Driftwood Inn - A Gulf-front retreat with private balconies, kitchenettes, and a peaceful garden setting
Situated alongside the Gulf of Mexico with direct beach access via a private boardwalk, Driftwood Inn provides a beachfront experience with a personal touch. The family-owned property, rebuilt after Hurricane Michael, features air-conditioned rooms that include kitchenettes, private balconies, and views of the water. Each room contains a microwave, refrigerator, and TV, with free WiFi available throughout the premises. The on-site garden and terrace offer outdoor seating, while a beachside fire pit provides an evening gathering spot. The lobby houses a jewelry and art shop, and a small chapel sits outside the main building. The nautical event hall accommodates weddings and receptions, as seen with a March wedding held on the beach and celebrated in the hall. Driftwood Inn is located a few steps from Mexico Beach and 28 km from Tyndall Air Force Base, with Big Time Charters 4 km away and Gulf County Tourist Dev 16 km from the property. The surrounding area includes Port St. Joe for dining and Apalachicola for day trips, as noted by guests. Free private parking is available on site, and pets are welcome at this beachfront inn.
