First and foremost, the staff here are wonderful and the property is beautiful. We have stayed 2x so far and it won't be our last! Great location, clean rooms, very comfy beds and nice views. I can't comment on the pool because both times we stayed was out of season. But it's a straight shot to the beach and OOB is a short walk. The location is perfect. Only downside is the train that comes by. But honestly, if you're doing it right you will be so dead tired you won't care. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
