The Driftwood resort was a pleasant surprise for us as this was our first time there. We will be back :)

I have stayed here many times. Love that there is beach access, even though it was too cold to go in the water. Always a wonderful view of the ocean, even if it’s a cloudy day or perhaps a bit light rainy. Motel can’t change the weather.

The Driftwood Resort is an absolute gem. The property is beautiful and the staff is excellent. The gentleman that checked us in couldn’t have been nicer. All of the staff and the restaurant onsite were outstanding as well. What a great vacationing place.

We loved the view from our room, the 4 story building has a very unique layout. Staff very friendly and welcoming and polite. Dining outside at Waldo’s made our evening. Wish we could have stayed longer.🙂

Extremely dated but in a fun and kitschy way. Staff was incredibly laid back and kind. Very much an old beach resort vibe.

i didn't know what to expect when we arrived but once we entered the room we were surprised at how nice it was in the room and around the property. They have two pools - one by the restaurant and one for families that want quiet time.

I loved the beach front room we upgraded to for a small price. I had never stayed beach front and the sound of the waves and our balcony was better than going out! The stairs became a bit much after a while but hey, I'm young enough to climb them so not much of a dislike.
