The Spotlight on Sea Jay Motel and Marina

Beachside Comfort with a Musical Twist in St. Pete Beach

Modern, laid-back, and just a few sandy steps from Treasure Island, Sea Jay Motel and Marina is a relaxed Florida getaway perfectly placed for concert-goers. With its tropical garden setting, outdoor pool, and easy access to local live music spots, this affordable hideaway offers both comfort and convenience. Whether you’re heading to a big show at Tropicana Field or exploring the boardwalk at nearby John's Pass, you’ll love the motel’s casual vibe and coastal charm.

Why Concert-goers love it

This spot is just over 8 miles from Tropicana Field, making it a great choice for fans heading to see a show. After the music winds down, you'll appreciate the quiet, residential setting—ideal for winding down. The free private parking is a bonus if you're driving in from out of town, and Treasure Island’s bars and late-night bites are a short walk away. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM, so there’s plenty of time to settle in before an evening event.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for affordable fun near the beach and venues
- Solo travelers checking an artist off their list
- Couples planning a music-filled beach weekend
- Fans needing a low-key place to recharge post-show
- Budget-conscious travelers who still want style and location

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, many rooms come with kitchenettes or fridges to stash snacks or prep a quick bite. There are BBQ facilities for casual grilling, and a wide variety of walkable restaurants nearby. Plus, late-night eats at John's Pass Village are just a short drive or bike ride away. Coffee machines in every room mean your morning caffeine fix is covered, even after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

You’re a few blocks from beach bars and local taverns offering live music and cocktails. For a true night out, head to the lively scene at John's Pass or the downtown St. Pete area. Prefer something chill? The motel’s garden terrace is a great place to relax under the stars.

What People Say

Travelers rave about the location near the beach and John's Pass, and love the clean, updated rooms and relaxed vibe. Many say the staff are welcoming and the atmosphere feels more like a beach house than a traditional hotel. The pool and outdoor lounge areas are often highlighted as perfect for unwinding before or after a concert.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the lack of daily housekeeping and wish the rooms were refreshed more often during longer stays. Also, while the vibe is peaceful, there’s no on-site nightlife or dining, so you’ll need to explore nearby for full evening entertainment.

The Bottom Line

With its beachy charm, solid amenities, and easy access to concert venues, Sea Jay Motel and Marina is a laid-back, budget-friendly home base for music lovers in St. Pete Beach.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Susan Thu, 24 July 2025

Until General Management changes..We won’t...

Liked: Convince, Great Pool, Room was clean and cute.
Disliked: Pool closes at 8pm and opens at 9am. When asked why they changed the hours of the pool. As they were listed different on the website at booking Was snapped at by Joey the General Manager stating “I don’t have to open the pool at all! How about that” Joey the General Management was only friendly at times. Many snide comments made to several guests. He was the talk of the pool due to his rudeness by every guest in the pool daily. He opened the pool one morning at 9 and a guest had been waiting to take a swim before making their long trek home and when the guest asked if he could swim quick the GM Joey snapped and said “The sign says 9 O’Clock is when the pool opens!” So the guest finally was happy that they opened the pool at 9am only to be told..”You can’t swim now. We need to add our chemicals and you have to wait at least 30 minutes!”We had major problems with the water being shut off for 3.5 hours when told it would be about 1/2 hour. After asking Joey what is his plan was now as the plumbers left us for 2 hours (apparently to get parts) and nobody could use the bathrooms,shower etc. he simply stated “Things happen!” “What Plan?” So he had zero plan for his guests. He didn’t care. When the plumbers returnedI as a guest of the hotel asked the plumbers what’s happening,how much longer they didn’t have a clue so one of the workers called the owner of the plumbing company so all the guests 15-20 people.. could get an answer on when we could shower and go to the bathroom! It was ridiculous! They did it in the late morning early afternoon hours! A board with nails sticking out was left for hours and overnight like pictured below in a walkway where kids were walking and playing. The Maintenance Guy was spectacular! He was so helpful and was busting his butt in the heat.. fixing steps after a terrible fall, (It was reported) The cone was placed after the fall… Doors weren’t working and wouldn’t lock.. he jumped right in to fix it. He was all over it immediately!

Overall it was an enjoyable...

Liked: The location it was a short walk from the beach
Disliked: Housekeeping never came to our room. The 2 trash cans provided were small and overfilled by day 2. We had also got pizza delivered and it was sitting in our room for 3 days since we had nowhere else to throw it away. When I mentioned that house keeping perhaps skipped our room he said that they come by at 10AM. We stayed there for 3 days and not once did housekeeping come. The blankets provided were towel-like and a bit irritating on the skin. Wifi was poor.
