Oddly, I was prompted to write this after a bad experience with another hotel and I thought "The folks at Sea Oats would never behave this way." Our family has been staying at the Sea Oats one to two times a year for the past 15 years. We love it! We've stayed in the efficiency rooms in the hotel, the... more

My children and I stayed at The Sea Oats Motel in Destin for 3 nights and it was a wonderful experience! We decided to get away from our usual resort-like accomodations. And we were impressed at how clean the room was, the bedding was decent, it was convenient having a kitchenette with a stove and full-size frig (the kitchenette felt... more

I have been coming to the Sea Oats for 20 years on and off. As the family has expanded and contracted we have stayed in larger condos. But for my husband and me, nothing is more intimate and relaxing than the Sea Oats. We sleep in, eat breakfast in on the bacony, lunch out, and either cook or grill dinner... more

Sea Oats Motel is the place to stay if you are a true beach bum! The rooms all have views of the Gulf and it takes seconds to get to the beach. We've been going for over 5 years now and we love the rooms, the staff, the location; there's nothing negative to say about this place!! Sea Oats is... more

We planned a girls weekend away and I loved the atmosphere in Destin. It was very calm and relaxing!!! The sea oats motel is a small motel that sits right on the beach. It is not a condo by no means, nor did they say it was. If you are looking for a cheaper motel than the condos this is... more

What we found was just about exactly what the other reviews said, but I may be able to fill in a few details. The room. While older, it was very clean, and everything worked fine. We stayed in one of the efficiency apartments above the office, and it was nice. Very complete kitchen, right down to an electric mixer, a... more

My Family's first stay at the Sea Oats was in the summer of 1968. Back then it was only a one story hotel. We went back every summer till 1979. I have been back a few times since then and will be there again for Thanksgiving week. Some of my best childhood memories include the Sea Oats. I have always... more

The sea oats motel is only one of two motels or inns located directly on the beach. I suppose all the other places are condominiums. I enjoyed staying at the Sea Oats. It is an older place. I stayed in room 14 on the second floor which is reached by climbing an outside flight of stairs. The rooms have outside... more
