Our two night stay at the Sea Shore Motel was perfect for our family of five. Our room had a bedroom, a pullout couch and a full kitchen and was very clean. The property is in within walking distance to Venice Beach and the Santa Monica Pier as well as many restaurants and shops.

We enjoyed our stay here; this super cute, quaint motel is right in the middle of everything. ( piers and beaches)They even let you use chairs and boogie boards at no cost. There's a wonderful bakery next door, Bread and Butter, that we went to daily. Would definitely stay here again. Traveled with my two girls 11 and 13.
