Hidden Gem: Clean, Friendly, and AccommodatingThe owners, Fred and Sharon, are a delight to speak with when calling to make a reservation. They're kind, take the time to describe the accommodations, and are in no rush to hang up on you.I recently wrapped up a getaway to Rodanthe with my significant other, having stayed at Sea Sound Motel. A few days prior to arrival, we had a medical issue pop up. We had recently scheduled to stay at a second-floor regular room (no kitchenette). The medical issue hindered the ability to climb steps. In response to this, we called to try to change the reservation to a first-floor regular room. However, none of them on the first floor were available for that time period. Sharon graciously allowed us to use the efficiency room (with kitchenette) on the first floor for no additional cost! We agreed to not use the stove nor oven, though we had access to and could use the kitchen sink, large fridge, and microwave oven.We're so thankful for the owners being as accommodating as they are. It's a little thing like this that left such a positive impression on us.In addition to being accommodating, the rooms are thoroughly cleaned prior to arrival and there are no bugs.We're happy to have stayed at this motel for our first trip to the Outer Banks. If we make another trip out there, we'll aim to stay at the motel again.

We stayed in May of 2021 and we had an excellent experience. We were looking for a CLEAN, budget friendly place for our family, and this is what we got. Kitchen is stocked for cooking, large refrigerator, and exactly what we were looking for. Close walk to the beach, quiet town. The owners were so genuinely kind. Would definitely stay again.

What a hidden treasure! If you want a large fancy room, head to kittyhawk and pay $400/nt. If you want simple, clean, amazing service and relaxation this is paradise. Wife and I looked for a last second place for a 3 day getaway and I stumbled across Fred and Sharons motel. We will now be lifetime patrons! Amazing pre trip phone conversations and great people in person throughout our stay.

We rented a room in April 2019. First of all, Sharon was the sweetest host, making sure that we were comfortable and happy with our room. The efficiency room was clean and well stocked with all we needed - full refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishes, etc. It's located in the quieter part of the Outer Banks close to the ocean and sound. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend this motel! The owners are a sweet couple who provided great local recommendations. Room and amenities are nothing fancy (it is a motel), but are very well maintained and clean. We especially loved the rocking chairs outside of our room and the short walk to the beach! We'll be returning again for a quiet, affordable, and happy visit here.

My husband and I had a delightful experience at Sea Sound Motel! Very kind & helpful owners - Sharon and Fred are a great couple! I always dread going to hotels and motels because the beds always make my back problems work and I have trouble sleeping. Not so at Sea Sound Motel! I slept better in their bed better than in my own! Super comfortable. Quaint, clean room, brand new furnishings. Only wish that the single bed room had a microwave in it; we didn't need 2 beds, but the 2-bed room had a microwave. Great price for an out-of-season stay. Only a 4-5 minute walk to the beach - a quaint, quiet beach too! A good location too, since it is about half way between the northern and southern parts of the Outer Banks! Best meal we had from a local restaurant was from Lisa's Pizzeria - some of the most delicious pizza I've ever had, and they delivered it to our door! :) Would recommend this motel to anyone and we look forward to going back! Thanks, Sharon & Fred!

Fred and Sharon were very friendly and accommodating. We had to return to the Outer Banks to retrieve our truck that broke down a month earlier. We stayed at Sea-Sound and had a very nice weekend. As a kid, I first visited to the Outer Banks in 1972 and I have been coming back almost every year since. I have stayed in everything from a tent to $5,000.00 beachfront mansion. The Sea-Sound was a true gem. My wife and I plan to make several weekend trips and plan to make this our designation.Mark and Missy R.Springfield, VA

This was such a cute place. It was cozy and very clean. Sharon and Fred were the nicest, friendliest and very helpful owners. It was a pleasure getting to know them! It was just a short walk to the beach and there were plenty of local restaurants and shops nearby.

I absolutely couldn't have been more happy with my stay here. The owner was very friendly and helpful. My room was always clean and, I had a fresh set of towels everyday when I returned to my room. I would highly recommended this place to anyone looking to stay in Rodanth, North Carolina.

I cannot thank the owners enough for having a room available for a couple of stranded ladies. Friendliest couple I have ever met. Rooms are cute and clean. Feels very beachey homey! If I ever go back I would definitely stay here.

This place is awesome! When we first arrived, the owner talked to us like we were old friends. They were so hospitable! The rooms were comfortable and very clean. Our air conditioner didn't work at first and after telling them about the issue, they put a new air conditioner in immediately! This would never happen at any big chain hotels. We will definitely stay here again, only next time, hopefully longer.

My husband and I stayed for two nights last weekend.The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. This was our first visit, and I was thrilled that we were only a 5-minute walk from the beach. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to coming back again!

Great little mom and pop stay. Clean and comfortable, with great service! A few minute walk from the beach and on the quieter side of OBX. We absolutely loved our stay. Will be coming back as soon as we can!

Was extremely happy with the hotel for one night. The little touches that Sharon puts into the rooms one can tell she cares and loves what she does. She treated me like "family" from the minute I called to reserve for a night till the moment I checked out. Would stay there again in heartbeat!!! :-)

We are currently at the Sea-sound right now after being stranded due to flooded roads that cuts us off to the main land. Sharron at Sea-Sand was so nice and even gave us a discount so we can rest for the night before the roads open again. In these situations where you have stranded travelers, an establishment like this could easily jack their prices but instead they did a wonderful thing. Shout out to Lisa s Pizza across the street who also fed the stranded with great food and fun atmosphere. Will be recommending to all Kiteboarders!

This place is absolutely amazing. I stayed here last 4th of July weekend (2017) and I am headed there this Memorial Day weekend (2018). The rooms are super clean, I love the Deluxe 2 Queen, it is large, there is a refrigerator and microwave in the room, there is a beautiful salt water private pool out back that is secluded and super clean. This motel is a hidden gem and I recommend it highly! Family owned, by husband and wife, who are both so kind and helpful. Easy walk to the beach. Rodanthe had a claim to fame as the backdrop to Nicholas Sparks' famous novel and subsequent movie, "Nights in Rodanthe, 2008, with Richard Gere and Diane Lane.

Sits in a neighborhood of locals - this is much better than staying in the more tourist areas! I'll be back there next May for 10 days - need to call and confirm! Just a great small motel!

I live in the Asheville, NC area and the first time I went to the Outer Banks was probably nearly 20 years ago. I, and my dad, stayed at the Sea Sound Motel.Well, I am planning on going to Rodanthe in two more weeks and guess where I will be staying. The same place I have stayed numerous times since my first visit - The Sea Sound Motel.The rooms have always been very clean and comfortable. The location is only minutes from piers, access points, and other attractions. Honestly, for what you pay, I do not know if there is a better place on the Outer Banks. Just that simple. Great place. Great owners. Great experience. - KSC

Great little place with a pool and awesome beach access. My kind of motel... private, set back in a very unpopulated area of Rodanthe. Calm chill vibes and good people make this motel our favorite little temporary surf home.
