This is my second time coming to the Drifting Sands. I choose to stay here because they're dog friendly, reasonably priced, and right on the beach! If you book an oceanfront room, you can enjoy the waves from the balcony or even from inside your room - perfect if the weather isn't ideal for hanging out on the beach.

We had a really nice weekend. The views from our ocean front room can not be topped! Got to watch the sunrise right from my bed. The walk to the beach was quick and easy.

I had a very nice stay. I loved how close the property was to the shore and how easy the hotel staff made it to park and get onto the beach. The rooms were clean and beautiful as well and watching the sunset from the balcony was great!

I love where on the beach the property is. Can wake up and walk right out to see the sunrise. Even though I traveled on a week where the weather wasn't ideal at the beginning of the week, it was still amazing.

We loved our stay! The hotel was super clean, the staff was kind, the walk to the beach was a breeze and I love that they have beach chairs and towels available for free with the beach tags!! The fact that it’s literally at the entrance to the island made it easy to drive to anywhere we wanted to go! We super enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!!

We stayed in the Oceanfront building on the third floor. Each room in this building has an ocean front balcony from which you could throw a stone and reach the beach. The view from our room was stunning. We awoke to a sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean every morning. What more could you want from a Jersey shore vacation. They also supply beach chairs, towels and beach passes. We will definitely be back.
