Easy, right at the beach, nice balcony’s facing the ocean — perfect for a few nights and way walking distance to restaurants, mini golf ice cream etc. good value for the price point.
Great location, Beach House At Drifting Sands building was functional and clean and basically on the beach itself. Not a ton of amenities within the room, if you were looking for a.more resort-like experience, but if you want easy access to the lovely LBI beach and a good location to get anywhere on LBI, this place is good. Staff was friendly, rooms are kept clean, nice hang out area outside the lobby, etc.
The room pictured was not like what we had although clean it wasn’t stocked with conditioner or body wash. We had a view of a wall and not of ocean however it was convenient and clean. I would stay here again.
staff was wonderful to deal with. location is great as the beach is steps away. room was ok for a couple nights, floors were stained pretty good and our ac unit was very loud. if you're just looking for a couple days and close to the beach, this is the spot
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 dated, but expected from a busy beach front location.
Parking was easy, as was check in. Very nice greeting and helpful front desk.
Centrally located. When I arrived, there was a slight issue with my room. The people at the front desk were very helpful and corrected the issue immediately. The room was very clean..
Although the rooms are a little dated, they were clean and comfortable. The staff is great and took care of our needs. We would definitely recommend a stay here
Our room was not ready at check in time. They had us in the building across the street from the main hotel - the view was a parking lot. First room was filthy sand all over the floor/ broken lamp/bathroom had hair and hair ties from the last guest/ really unacceptable. They moved us to another room that was a bit cleaner. Staff was nice enough but no manager on site. Evie and Lowell were awesome and tried their best. Management should do better.
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.
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!

Very friendly staff. Excellent early check in and access to beach badges so you can enjoy your day before the room is ready and they let you use your beach badges after checking out until 3pm. Two beach days for the price of one night.
I really liked it. 1 minute walk to the beach. Quiet at night. Comfortable beds.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The hotel property was very nice. It had great parking and it was super convenient to go to the beach that said the room was super dated and really in desperate need of renovation. Also, the staff accidentally charged us twice for the room which felt unprofessional and deceptive. It definitely left a bad feeling upon departure.
