My husband and I came down to PCB for the weekend and had a fabulous stay at Driftwood Lodge. The location was great for us and our room had everything we could want and more. Every room amenity looked new including the AC and microwave. Having access to the sister property next door was nice as well. The staff was very welcoming and our room was spotless. We’ll be back!!

We lived our stay! We had our two youngest kids with us and it was a breeze with the location of our room. I love that there were additional towels provided for the pool area. Plenty of shade for the pool areas with an additional kiddie pool so that was very accommodating. I appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and the overall area. I would stay here again!

Right on beach. Close to restaurants. Balcony w view. A bit dated and parking is tight and right on busy road. lots of noise from traffic and car stereos partying etc but quiet once you get in to the room although kind of thin walls. Kitchenette was handy.

My family has been staying at the Driftwood for over 30 years. We love that it is small, family owned, and family friendly! I loved the bracelet room keys, very handy for being in the pool or on the beach a lot. Love the family activities! We stayed in the bungalow rooms this time and I love them! They are right next to the beach! Much quieter. All the staff is very friendly and welcoming! We actually left a few items in our room at checkout and they called to let us know probably 10 minutes later so we were able to come back and get the items! Wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else in PCB!!

I spent 7 nights there with my 16 year old daughter and loved it. The hotel is a little dated, but it’s on the beach has 2 pools, lounge chairs and picnic tables in front of the rooms. There are multiple charcoal grills for guests to use and the staff was amazing. It’s also only a 5 minute walk to Pier Park Mall! My only three wants would be, larger soap, shampoo, conditioner, a microwave from 2020’s and maybe free beach chairs and umbrellas.

My wife and I stayed here one night as we were just passing through. The room was very clean and comfortable, and our only regret is that we didn't get to stay longer. The view from the balcony was great and we enjoyed the direct beach access. Everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful. We hope we can visit again someday soon.
