It's been a decade since I have been to the Windjammer, but after my stay it feels like I never stopped going. It's been a tradition in my family to go once a year for a week during the summer when I was a kid from 3 years old to 23. Now I am 33, with kids of my own... And I'm so back! It's just like I remembered, the rooms have been updated a little, new countertops in the suites and a bigger fridge, new couch and new beds. All welcome changes. Some minor issues like a very small trace of mold above the shower head. But aside from that the room was clean, and comfortable for what it is! I loved my stay, the staff, the guests, everyone was a joy to be around and food at the windjammer is always a hit for me! I'll be back next year!

Joe at Windjammer is great

the hotel was great. the pool was really nice. they have a restaurant that is opened 8am to 7pm. the only negative i can say is we got a table at the restaurant for late breakfast and the service was very slow. otherwise, the experience was a great one.

Comfortable, family friendly lodging

I absolutely love this property. My family and I have stayed several times now and the ownership is a class act. My only constructive criticism would be that a bit more attention be paid to the cleanliness of the room. In this instance we found a used condom under the futon, as well as items under the bed. I feel horrible even having to say this because I have such high regard for ownership but I think it's important that they know for improvement sakes. Other than that I would recommend the windjammer to anyone looking to visit Seaside.

It is inexpensive, but bare bones. Best part- close to the beach and boardwalk. No shower cap, no shampoo, no hair dryer. Rusted mini frig in the room next to huge stain on the floor. Lobby door is locked at 9 pm in the colder months, so need to check in before then or ring a bell and wait.

Love the Windjammer!

Love this place! We come every year and have never been disappointed. The Windjammer is not the Ritz, but the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the pool is awesome and we have never ever felt unsafe! We will continue to come back every year as long as the management stays the same. This place is a great value and we love it!
