Overall a very good experience! Management was very pleasant and nice. Only suggestion would be to put folding camo-like chairs in the room for use on the back deck facing the marsh. Would stay here again.

Great place to stay. Kitchenette had everything we needed to be able to cook meals. Place was clean and spacious. Pool was great. Missy the owner was so lovely and super sweet and shared her knowledge of the area. Highly recommend! Wish it was a bit closer to all the action. Hard to believe Ubers or lyfts are not more popular in OOB. There were times that we just didn't want to walk.

We had a great time at the Sea Drift! It's clean, comfortable and so close to the beach. I stayed with two teenagers and the location to the pier area is perfect. The beach is also perfect, not too busy and is only a 2 minute walk. The room we stayed in had a kitchen which was handy and made it easy to pack lunches for the beach. Great trip!

The property is really outdated, but it was clean. The shower is crazy small and old, the toilet moved when we sat on it, the bathroom light comes on after a delay and flickering for a couple seconds, the bathroom door hinge was broken so you had to lift the door to close it, and a train shakes the building every time it passes right outside, which we counted 8 times that night. lol Honestly, it was kind of hilarious how bad it was for the price; we wouldn't stay here again, but we did have fun at old orchard beach, and would visit the area again.

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
