From the reviews
We got married on the beach at The Driftwood Inn in March and held our reception in the nautical event hall, Brandy and her staff were so helpful and accommodating not only to us but also to our guests!
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.
A great place to stay! The Driftwood is an all beachfront hotel that has some great amenities. With a full size refrigerator, toaster and coffee maker you have everything you need to make sure you can drink your morning coffee while watching the waves.
Very clean and extremely relaxing! The key fob for the room entry is up to date and secure. Rooms have fridge, microwave, glasses and cups. I loved the old Driftwood but the new still has character, beautiful artwork, right on the beach with the worlds best sunset. I love the bird sanctuary on the beach.
Getting married at Driftwood Inn
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
