The hotel is beautiful and clean. The swings and rocking chairs were so relaxing. The beach was right outside your door with beautiful views. Beds were comfortable and ac was great. Balconies were large with a 4 seat table and 2 Adirondack chairs. It would be nice to have a bar and restaurant in the hotel.

Ocean and beach view was incredible. Very relaxing. Clean room and friendly staff.
The view from our balcony and easy access to such a beautiful beach made the whole experience! There's not many food options nearby, and they don't serve breakfast, but the room had a kitchen area for food storage and prep. They also have a lovely gazebo with swings and fire pits for grilling on the beach side. Plan accordingly and you won't regret your stay here!
The room was spacious and clean, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the balcony view of the ocean was great. My family loves our stay here and will definitely be back. I should add we are a family of 5 and the room we had was considered a handicap room, thus most likely why it was so spacious. I highly recommend this place.
My stay in driftwood was a great experience. My family and I were very pleased. It was very clean, great ocean view with balcony and staff was very friendly and helpful! Will be returning in the future.
This property far exceeded our expectations! We absolutely loved it! Such a beautiful beach and loved the surrounding area - our only issue was that we just had 1 night to spend. Hope to be back someday with more time to relax, explore and enjoy!
Absolutely one of the cleanest rooms ever. Oceanfront, beautiful! Staff super friendly:) Been going here for 24 years, and have never been disappointed:)
What a gem! We loved our stay at Driftwood Inn. Rooms are spacious and clean. Grounds are beautiful and we enjoyed all the Purple Martins that live there.We will be back.
We ended up staying at the Driftwood Inn for one night after our travel plans changed, and it turned out to be a great find.
The place has a really neat vibe to it. It’s beachy, laid back, artistic, and a little eclectic in the best way. Everywhere you look there are interesting details—from the artwork and gift shop to the handmade birdhouses for the purple martins. There are also plenty of places to just sit and relax, whether that’s on a swing, around a fire pit, or simply enjoying the beachfront setting.
Tristan was great to work with. We were looking for a room at the last minute, and he was friendly, helpful, and made everything easy.
What’s funny is that we’d noticed the Driftwood on a previous trip and thought it looked like a cool place. When we suddenly needed somewhere to stay, it was the first place that came to mind. We were fortunate enough to get a room, and it definitely lived up to our expectations.
We were only there for a night, but we’d absolutely stay again. It’s the kind of place that has personality and character, and it feels very different from a typical hotel. If you’re looking for a relaxed beach atmosphere right on the water, it’s worth checking out.
Absolutely beautiful place! Staff were very informative, friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back on a minimum annual basis and start making family vacations. Wife and I will make a annual alone trip as well.
