A mom-and-pop operation in the truest sense, the Driftwood Inn is a collection of funky rooms filled with homey, personal touches. With a small breakfast nook and cozy den on the ground floor, the inn has a communal feel that seems to encourage guests to stop and chat with one another. The inn is just uphill from the beach in a quiet area of town, within yards of a great bookstore and a popular bakery, making it ideal for those looking to relax and unwind. The rates are inexpensive, too, making it a great bargain for independent travelers looking for something unique.
