C'est un motel très vieux mais très propre et très bien situé en face de la plage. Nous avions une chambre avec cuisinette qui était tout a fait fonctionnelle. La personne a l'accueil était très à l'écoute de nos besoins.

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.

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.
