Great time here! Went this weekend with my girlfriend for a simple relaxing 4-day vacation away from our big city here in Florida. SEA SPRAY inn had a laidback 1960s vibe that is a great alternative to the chain places. Meg made us feel very welcome. She really works hard to keep the place looking good. The motel inn was very clean, the parking was ample, and communication was easy. Our room was comfortable and clean. No issues. A 5-minute walk from our room to the beach was awesome. Beach was super clean and water was great! Thanks Meg! read more

Old dated room with things falling apart. I would not even try to use the stove as the electric grates were popping up out of the top stove. Bathroom very tiny with horrible water pressure with little warm water. The biggest complaint....90 degrees outside and almost the same temp in the small living area! Walk to the bedroom and find the only small air con unit in the wall, bedroom was probably 70 degrees. The cold air never made it out to the living area despite the air con unit blasting 24/7, it never shut off and was loud! When speaking with 'Meg' as everyone says is her name, she puts the bedroom door in such a position that the air jets out into the living room! Sure it does Meg! Her resolution.....drop off a fan! Such BS! Not worth the $250 we payed. It could be such a nice place with an air con in each room....small price. Please look around town for another absolutely beautiful place for the same price that offers coffee and muffins in the morning! read more

Quaint upgraded motel-ish accommodations with full kitchens, comfortable beds, a well maintained garden and communal area, pool and a rooftop lounge. Two blocks or a 3 min walk to the beach. Tranquil and peaceful place to just chill. Meg takes care of everything and is super friendly. Cornhole and inflatable flamingo for the pool were nice added touches. It's in a super quiet neighborhood. We will be back. read more

Accommodation's were very nice. Great place for a few days or weeks stay. Very convenient to beach and easy drive to many restaurants

Let me start by saying this is not a 5 Star Lodging facility, but if you are looking for a quiet place with a friendly staff and convenient location this place is great. You are a casual 5 minute walk to the beach. Location is in a very quiet neighborhood with no heavy traffic. The heaviest traffic we saw was the rush at sunrise for those folks that wish to see a beautiful day start with the first morning light. For the price you have everything you need including a pool, large outdoor deck, easy parking and a staff that is hoping you have a good stay. For the amount of time we spend in a hotel room while on vacation this place seems to make the most sense. If I was going to spend over $500.00 a night I would never leave the room :(. I'm into getting out and enjoying the local attractions, great beach, good food and a quiet clean place to lay my head at night. We stayed for 3 days but we were so relaxed it felt like we had been here a week. We will definitely return. read more

They're trying hard to improve this property. Nice, Helpful friendly start. Minutes to the beach. read more

A delightful motel so close to Vero Beach. Rooms are older but clean and very comfortable. Meg, the desk clerk and all around greeter, helper, cleaner is sweet and so helpful. read more

Awesome place. Very clean, retro feel. Comfortable and just a (very) short walk to the beach. They had everything we needed, including beach chairs and umbrellas! It's our second stay here and there will definitely be a third. Thank you Meg!!! read more

I have stayed here twice in the past four months, and I plan to go back again. The rooms are beautifully decorated in beachy style, and I was quite comfortable. The rooms and grounds are very clean and neat. The "staff" is very pleasant and looking for ways to be helpful. The shopping area is a short, lovely drive away, and there are four public beaches, very well kept, within a couple of miles. Vero takes good care of its beaches, and the parking is FREE! The only real disadvantage is the fact that South Beach is a very wide beach. (People who go to Clearwater don't seem to complain about the size of their beach.) It is a beautiful beach with FREE parking (hear that, Clearwater?) Between the Sea Spray and South Beach park is a large FREE parking lot and a smaller lot . Then you get to the park which has grass, picnic tables, restrooms and showers. Then you walk on one of the mangrove-shaded boardwalks to get to the guarded beach. Take flip flops in the summer. The sand gets hot in the afternoon and it's a pretty good walk across the sand to the water. The walk is good for you, and you will hear mockingbirds and see bunnies, squirrels, and crows, and that's before you get to the beach Enjoy! read more

Really enjoyed our stay! Rooms were clean and staff was very friendly. I would go back and stay here again. Beach was just a short but beautiful walk. read more

I am not one to leave a bad review, but run from this hotel. They call it a resort, that's just laughable. I'm going to give you the reasons why I'm leaving it one star. First, I asked for a bottom floor when I booked and prepaid three weeks ago, bc I had my 75 year old mother for Mother's Day. They gave us a top floor, she could barely climb the stairs, and the office staff leaves at 6 p.m. so no one was even around to help us change rooms. They go off-site at 6pm so be aware. Second, on their website they say the beach is close. That's a joke. It's not, you have to go through a Park area and it's a long walk to the beach. There are homes and condos lining the road and is all privately owned. So you can't drive up to the beach and park you have to take a walkway which is quite a distance from the beach . I was never told that. We stayed here so my mother could see the beach, we couldn't even access the ocean bc my mom couldn't walk the far distance! When I booked it, I told them what I needed and they never said anything. Third, there's no AC in the room except a little tiny broken down unit in the wall, it was almost 88 degrees we got in the room. Fourth, no ice machine. Fifth, no hot water! I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and needed a hot bath AM amd PM, water was lukewarm at best in the evening, same in the morning. Only two towels and there were three of us. I paid 150 and night for this room. Not happy at all. This place is a dingy, old, rundown motel, do not be fooled that this is a resort of any kind. Next, we were sitting having coffee and the maid just walked right into our room, which had a screen door and a little storage area. She never knocked, she never said anything, she just walked right in. I asked her why she would do that, as I'm renting the room, she had no response, she got her cleaning cart out and left. The cart was stored outside our room within that little storage area. She never knocked before entering, she never said anything, she just burst right in our room. Surprising... If people are booking here, you need to be honest with us about what you get for $150 a night or more. That's why I'm telling you bc they didn't tell me. I booked online but then I called to verify, was never told about above issues or I would have stayed elsewhere, especially with my 75 year old mother. Shame on you. read more

Stayed in July 2018 for 5 nights. The staff were very friendly. Very clean. Pluses: nice bed, roomy, full kitchen,iron and board,telephone,toaster,microwave,dishes and glasses,utensils and pans, kleenex, toilet paper, towels, quiet location, 1970's decor, warm water pool, upper seating deck, chairs and table on the lawn. Laundry facility. Pop machine. Icetrays in freezer. Minuses: OLD. windows leak air, screens coming off, wall AC unit is good, but noisy. Can hear your neighbors. Light isn't completely blocked by shades. Water pressure is weak. The beach is actually 2 blocks away across a parking lot and a wooded area. The bathroom has no shelves for all your bathroom supplies. No paper towels. 2nd floor by stairs only. Would I stay again? Definitely. If you need an elevator and complete quiet and dark, this is not the place for you. read more

Another amazing stay at the Sea Spray Inn! We arrived 2 hours early, they let us check in with no hesitation. Our room, like the other two times I stayed there was immaculately clean. From the bedroom with its cozy feeling to the quaint kitchen with every amenity you need for a beach weekend was there! Even Tupperware for our left overs! The staff always welcoming, friendly faces. The pool was clean, refreshing, and peaceful. Our neighbors were fun and you really feel like a small community when staying there. Right when I walk into Sea Spray I feel like all my stress and worries fly right out the window! Thank you again to everyone at Sea Spray Inn! You will see me soon! ~ Jaime read more

Stayed here this past weekend and overall it was a great option for us at a great price. What cemented my choice to stay here was the ability to book a one bedroom option for under $125 a night. This worked out perfectly for my napping baby and my husband and I were able to relax in the separate living area. A few complaints such as a lot of the tv channels (hbo included) were full of static, the air conditioning unit did not work too well (and it was extremely loud but I love a loud a/c) and the worst thing was the living room seating options! It was one TINY couch and 2 uncomfortable chairs. Not ideal. However the bed was king sized and very comfortable, the shower was hot and only took 5 minutes to walk to the beach. For the money I cannot ask for much more. I would 100% definitely stay here again. read more

This place is a money trap! It overbooks so they can make more money by giving your reserved room to others with higher price if you show up late. That's why the check-in time is only 3-6 pm. We made a reservation in February 2022 a month before through Booking.com. I called the owner in advance that we would arrive later than 6 pm and the owner gave me a room # for us. When we got to the place at 9 pm, we were shocked that the room assigned to us by the owner was already occupied. I called the owner, asking which was our room. The owner immediately said "I do not have your reservation" without even asking my name or my reservation #. Apparently she was not surprised that someone would call her with a reservation for the overbooked room. The reason the owner said was that Booking gave the party who got the room ahead of us a reservation with the exactly same 10-DIGIT confirmation # AND the same LAST NAME. How in the world could that happen? The owner then went on saying it happens all the time and happened twice that day. These are all lies! We were forced to look for another place to stay at 11 pm that night and they probably made more money from that room. Shame on you. So be alert! If you show up late, you could lose your reserved room and your money they pre-charged you 2 weeks before. read more

I love this "off the beaten path" hotel. Meg went above and beyond to accommodate us. I'm a yankee that can appreciate a mid-century ambience. As two women traveling alone, safety is key to being able to RELAX. And having booked online it was reassuring that the Sea Spray was in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Parking is NO PROBLEM. You can tell the owners care and maintain the hotel. Finding close restaurants no problem. Beds comfortable and shower hot. Listening to ocean waves at night, priceless. read more

Lovely little place in Vero Beach. My room was very clean and had everything I needed. Staff was very welcoming and helpful. Will return; this one is special! read more

Stayed here for 4 nights the week before Easter 2018. Whether or not I would stay here again? I'm just not sure yet. Pros: Friendly owners, proximity to a public beach ( I enjoyed the ocean breeze and sounds of the surf), reasonable rates. The room was clean and had a small kitchen. Cons: Some of the things I mention here may seem unimportant to some people but to me, each affected my stay. The room had a pronounced moldy smell which finally dissipated after running the window unit AC for 2 days. I could have read in my room at night it was so bright. The windows are covered with wide slat blinds and that coupled with the lighting in the courtyard and the lighting behind the building made it impossible for me to darken the room enough to sleep soundly. I could hear the guest in the room next to my bathroom coughing loudly when I was brushing my teeth as though he was also standing in front of his own sink. I got frozen out of the shower one morning when I heard someone nearby start a shower and all my hot water disappeared. The showerhead was terrible. I experienced a lot of noise from the room above me. Lastly, there were two times that I would have complained about the noise from above but had no idea how to contact anyone after office hours. read more

The Sea Spray is an old, outdated, dingy motel which is not winterized....that is...there is no central heat. What that means for guests, at $170/per night, is that on cold nights (41 degrees on the February night we arrived, per our car temp reading) our room was absolutely freezing cold, the owners are absentee, the old jalousie windows allow in ice cold air, and you, along with the other guests at the motel... are provided a small space heater to heat your room. If this translates to be a safe, secure, or comfortable environment for you.....by all means book your stay. To us, this means this old motel could very well be dangerous and should be out of business. Inconsiderate, absent owners do the absolute minimum for guests, and show they have little interest in providing any kind of acceptable service. In our case they prepared the room for our 10 pm arrival with a cheap blanket on the bed, and the aforementioned space heater. Apparently they did not care that Central Florida was under a freeze warning the night we checked in....but I am sure that they know their rooms are uninhabitable when temperatures approach freezing. No one is on site that we observed between 6 pm and 10 am....the office is locked tight for 16 hours with no apparent management on site. Questions? Concerns? Need emergency help of any kind? Call the answering service number they leave in your room. Request a refund or a price adjustment for a room so cold we tried to sleep in our room fully clothed ? They attack or lie about their guests and time is wasted trying to deal with them. We had to stay a second night. (of course the stay was pre-paid and all other hotels were booked due to a holiday weekend)..The owners left 2 extra blankets in the room for night 2...though in 2 days there we never saw or met either of the owners. Do what we did.....should you have problems here (you will). Contact the web site you booked this horrible place through...and report the unsuitable conditions and terrible ownership, management and services. They may be able to help you receive compensation for poor treatment or conditions. They did for us, very quickly indeed. Makes you wonder....... read more

what a gem of a hotel! so charming and clean...and Meg is super sweet!! we will be back!

Really, really would like to give this place a higher rating, but I just can't. I just got back from a 2 day stay in this little motel (it is definitely not a hotel). I chose this place because it was at least 1/2 the price of others that are beach side in Vero Beach, as well as having looked it over online. Interesting that most people talked about their "bedroom units", mine was a studio (room 107) for the same price as the one bedrooms but no matter. PROS: The room was clean, the bed was surprisingly comfortable, nice bath products, plenty of hangers and storage area for clothing if you are staying more than a couple days, 2 full size luggage racks, stove, fridge, dishes,little table and chairs, microwave and coffee maker. Everything for the kitchen provided, except oddly, paper towels. Unlike some, my AC unit worked great but yes it is a wall unit vs. central. Pool looked nice and clean although I didn't use it because I spent the majority of my time with my family at another location. Close to the beach (I'd say a couple blocks) and right around the corner from a hotel with a piano bar and an amazing little pizza/Italian restaurant (seriously, if you stay here walk over to SOUTH BEACH PIZZA and partake). The lady that checked me in was very nice. CONS: Dishes that I used were dirty so I had to wash before using, bathroom is tiny and there is very little space to put your products outside of on the toilet tank. Water pressure is non-existence; seriously, it's like showering in a sprinkler. Given this is a beach motel with a very nice pool, you are probably sandy, salty and covered in lotion. It's a long shower and a few lathers to get clean. Parking is a challenge if you get in late at night. My first night I ended up parking in the public parking lot next door (sweating all night that I might be towed) because I had no idea there was parking in back (turned out to be full with one blocked off by the dumpster, found this out at 4 a.m. when I went to check on my car) and there are only 5 or 6 spots in the front. Parking next door is not a big deal; however, as there is a path from the parking lot to the motel but a little advance warning at check in would have been nice. Finally, this place is BRIGHT AT NIGHT! There are mini blinds on the windows, but with the security lighting right outside the room (nice bonus for sure), it is bright enough to read the remote controls with all the lights off and the TV off (seriously). I probably slept 4 to 5 hours each night just from exhaustion. Wasn't able to talk to anyone about it because I left before anyone came into the office and came home after they were gone. I might come back but I'll have to think about it. read more

We love this little motel! It has an "old" Florida vibe, the furniture is a little dated, but it adds to the kind of retro charm and vibe of this place. Rooms are bright, ours had a small kitchenette, and outside there are tables and a pool in the courtyard.. On the second story, there is an outdoor deck to enjoy a cocktail and the sunset. Best of all, it's right across the street from the beach. The staff at the desk was very friendly, and made us feel welcome on arrival. We will be back! read more

The best way to describe the hotel is cute, close to beach, yet very old. Everything is extremely dated, which was fine for me. It's a place to book based on location as you will not want be hanging out in the room. I would not be opposed to book here again however I would look around before I did book here again. read more

Not a bad hotel at all. The manager was nice and helpful.The room did look like it was in the 1970s but at least it was clean. I would stay here again considering that the rooms were clean and that the hotel was priced decently. read more

The Sea Spray Inn, billed as "The Best Island Getaway," located in Vero Beach lives up to its name. We stayed one night there and it was sweet. The room was a fully equpped mini efficiency apartment and was spacious and comfortable, We got a good nights sleep on their comfortable beds. And the owners were incredibly helpful to us. We loved our stay at the Sea Spray Inn in Vero Beach FL and would highly recommend it to anyone traveliing in Vero Beach for pleasure or on business. read more

Anyone will be pleased with this Inn! The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. The grounds are quaint and beautifully landscaped! We smelled plumeria on the way up to our room/apt. The rooms are clean, comfortable, roomy and have all the amenities. And LOCATION, location, location! You are just a short step from South Beach. Beautiful, wide beach, popular for surfing. Was just wonderful all around and we will be back! read more

Worst place I've ever stayed. Room was trash, falling apart, a/c didn't work, was only in one room so you had to freeze the room to get the other room cool, which you couldn't do because it didn't work right! Rudest owners I've ever come across. Threw us out late at night with two small children because I left the room to get something out of my car and we were in a supposed dog friendly room, I have two tiny dogs, like 6 pounds each. Like they are going to harm anything! So the policy is you have to stay with your dogs or take them with you- all I did was go to the car for a minute! So these rude owners put us out with a 5 and 1 year old later at night with nowhere to go! Then tried to keep all of our money! Beware this greedy place and terrible rude owners! read more

This was an absolute gem!!!! The hotel staff was very welcoming and helpful. I made my reservation over the phone with one of the owners, Leslie, who was very accommodating and empathetic to my hesitancy of booking online (Prices were fluctuating by the site and I was leery of plugging in my credit card info since the final price was unclear). Upon arrival, I was amazed at the CLOSE proximity to the beach. The gentleman who was working at the front desk was friendly and lively, he sent us on our way with a very helpful map of dinning establishments in Vero. When we got to our room, I was blown away!! It was a cozy place with a cute beach vibe. The room was clean and had a refrigerator, stove and sink. It was only my boyfriend and I staying there but the couch was a sofa sleeper which would enable the room to comfortably accommodate as many as 4 adults. There is nothing overly fancy about this place, which is exactly what I was looking for. We were able to walk to and from the beach a couple times a day. The location was very central and was within walking distance to almost everywhere we wanted to go. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back the next trip I take to FL. read more

Had a lovely 2 nights stay in late May. Quiet, peaceful, spacious room, management could not have been nicer or more helpful. Homey, comfortable and a terrific value. Highly recommended! read more
