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.

Clean, welcoming and a great...

Liked: The location of the motel was very good with the beach, restaurants and the trolley bus stop just a short walk away. The retro theme inside the rooms was also delightful!
Disliked: No major problems. The only slight issue was our toilet which periodically kept filling the cistern. It wasn’t a particular problem, just maybe a little noisy when trying to sleep.

Liked: The hotel was beautiful. It had old Florida vibes. It was well kept. It may need a few upgrades like painting but it was perfect for us. It was so cute and charming. The Pool was nice, it could have been a little cooler. It almost felt like it was heated. The beach is one block away. The Beach facility is closed but you can still access the beach. There's also John's Pass right up the road which I highly recommend! The room has a microwave and fridge. We enjoyed it all. The staff was great. It was just a great experience overall.

Liked: The price was great, the location was great, the room smelled very clean on entry. We received updated communication on when our room would be ready and we could check in early!
Disliked: A couple things I reported i.e. burnt out light bulb, but really not an issue.
