It’s a cute retro-style motel that is clean and has a nice dock and good seating for viewing the sunset or staring out into the gulf.

Beautiful quintessential old school Florida motel beautifully updated. The beach area had several types of areas to just relax whether in a hammock lounger or bed swing under a pawlopa.

Absolutely loved staying at Drift! The beach area was clean and beautiful. The water was clear and calm. My only minor complaints is there was no mini fridge and the shower was tiny. Would definitely stay again!
