Sifting Sands exceeded all of my expectations and was one of the highlights of our trip. The room was spacious, cutely decorated, clean, and the kitchenette was perfect. The location could not be more ideal, especially with how reasonably priced our stay was. It’s so nice to have a “home base” so close to the boardwalk and beach. This is our new go to spot for future trips!

The property was very close to the beach, which was great for a senior citizen two blocks away. The beach was beautiful. The hotel was nice. The room was a little small, but it was nice for a few days. I would definitely go back again.
