Stayed at The Beach House at Drifting Sands for 2 nights. The room was nice, beds and pillows were comfortable. The Kitchenette was also good although we didn’t have to use anything. However the drapes were awful. Panels were short and not enough leaving wide gaps allowing light to come through and having no privacy. Getting to the beach was easy and quick. Great location.

The room was clean and comfortable. The mini fridge, microwave and table with 2 chairs are good accommodations to have a casual meal or snack and avoid the need to eat out. The staff was friendly and helpful. I received an upgrade to my room on the day I checked in since it was off season and there were open rooms. Definitely recommend this place for a relaxing stay so close to the beach.

Great place to stay

This was a wonderful resort to stay in. Easy access to the beach and the room was great. The water pressure was surprisingly good which really helped get the sand and sunscreen off. There is so much in walking distance too which helped a ton.

Only problem was the air conditioner is at bed level and not more than 2 feet from bed. So if it was turned off it made the other side of the room hot. If left on, closest bed was frozen

Travelocity charged me more than the hotel. I have the receipt to prove it. The place was a dump. Mold under bathroom tile. The room smelled bad. Air conditioner was very loud. No designated smoking area as described in ad. I was very disappointed in this hotel/motel.

Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious, big enough for the family to enjoy without being on top of each other. The walk to the beach was probably my favorite part, it made our weekend so much simpler!
