Accessibility Statement

Last updated: May 7, 2026

Sea Oats Motel is committed to ensuring that our website and our property are accessible to all guests, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive experience that meets or exceeds the standards established by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and recognized accessibility guidelines.

Our Commitment

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the international standard for digital accessibility. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments.

Website Accessibility

We work to make our website accessible by:

  • Providing meaningful alternative text for images
  • Ensuring sufficient color contrast for readable text
  • Supporting keyboard navigation throughout the site
  • Using semantic HTML to support assistive technologies such as screen readers
  • Providing clear, descriptive page titles and heading structures
  • Designing forms and interactive elements that are accessible to assistive technology

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. While we work to ensure our website is accessible to all users, we acknowledge that some content may not yet fully meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. We are continuously working to improve.

On-Property Accessibility

Sea Oats Motel offers accessible accommodations and amenities to support guests with disabilities. Specific accessibility features vary by room and area of the property. To learn about specific features or to request an accessible room, please contact us directly before booking.

Service animals as defined by the ADA are welcome on the property in accordance with federal law.

Third-Party Content

Our website integrates with third-party services, including our booking platform (Mews) and embedded content from external sources. While we work with vendors who prioritize accessibility, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of all third-party content. If you encounter accessibility issues with these services, please let us know and we will work to assist you directly.
