I stayed at the Sea Shore Feb, 2012. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the door to the room. Was afraid it would be like the Motel 6 I once stayed at, because the price of $130, tax included, was low for Santa Monica, CA. However, I was pleasantly surprised :) The room, as mentioned by others on this... More

We arrived here after a three night stay in Anaheim at the Grand Californian, so maybe the bar was set pretty high to start with. The first thing I can say is that we checked in earlier than expected and they were gracious and had a room ready. Ken ( I think was his name) pulled out a map and... More

We loved the Sea Shore Motel - while it was retro, it was also very well maintained and could not have been cleaner. Or room had a real villa feel, with big terracotta-coloured tiles and big windows. We stayed on the second floor and were really well placed to catch the ocean breeze. The motel was well placed - the... More

We were extremely pleased with our stay at the Sea Shore Motel. It was in a great location for a nice walk to the beach for relaxing, biking, and rollerblading. We stayed in apartment #40 and it had a full kitchen, comfortable L-shaped couch, private balcony, bathtub, table for 6, and clean and cool tile floors. Thank you for the... More

Being in sunny Malibu on a sparkling afternoon doesn't seem like too bad an idea –– unless you're sitting in a rented gas guzzling Crown Vic in stalled traffic on the southbound lane of the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway. Apparently, a few downed power lines farther along the pike can bring the mighty LA to a screeching halt. As I... More

We stayed in one of their deluxe apartments in a separate building for 4 nights, and we loved it. Check in was so easy and they were very helpful about what to see and where to go locally. The apartment was up a set of stairs and through a secure outside landing. The security meant that we felt safe leaving... More

I have stayed at the Seashore Motel before, and when I planned my birthday trip, I ultimately decided to stay there again. And I immediately remembered why. First, the quoting process is a breeze because the staff answers the phone, answers your questions, and provides you with helpful and honest information about the property and location. They offer rates that... More

Stayed here for 3 nights recently. The location is superb and the staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Ken who was always willing to help out. However it is a bit noisy at night so bring your ear plugs. The property itself is a bit dated and could use a freshen up, but its clean and serves its purpose. More
