Sea Escape Oceanfront Lodging - Motel in Smith River - 15370 US-101, USA

Neat little hole in the wall. Run down and out dated, but a neat little clean place. The room we were in had a full kitchenette with a little fridge, 4 burner stove and it slept at least 4 comfortably. 1Q, 1Full, and a couch. Full bath. Parking is limited but they don't mind if you park in the grass either which is still very close and not inconvenient at all. Owner has some very beautiful plants outside that are very vibrant and pretty. A very short walk to a private beach area made it very nice and relaxing to be there. They are not huge, I think they probably have around 13 rooms. I was pleasantly surprised that this quaint older building was as comfy as it is. Don't expect fancy, but it definitely feels homey. Happy Beaching!

Good service and a great location make this worthwhile. Secluded section of beach, easy access, great views Room has some nice amenities (full kitchen, cute decor, nice sheets) but has seen heavy use and it shows (leaky faucet, missing floor trim for example) Great getaway spot

Increadible value, right on the beach, my doggy is allowed! (best if you call and book directly 😉). Neat and tidy, but very lived in and a little worn around the edges, but so perfectly comfy! Little fridge (stocked with 6 eggs and butter for breakfast!), stovetop, microwave, coffee maker. The owners are very attentive. This is such a wonderful place that I will come back as soon as I am able. I am so happy my friend recommended this little gem.

Cute litte mom n pop place. The kitchenette was small but worked Just fine. Good space, and the BED was AWESOME! Pillows were great also! Clean. Smelled a bit musty with the windows closed. Had access to a great beach!! Fire pit we can use. Several gas grills for use, it was really a cute nice place. A couple rooms are pet friendly. I do recommend. As you can see, good rockhound beach.

Great easy access location close to the Redwoods and toes in the sand of the Pacific! Private nicely manicured lawn with bbq leads you down a vintage walkway to your beach. Loved the retro efficiency, it was clean, spacious with very comfortable mattresses. Everything you need with nice touches like eggs in the fridge and pancake mix if you wish to cook. Just wished we could have stayed longer!

This location is directly on the beach, owners were very accommodating for us not having reservations. This is not a luxury hotel.. it is clean, comfortable, and very well priced. With a military discount our room was $100 a night.

The view is amazing. The setting is soothing. The motel sits on a cliff above the beach, which is accessible by an easily navigable stair/path. There is a fire pit, a BBQ, and plenty of grass for kids/adults/dogs to run around in. They also have a movie library for guests to borrow from. The rooms are not modern, but they are clean and cozy and have perfectly adequate kitchenettes. (They stock the kitchenette with enough tools to cook your own meals, and will loan you more stuff if you need). The bathrooms are pretty basic, and I'd advise people to bring their own shampoo/conditioner/soap, unless they are cool with bar soap and conditioning shampoo. The management is quietly friendly, so don't expect overt enthusiasm from them, but don't be surprised if they set you up with morning waffles. We had time for one night on the coast, and also had two dogs. Sea Escape is dog friendly, and infinitely more beautiful and relaxing than the other dog friendly options down the coast into CA. It was a few miles out of the way, but was the best decision ever. We can't wait to have a proper vacation there.

You can't beat the views from this place, with a private walk down to the beach just a few steps from the door. It's simple, but they go the extra mile to make it comfortable and enjoyable: eggs in the fridge, a well-stocked kitchenette, comfy beds and bedding, everything clean. It's quiet and feels safe. We were without Wi-Fi for a while, but we just played cards and such. Also, the shower door is a bit precarious because it opens right into the corner of the sink ha ha, so be wary. A great stay!
