About this property

Welcome to Sea Ray Motel

The Sea Ray Motel offers a genuine Wildwood experience with its old-school charm and unbeatable location. Nestled at 5006 Ocean Ave, this three-star motel stands just steps away from the beach and the lively boardwalk, providing guests with unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the perfect spot for travelers seeking simplicity without compromising cleanliness and comfort.

Guests frequently highlight the motel's warm, welcoming atmosphere, largely thanks to the exceptional hospitality of the staff. Ms. Patel, the friendly and compassionate manager, consistently goes above and beyond to ensure every visitor feels cared for and accommodated — a rare and touching quality that leaves a lasting impression.

Rooms, while modest and straightforward, are spotless and well-maintained. Accommodations like room #9, featuring multiple beds, futons, and a full-size refrigerator, make it ideal for families or groups. The ability to relax on a private balcony with a breathtaking ocean sunrise fosters a peaceful yet invigorating stay.

What truly makes the Sea Ray Motel stand out is its blend of simplicity and soul. Though it lacks luxury frills, it makes up for it with genuine kindness, excellent proximity to entertainment venues like the Convention Center and mini-golf courses, and an authentic beachside vibe that invites guests to enjoy both relaxation and excitement in equal measure.

I stayed in room number nine and it was perfect for me and my two adult sons. They had everything we needed. It was a great location.The staff was very friendly. Ms.Patel was the best. She was so very kind and helpful. Great location, great view of the ocean and a lot of excitement being that close to everything going on. It is not a 5 star motel, but it is enough to go,Have a great time, party and enjoy every bit You can get out of wildwood. The rooms were clean and the location was perfect. The boardwalk and the beach and the wildwood sign and the convention center are all right across the street.

This is a very old school modest hotel. No bells and whistles. HOWEVER. The rooms are very clean and new looking. The location is unbeatable it’s got one of the only unobstructed beach views. The lady who runs the place is the SWEETEST, KINDEST, Most accommodating human ever. 100000/10 on her hospitality. We rented #9 and it has 2 double beds, 2 twin size futons, a full size fridge, and efficient kitchen, and the AC is cold! We lucked out and our neighbors switched their room so we have the entire upstairs ocean front balcony to ourselves. It is directly at the end of the wildwoods sign. Couldn’t ask for more!

My family and I were in Wildwood for our daughter's competition which was at the Convention Center. We wanted a place to stay that was clean and was close to everything. The Sea Ray was perfect for us! It was very clean and located right across the street from the boardwalk, Convention Center, mini golf, etc. The hospitality was wonderful! Anything that we needed, Patel was there always with a kind smile on her face. We will definitely be staying there again!

Wonderful, modest motel. Has everything you can possibly need. The woman in the office is incredibly kind and reachable if you ever need anything. The room is very clean and well maintained, and when they say ocean view, they mean ocean view!! You can sit on the balcony for the morning sunrise and see the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean. There’s a small surf shop directly across the street, as well as the boardwalk entrance, and an ice cream shop one block away. Everything you need for a stay is within walking distance! 10/10

Great location right next to the Wildwoods sign on the south side of the board walk. The manager was kind and helped me and my friends out on short notice when our previous booking fell through. Rooms were clean and the staff was always available when we needed them. Highly recommend

Very reasonably priced for being set just crossed from the beach. The lady at the counter was extremely sweet and (seeing I was having a rough day) went above and beyond to help ease the pain of my day. It was nice to have someone show a little compassion and empathy for my situation even though I was a complete stranger. I can't thank her enough! She really did make a difference and a lasting impression on me. I will definitely keep them in mind the next time I'm in need of a room for the night!
