Driftwood Inn

We were there for 6 weeks and were treated like family. I cannot recommend place enough. Heide is amazing, the owners were welcoming, housekeeping helpful. The white sugary beaches beautiful, the water Absolutely phenomenal, and the sunsets were painted by angels. The rooms and suites are extremely comfortable, balconies spacious and private. They even have a little store and gift shop!

My son and I stayed a few nights at The Driftwood Inn during a sailing trip through the gulf this week (@Heidi, Shawna, Tom and Peggy, we made it home safely)! The rooms were beautiful and very clean. We made use of the outdoor grills and had a wonderful time. It’s not like staying at a hotel, though—it’s more like visiting your aunt and uncle with a really big beach house! The owners and staff were so warm and friendly that we didn’t want to leave. The owners and staff gave us numerous restaurant and seafood market suggestions that we could sail to, and even drove us to a couple of places we could not reach by boat. One of the staff even helped us shove off on our last day. I cannot say enough nice things about the Driftwood Inn and all the people we met there. The beach was gorgeous and active but not crowded. Mexico Beach and the Driftwood Inn are a great destination for family vacations or a quick getaway. We will be back, thank you all!

Driftwood Inn is the place where dreams come true! This is a brand new hotel owned and operated by the Woods family. For 50 years, the Woods have raised their children, grandchildren, and now great grandchildren in Mexico Beach and at the Driftwood Inn. The original Driftwood Inn was a must-see, must stay beautiful Victorian style inn. The landscaping would take your mind back to romantic peacful memories with the lavish and exotic tropical flowers and plants everywhere. Water fountains, wind chimes, birdhouses, and wooden swings kept you in paradise. The front yard is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, facing the Gulf of Mexicos, breathtaking sunsets. Mother nature destroyed the old Inn on October 10, 2018. But she couldn't destroy the Woods family and their stewardship to the community of Mexico Beach, Florida. The brand new Driftwood Inn is beautiful! If you're looking for a wedding venue, reunion location, or event location, look no further than the Driftwood Inn. The Woods have helped create lifelong memories for 50 years, and the family tradition is alive and ready for another 50 years.

Beautiful new hotel, right on the water. I’ve been going to Mexico Beach my whole life, and it’s such a joy to see it coming back to life after the Hurricane. The staff was friendly and helpful. The price is very reasonable considering it’s a new facility and right on the water. I particularly appreciated the time and effort they put into the comfort items, from the playground in the back that my grandson enjoyed, to the swings on the back pavilion, and the ability to have chairs and an umbrella set up for us before we went down to the shore. 10/10- will most definitely be back again!
