The Driftin' Sands Motel is a modest, pleasant motel typical of motels before pricey chains took over the market. It provides the basics travelers can appreciate.

TripAdvisor review
This is a small little motel with no thrills BUT, it is very clean and quiet. You are right across the street from the ocean. Bed was comfortable. Overall a really nice place!

Very pleasant experience for the price. A short walk across the street to the beach and everything was clean. Would definitely go again.
