Overall a very good experience! Management was very pleasant and nice. Only suggestion would be to put folding camo-like chairs in the room for use on the back deck facing the marsh. Would stay here again.

We had a great time at the Sea Drift! It's clean, comfortable and so close to the beach. I stayed with two teenagers and the location to the pier area is perfect. The beach is also perfect, not too busy and is only a 2 minute walk. The room we stayed in had a kitchen which was handy and made it easy to pack lunches for the beach. Great trip!

Cute, family friendly motel.
Clean room and friendly staff. The location was a small walk from the beach which was convenient and hassle-free. It is also within walking distance to little shops and the pier. I can’t wait to stay here again with my family.

Great place to stay. Kitchenette had everything we needed to be able to cook meals. Place was clean and spacious. Pool was great. Missy the owner was so lovely and super sweet and shared her knowledge of the area. Highly recommend! Wish it was a bit closer to all the action. Hard to believe Ubers or lyfts are not more popular in OOB. There were times that we just didn't want to walk.
