kids were already asking when we can go back!

Great stay!
Pros:

I booked this hotel on a whim for a long weekend. Let me just say it was such a cute little place. It is family run and the staff were super helpful. When we arrived our room happened to be ready early and John explained everything on arrival. They do not do house keeping daily but if you need anything they are right there to assist. The room was very nostalgic BUT we had a little kitchen with a full fridge , sink , stove, cabinets , microwave and table, that usually doesn’t happen at hotels/motels. We had fresh towels in-front of our room daily. Our room was clean the beds and pillows were very comfortable and it was perfect for what we needed it. The pool was clean and it was convenient to the beach. Would stay here again.

Awesome stay!
Pros:

My best friend and I came down for a long weekend with my 2 kids, a toddler and a 2 month old. The Sea Chest was legit perfect for us! Super clean, family orientated, a block from the beach, affordable, and in a quiet area of the crest. The pool was also perfectly gated, if you have small kids, you know. We met John and his son David who were both wonderful! The room had a small kitchen with a sink which was perfect for washing bottles. We couldn’t figure out how the futon worked so we called the front desk, David came over within 5 seconds and showed us and checked in on us to make sure we were okay, that the kids were good, and if we needed anything. We had fresh towels every day. We honestly can’t wait to come back and stay again!

Very clean nostalgic motel
Pros:

Your typical wildwood nostalgic motel with a big flat screen tv. The owner is very nice and the room, and property as a whole, was VERY clean. Been coming to ww my whole life and I was impressed. The pool is great with plenty of outside seating….chairs, loungers, tables and umbrellas.
