Always a pleasurable stay.

I have stayed here many times. Love that there is beach access, even though it was too cold to go in the water. Always a wonderful view of the ocean, even if it’s a cloudy day or perhaps a bit light rainy. Motel can’t change the weather.

What a great two day stay we enjoyed at the Driftwood Resort in Vero Beach, Florida.. We were very fortunate to have Kate as our concierge and special needs assistant. Kate was able to provide my wife and I with wonderful and extremely helpful accommodations. We are extremely grateful for her kindness and appreciate all of her willingness to provide us with the best stay possible. The room and amenities were just what we needed at the time. Needless to say, I highly recommend the Driftwood Resort and am thankful for Kate who went above and beyond the norm. Our kindest regards to all, and we look forward to visiting again in the near future.
