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.

I'm not sure why the property gets only 3.8 rating. I was pleasantly surprised by the way the room looked. Yes the building is old but it has been updated. If you want a nit pic the drains were slow, the door was drafty and the pillows were lumpy and hard.

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.

Great place to stay

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.

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.

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.
