The Blue Seas Motel is located across the street from the ocean and offers beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. The kitchenette has a small refrigerator, stove top, microwave and tea kettle. Our only complaint is that the windows lacked any screens and the unit had no air conditioner or fans. We had to open the windows because it was very warm inside, and dozens of flying insects came into the room.
