Great stay. Missie at the front desk is very sweet & considerate. Double room had plenty of space and everything was clean. Right across from the beach and walkable to the pier. Staff checked in on us for our second day to see if we needed anything. I’ll be back next year for sure

The Sea Drift shows it's age but in a good way. Old fashioned motel but clean and comfortable with a wonderful staff and close proximity to all Old Orchard Beach has to offer. Thank you Missy for a nice and welcoming stay.

This place takes me back. It's a vintage sweet slice of Americana pie. It's a time capsule, but not forgotten. It's convenient, clean, and run by a very friendly local family.

Cute, family friendly motel.
Clean room and friendly staff. The location was a small walk from the beach which was convenient and hassle-free. It is also within walking distance to little shops and the pier. I can’t wait to stay here again with my family.

We’ve stayed at quite a few different places in OOB and this one is our favorite. The kitchenette had everything we needed, pool was great, and it’s perfectly close to the beach and the pier. Looking forward to coming back next year!

Mediocre
Location was very clean. Bed and pillows made for an uncomfortable sleep. The entry door was in poor condition. You could see a visible gap. The pool area was very nice, well kept and very clean as well.
