If you like the typical sterile chain hotel experience, the Driftwood is not for you. If you want something ecletic, quirky, and plesantly different, then you should appreciate this unique "Inn". The driftwood sits right in the middle of Vero Beach. The rest of Vero Beach is "Old Money" conservative Florida. The Driftwood looks like it literally washed up in... More

Worst place ever. We could only stay a night out of our week long Vaction. The room was nasty and had fleas. Rm#105. When I went to check they did not even care or try to make it right. Stay away.

You get what you pay for. Old and moderately clean. Nice because there are suites with kitchens and a living room. If you want to stay on the beach but don't want to pay a lot of money, this is the place. Waldo's bar is fun.

This hotel is definitely one of a kind! Great location right on the beach. Our room had a delightful view of the ocean. I would not say it was the cleanest room I've ever had, but it wasn't dirty. The room had a lot of "stuff" everywhere like fake flower vases. It also had some very interesting nautical antique type... More

OK _ I went into this stay thinking the worst - it's 'eclectic', and 'unique' - and low and behold, that's correct - it's both of those things. Even worse, the place looks like it hasn't had a dollar invested in it in 35 years- that all to say we really enjoyed our stay. Yes, the rooms are right out... More

Went for one night with some girlfriends and had a blast. The hotel is right on the beach and there is a great outdoor bar. Across the street are fun stores and cafes. The rooms are different and the hotel is unique- made with driftwood. Super eclectic and cool!! Wld def recommend it!!

What do you call a hotel that is the equivalent to comfort food? We used to stay here many times in March when the LA Dodgers used to Spring Train in Vero Beach. We loved it here. Everyone one is very nice and accommodating (the front office staff are very helpful). The location is wonderful...right on the beach and many,... More

We stayed here for 2 weeks, end of Nov -beginning Dec 2010. Fortunately we had to change rooms after the first week. Week 1 - We were assigned to one of their "cottage" rooms that boasted a full kitchen. Well, that part was true, but the rest of the room was, at best, ok. Both bathrooms were in dire need... More

The Driftwood is like no other place we have ever stayed at, and we have been coming here for many years as guests. Waldo Sexton, the designer and original owner, has left his unique mark on this special place, from spiral staircases in some of the rooms to stained glass adorning many others, to boat parts and other oddities placed...

We booked at the Driftwood via RCI, our first time ever in using RCI. I called the Driftwood personally to talk about the room we thought we would be getting, before committing on the reservation web site. Only afterwards did we discover that we had been assigned a completely different room (113A, ten feet from the performance stage next to... More
