We loved staying at the Sea Drift Motel, the owner Missey was extremely friendly and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Very clean rooms and the property was very well maintained. We are returning next year. We want to make it a destination every year. It’s a 5 star for us.

Love the location, front of the motel you have the city and the sea, in the back you have the marshland and birds singing all the time. Feels you were in 2 different vacations but you paid for only one. 😍

Check in was super smooth and the woman who checked us in was the sweetest! Our room was clean and comfortable but it could use some updates. Charming, nonetheless. Train runs behind the building a few times overnight but it's not awful. Just be prepared. Overall a nice overnight trip.

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!

Can’t say enough good things about this place! The owner was just lovely, the rooms were updated and comfortable, and just a stones throw from the beach. Can’t wait to go back!!
