Our spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottages are thoughtfully designed to accommodate couples, families, and groups looking for a true home away from home.

A pull-out sofa bed provides additional sleeping space, making our cottages ideal for families and extended stays.

Beyond your cottage, you'll discover one of Driftwood Inn's most treasured features—our peaceful tropical grounds. The property's lush garden courtyard is filled with swaying palms, colorful landscaping, and shady spots to relax and reconnect with nature. Guests often gather outdoors to enjoy the island breeze, while our fruit trees provide a unique touch of Old Florida charm. When in season, guests are welcome to pick and enjoy fresh fruit right from the property.


As a pet-friendly inn, we know that vacations are better when the whole family can come along—including your four-legged companions. Our welcoming atmosphere, spacious accommodations, and convenient location make Driftwood Inn a favorite for guests returning year after year.


Unlike larger resorts, Driftwood Inn offers a more personal experience. As a family-owned property, we take pride in helping guests feel at home from the moment they arrive. Whether you're searching for the best shelling beach, a favorite local restaurant, or simply a quiet place to relax, we're here to help you experience Sanibel like a local.


Whether you're spending your days shelling along the shoreline, exploring island trails, enjoying breathtaking sunsets, or simply relaxing beneath the palms, Driftwood Inn provides the perfect place to slow down, unwind, and create lasting memories.
