Finding an ideal quaint inn in Mexico Beach does not have to be difficult. Welcome to Driftwood Inn, a nice option for travelers to relax and unwind on the beautiful Gulf Coast of Florida. The Driftwood Inn is a quaint Inn offering beach front rooms with private balconies overlooking the ocean. Each room has a full or partial kitchen, with a coffee maker, toaster and microwave. If you choose to stay connected, enjoy the free wifi. Otherwise, find pure relaxation under the gazebo swings, or down on the white sandy beaches. We also offer a large events room that can hosts 110 people for your wedding or business event. If you’re looking for dinner, consider a visit to Killer Seafood or Mango Marley's which is not far from The Driftwood Inn. And, we are only a short distance from Port St Joe, which offers many options for dining, shopping and groceries. But in a pinch, visit our small market on site, where you can grab a water, soda or snack to tie you over. The Driftwood Inn is a family-owned and operated business. We look forward to welcoming you on your next visit to Mexico Beach.
I recently had the pleasure of having my bachelorette weekend at The Driftwood. It was a perfect weekend from start to finish. It is so fresh, new, and clean and the staff could not have been more accommodating!! From the second I got there I felt relaxed and well taken care of. The rooms we stayed in had full kitchens (stocked with cups and dishes), Keurig machine (AWESOME TOUCH), kitchen table, and plenty of room. The beds are unbelievably comfortable, bathrooms are nice and big (we had 10 girls getting ready in two suites with no problems!!) We always had fresh towels, the rooms are huge, and the view is unmatched. I loved the ocean view and being able to enjoy it from our private balcony that came with chairs. I’ve stayed at plenty of places at the beach but none compare to the brand new Driftwood Inn. I can’t way to go back!! Highly recommend if you are looking for a family friendly good time place to stay at an amazing beach!

Completely new construction after Hurricane Michael. Rooms are very nice, all with balconies facing the Gulf. More importantly, the staff is amazing and have raised the bar on “Southern hospitality”. They went out of their way to provide our three family groups with two adjoining rooms and one only one door down, all on the same floor. One of our rooms was a suite, which had plenty of room to be the central gathering area, made even better with an adjoining room. Beach access was easy, and they even provided beach towels. We highly recommend.

The Driftwood Inn is truly a gem! The location and easy access to the beach cant be beat. We traveled with young children and older parents and the rooms suited both extremely well. We loved watching pelicans and dolphins from our balcony - which are not only great for enjoying a peaceful morning coffee but were large enough to enjoy meals for a family of four. The rooms were welll equipped and the beds were super comfortable. The staff was amazing and super friendly! We cant wait to go back! Highly recommend!

My Family has stayed here twice since the reopening. It is gorgeous, charming and in a perfect location. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, very clean and have lots of nice amenities. Our room had a Kitchen and private balcony, great for enjoying that first morning cup of coffee. The private boardwalk to the beach, outdoor showers and charming swings make a perfect beach vacation. The staff was delightful and very accommodating. Oh and did i mention the VIEWS!!! SPECTACULAR!! Will be back for sure!!

My girlfriends and I spent several days at The Driftwood last week and had a wonderful time. The room, bath and balcony were all very spacious and very clean. We never felt crowded. We enjoyed the balcony and the gorgeous views of beach and sunsets; and of course time in the swings. I highly recommend this beautiful place to staff with staff so accommodating and friendly. You will never regret it. Congrats to the Wood family on such a great job. I hope to be back again in the fall

Our wedding was on the beach, but the reception was at the Driftwood. Communication was superb as well as the staff. They were on hand to assist and make our event the best possible! The room was fantastic and the view was amazing! Dancing the night away to such a gorgeous sunset was the best! If you are having an event, I would strongly recommend having it at the Driftwood.

The Driftwood Inn is BEAUTIFULLY DONE with a gorgeous ocean view from every room with a balcony and ceiling to floor windows. The bathroom is spacious and a lovely shower. We had a microwave and a stove with the basic cookware. The bed was comfortable and everything was squeaky clean! Service was great and everyone was nice and friendly! The SWINGS are back! 🌴🐚 This treasured place is still growing as they plan to replace more things like the great little wedding chapel and the lovely sandy lawn with palm trees and bird houses will be landscaped more with beautiful grass and gathering spots. The OCEAN in Mexico Beach sparkles and beckons you to PLAY!

The Driftwood 2.0 that just opened is BEAUTIFUL!! It’s still got all of the charm of being family-owned, but it has improved in every aspect, even having an event space now if you’re interested. Nothing like the white sand beaches of Mexico Beach, FL!!!
