Many describe a quiet, relaxed vibe and consider it fairly priced for Wildwood Crest. Some reviews note small or sparsely equipped kitchenettes, missing toiletries, and a rare maintenance or noise issue. Expect a simple, beachside motel experience.

We had a good mid-week stay at Sea Chest. It is a very short walk to the beach, which is huge and beautiful. The outside of the motel, and the pool area, are updated and very nice, and have grills for the guests to use. The biggest drawback is that our room looked old and tired. It was comfortable enough, and sported a large apartment sized fridge which was great. But the bathrooms are original 1950s bathrooms with nothing updated, including no electrical outlets, and all of the the furniture was old and worn. But the price was extremely reasonable, the staff was very nice , and we felt that the good out the bad, especially given the price.

We would definitely recommend the Sea Chest Motel. John and his wife were very accommodating and the hotel continues to captured the Wildwood Crest Charm. The property was very family friendly with free use of the pool, grills, picnic are. The location was perfect in the Crest with bike rentals across the street and the beach only a short walk from the hotel. We will absolutely stay there again in the future.

The couple who own The Sea Chest were lovely . The hotel itself is dated and in need of some updating. It is not handicapped accessible and has limited amenities. There is a pool, gas grills, patio area and ping pong table. Other guests did not respect “quiet times” and children were allowed to run wild.

Parking on site, and less than 2 blocks from the Jitney pickup. Really nice checkin- the man who runs is very nice and friendly and while there’s no housekeeping after they leave for the day he was willing to help with anything we needed. Pool was awesome for us and the kids- they loved the slide. Plenty of spots to lay out. Grills, ping pong table outside. Really a nice family atmosphere. Cute room - fit the 4 of us without a problem. The only negative was there’s no shampoo, conditioner or body wash and they don’t sell any there so bring your own. Other than that it was a great time and we will definitely be back.

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.

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.

The property is outdated. The bathroom sink faucet couldn't turn off completely. The anti-slip mat in the bathtub looks black after wetting it, kinda disgusting, we had it removed when taking a shower. The worst thing that happened to me was feeling itchy during sleep. I decided to take a shower and put on some lotion to see if that made me feel better. Just a little bit. I was worried if there were bed bugs or other insets. I barely slept that night. The next day the owner told me their sheets were using a new detergent, maybe I was allergic to the chemical. Maybe. This has never happened to me before. I don't feel itchy anymore the next day though. If we hadn't decided to stay an extra in the area, and if the previous hotel had a room available, we wouldn't have stayed at this one just based on an 8 rating. It doesn't deserve high ratings. We would never book an outdated hotel anymore. It's not convenient and comfortable at all.

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.

This motel perfectly fits the vibe and character of Wildwood. John is a wonderful host. Super clean and comfortable property. Exceptionally well maintained. Location is awesome. Had a really nice run along the pedestrian/bicycle path, and enjoyed a beautiful walk along the beach.

We had a good mid-week stay at Sea Chest. It is a very short walk to the beach, which is huge and beautiful. The outside of the motel, and the pool area, are updated and very nice, and have grills for the guests to use. The biggest drawback is that our room looked old and tired. It was comfortable enough, and sported a large apartment sized fridge which was great. But the bathrooms are original 1950s bathrooms with nothing updated, including no electrical outlets, and all of the the furniture was old and worn. But the price was extremely reasonable, the staff was very nice , and we felt that the good out the bad, especially given the price.

We would definitely recommend the Sea Chest Motel. John and his wife were very accommodating and the hotel continues to captured the Wildwood Crest Charm. The property was very family friendly with free use of the pool, grills, picnic are. The location was perfect in the Crest with bike rentals across the street and the beach only a short walk from the hotel. We will absolutely stay there again in the future.

The couple who own The Sea Chest were lovely . The hotel itself is dated and in need of some updating. It is not handicapped accessible and has limited amenities. There is a pool, gas grills, patio area and ping pong table. Other guests did not respect “quiet times” and children were allowed to run wild.

Parking on site, and less than 2 blocks from the Jitney pickup. Really nice checkin- the man who runs is very nice and friendly and while there’s no housekeeping after they leave for the day he was willing to help with anything we needed. Pool was awesome for us and the kids- they loved the slide. Plenty of spots to lay out. Grills, ping pong table outside. Really a nice family atmosphere. Cute room - fit the 4 of us without a problem. The only negative was there’s no shampoo, conditioner or body wash and they don’t sell any there so bring your own. Other than that it was a great time and we will definitely be back.

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.

I don’t know how this property had such a high rating that I booked a night’s stay. The outside looked pretty good but the inside of the room was outdated and my feet stuck to the floor. The room was kind of clean but there was rust on the sink and the water spouts were old. There was a coffee maker but no coffee. At the very best I would have rated this hotel a 6.

We had a wonderful stay at Sea Chest Motel in Wildwood Crest, NJ for the Barefoot Country Music Festival. 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. They made us feel comfortable and appreciated as guests. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely return in the future!
