After driving for 5 hours we need a place for the night and I stumble on this place. I have seen from the other reviews that they said they need to do some up grades to the rooms. And they do. Our room was OK and I have nothing to complain about. BUT other then that, this was an outstanding... More

Charming outside, needs some TLC inside. Beds creak and there's not much shelf space or counter space in the bathrooms. Overall comfortable but could be so much better with a little deep cleaning and updating of the bathrooms. Outside garden area is wonderful and very relaxing. Would recommend if you're looking for charm more than comfort.

If you are looking for a five star experience, forget it: However, if quaint and unique is what you seek, this Inn has all that and more. The duplex was tiny, but clean, the bed comfortable and kitchen was fairly well furnished. The sofa bed was actually a love seat half bed that was not at all comfortable. There is... More

My review will mirror many others who have posted. This is the coolest hotel, loaded with charm on the outside. But inside the rooms, sadly lacking. And it doesn't have to be this way! The positives were definitely the outside, especially in the back by the ocean. There are outside "rooms" to relax and visit with other guests, the landscaping... More

I wrote a review previously on this place, and since then, we had our wedding there! No it is not immaculate, it is almost a century old, and right on the water! We found it to be the perfect wedding location for us! We were able to house our whole wedding party for less than it would cost to have... More

Reading reviews of the Inn on this site almost deterred me from staying there. So glad I did not listen. I have stayed at many 5 star hotels, and this is not it, it is so so very much more special. Other reviewers pointed out rust on the refrigerator, mold in the bathroom, painting that needed to be done, etc.... More

We stayed in one of the Victorian houses. Everything was awesome the house was clean but not immaculate. I don't expect that at the beach. My family really enjoyed their stay. The rooms were large and they had plenty of kitchen supplies! It was a great place! Beautiful grounds!!

We stayed at the Driftwood about 10 years ago. Loved it. Been meaning to return ever since. We finally got the chance - and returned Oct 2012. Let's do the good first. The staff is still great - the gift shop is quaint - there is an eclectic feel to the place - cool, laid back, lots of greenery -... More

We were glad to find this spot after driving all day - thought the price of $150 was high for mid September, but hoped for some charm and hospitality. We got neither. As others have noted, the beach side is pleasant. Everything else is shabby. We couldn't open the windows for a breeze, so had to listen to loud air... More
