For me, this is the ideal location:  Near the natural beauty of State Parks, safe, quiet, five minute walk to the ocean/beach (without crossing a highway) with free beach access; free parking in lot.  Pool if needed, 5 min walk to coffee/acai bowl shop.  Our Harvest Restaurant was a delightful upscale surprise...easy walk over.  Other restaurants nearby.  Nightlife and boardwalks if you like, within a 20 minute drive at Ocean City, MD or Dewey/Rehoboth, DE.  I like being away from traffic and congestion and partying crowds.  

We stayed W-F and could definitely see the increase in crowds and traffic as people came down Friday.  We shared the beach with only like 15 people max on weekdays.

Older-style motel, but clearly updated.  Bright colors, fresh paint, lovely flowers.  Very clean, smells nice -- not like the damp, musty budget motels with ancient a/c and gross carpet.  Spacious room and balcony.  Tile in room, comfy bed.  Fridge, microwave, hair dryer, and ironing board are handy.  Friendly staff, always cleaning, solid no-frills coffee in the lobby.

Cons:  no elevator, if that matters to you.  Third floor was two flights of stairs, no big deal.  Would have been a pain in the rain since you are exposed.

Bathroom is smallish if you're a larger person.  Sink on the outside is best, IMHO, as they have it set up.

This is not a luxury experience, if you want Holiday Inn or better, don't stay in a motel.  If you want a clean, safe spot for a quick beach-focused getaway, then this is an easy choice.

Pro/Con:  pets allowed on the bottom floor.  Didn't seem to be in a issue.

Would go back!

This is my second time returning this year and I have been going for 10 years.
Its clean and a half block from the ocean and the beach is clean and never crowded yet its only.09 miles from OCMD . The hotel is clean and quiet and the rooms are bigger than most hotels. My room had a couch and a table and two chairs, a large desk along with an outside porch- great for a beer at night. A great place to recharge your batteries. They have free tasty coffee in the morning and a reasonably priced diner across the street. The hotel next door is double the price. 
 

Excellent Love this place !

Not a nice place to stay.  Management is not friendly as people say in other reviews.  Was treated like royalty at other places that we stayed at compared to here.  Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.  Be careful!  They will try to get you for every dollar, it's ridiculous.

Horrible Experience

This is a wonderful basic motel in Fenwick Island on the east side of Coastal Highway (no major rood to cross to get to the ocean). It is clean and quiet and they have a small pool perfect for the kiddos. The room comes with ironing board. iron, hair dryer, tv, great ac, shampoo, conditioner etc - all of the amenities you'd find at a high priced hotel for a motel rate. The room furnishings are older but the housekeeping staff does an impeccable job of keeping the room clean - especially with all of the sane people drag in from the beach. It is a family run place and jus a hidden gem. Would recommend to anyone that does not require a hilton or Marriott but just a clean place to sleep. Good restaurants in walking distance. Bunting Avenue is a great place to stroll down to get to any location on Fenwick Island without the Coastal Highway traffic. Easy beach access

Hidden gem in Fenwick Island

The place is like home away from home ! Comfortable, clean and close to everything....Coffee every day and its delicious and included...half of a block from the beach. The beach is pristine and was never crowded. My friend stayed next door at 3x the amount ....Spacious clean and peacful ..we will be back before summers end...great value ! Best I slept in a while ...

Loved it will return and the sfaff was a family and they were awesome

Mom and Pop old style traditional cheap beach motel seemed promising but unbearably loud. Heavy metal room and balcony doors slam and bang all hours in the night. Management unresponsive to complaints. Not worth $950 for 3 day labor day weekend. Our expectations were simple but we did want to sleep! Hotel was less than 1/3 full, they wouldn’t love us and stated “that’s what can happen in a hotel you get loud neighbors”. Manager promised not to put anyone above us after we complained of noise from 2:00 am nonstop to 7:00am, but went ahead and placed people above us again who were also up all night banging around. No response to our complaints 3 nights in a row.
Don’t stay here not worth the cash savings to be exhausted after each night if no sleep.

extremely loud

We enjoyed our long weekend at Seaside Inn. The rooms were large and clean. The beds were comfortable. The room has a mini fridge and microwave. There is coffee available in the lobby all day. Staff was friendly. Each room has a balcony and 2 chairs. The beach was a very short walk (a block). The hotel allows dogs so we did hear dogs barking during the day - it did NOT impact our sleep at night.  This was our first time staying at Fenwick and Fenwick itself is not very walkable (lack of sidewalks) and most stores closed by 5 or 6 pm which is a bummer because we like to walk and shop in the evening.  However, that did make it safe to walk through parking lots. We did walk to get ice cream a few times.

Clean and Comfortable

Love this place! Very clean. Great rates. Staff are helpful and super nice. A couple houses from the beach. Nice pool and pet friendly. No catfishing here. Rooms are as pictured. Quiet at night and only a couple miles from OCMD. Have seen dolphins and a whale from the top of the dune. Only drawback is no elevator but very accommodating if you require a 1st floor room. Beaches are not crowded. Will be returning!!

Debbie

Older hotel but it is super clean. The king bed was comfortable. Close and easy walk to the beach. Nice shops and restaurants close by. Front office staff were friendly and so were the cleaning staff. I don't have a dog but it was quiet for being pet friendly. I would get a room that wasn't in the back because the view is a backyard. Also be aware there are no elevators. If you want a clean comfortable room this place is nice. The beach is not crowded and it is close to Ocean City but much less crowded. Would definitely stay again.

Great clean and comfortable hotel

I have been going for years. The owner takes great pride in the cleanliness and appearance of the hotel. There is a new improvement every year. Staff are always visible. 2 minute walk to the beach. The hotel itself is very quiet. I would recommend to anybody.
