My family has been using Sea Oats for many years and have never had any problems and always enjoyed our stay with them. We always stayed in the Dolphin House which was perfect for family vacations. The staff was friendly for the most part and the house was well maintained. Then in 2011 my brother and his girlfriend got engaged... More

This reservation was made on December 27, 2011. The guest was informed of our policy that we would need to receive a deposit within 10 days or the reservation would be cancelled. A month later, after not receiving the deposit, the owner of the rental house elected to take the house off the rental program since there were no confirmed... More

This trip was the 2nd time we stayed at the Sea Oats Motel and although there was some confusion at the front desk we still enjoyed our stay very much. The confusion was that when we called 1 day before our arrival date to see if we could get a "rain check" due to the fact there was a Cat.... More

My husband and I used trip advisor to make our final decision between this motel around $80. and another one down the beach that was around $200. a night. Trust me when I tell you I'm spoiled rotten when it comes to vacations, but for a couple during off season, not on a special occasion this is doable, We are... More

We like places that are on the water and not across the street. This fits the bill, we had an upstairs unit overlooking the beach. The unit had been remodeled with a bedroom, kitchen area and bath. Having coffee on the balcony in the morning was great. The room was very clean and the price was very good. Restaurants down... More

Made a quick trip to the beach and decided to try the Sea Oats, we loved it, very small number of guests because of its size, clean nice smiple room, private beach, beautiful view from your room, just a few feet from the beach out your back door, its not a super fancy high priced highrise but its a wonder...

We have stayed at teh sea oates of 4 separate occassions, most recently in July of 2011. We like the location, price and small number of guests. This is a simple, old style motel. Only 2 stories, but right on the beach. The back of the rooms havesliding doors that open right to the beach. Great for quick bathroom breaks,... More

This was our first visit to the Sea Oats Motel and I wouldn't hesitate to return. We had a room with 2 queen beds and a kitchenette on the 2nd floor of the building. The view from our private balcony was wonderful. There was a tropical storm going on at the time but we didn't want to cancel our trip... More

The room was clean and appeared to up recently updated. Staff was friendly and helpful especially Rocky the cat. Great value for being right on the beach. Chair and umbrella rental a bit on the pricy side. Will go back More

We just returned from a little slice of heaven known as Destin Florida. For the last 18 years we have stayed at the hotel itself but switched this year. We stayed in M-4, which is not the hotel but is right beside it. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo. It is very clean and has a great updated... More
