We love the Drifting Sands. We have stayed here several time, and we will come back every time we visit LBI. The oceanfront rooms have beautiful views. They are clean and spacious. The office was very friendly and helpful. In fact, we left our camera in our room. We were called and the camera was sent back without a charge.... More

We've been staying at different places on the island for years now but didn't know about this one. We found it after staying two summers ago and made plans to stay last year. It was perfect for all of our needs! We wanted a place where we could cook our own meals and they had a very nice efficiency on... More

The thing is, I like this place. The people at check in are nice and it's right on the ocean. But... I'd asked for the room where we'd stayed before, which has a pretty ocean/tree view. When we got here last weekend we were given a "complimentary upgrade" to a really noisy room with a view of the ocean and... More

Our stay was a free night won at a travel show, so, not much to lose. Very pleasantly surprised that they booked us into a third floor ocean front room. Granted it was at the top of the stairs on the end and maybe (?) smaller than other rooms, but it suited us fine. The view of the beach and... More

The Drifting Sands has it all. Extremely friendly staff, clean rooms, awesome view for a great price.. Perfect location right on the beach and at the center of all long beach island has to offer. Wake up to the beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean. You cannot get any better than this. ajp.

Our family has stayed at this motel time and time again for one simple reason, it does not get any better than this at the Jersey Shore. I felt the need to post another review after reading some of the negative reviews posted. Let me begin by saying there is no way an ocean front room had an old TV... More

We happened upon the Drifting Sands and were pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the staff, the convenience and the affordable price. We were so satisfied that we returned a second time within one month and plan on many more visits. A great Find!!

We stayed here a week ago. We were recommended this motel by friends who lived in the area. However, they recommended it due to the location and had not seen the rooms. When I rang to book I was told that the rooms were all the same, the only difference in price was for the views:this is not true. We... More

The farthest part of the hotel is just a 60 second walk to the beach - no streets to cross or anything. I thought the room was adequate and don't really have any complaints. We went on a Sunday and Monday during high season but I would have thought that those nights would have been a little cheaper. Great beach... More
