On Route 1, south of Dunstan Corner, the Pride Motel and Cottages are painted dark red with white trim and have pretty baskets of flowers hanging from the porches. The Motel is set sideways to the road and has a country atmosphere despite its location on the highway. Grass and old trees frame the site, which features 17 rooms distributed among a motel and cottages. The O'Reilly family has operated the Pride Motel since 1967. Today, Patrick and Sue O'Reilly welcome guests to their motel, which features amenities such as a heated outdoor pool, available from June to the beginning of September, a recreation room with a pool table, and laundry facilities.
Cottages also feature efficiency kitchens but have no telephones.
Room sizes vary, some accommodating no more than two people and others accommodating as many as six. The motel is open from April to November. In classic seaside resort style, the Inn by the Sea has sweeping green lawns, manicured flower beds and wonderful views of the Atlantic. In addition you'll find a private boardwalk entrance to Crescent Beach State Park with its salt marsh and curving stretch of sand. As a guest in the main house, you'll find rooms furnished in Chippendale cherry furniture, featuring kitchens and VCRs.
