This inn is about 35 km from Page Field airport and 2.6 km from such cultural venues as the Sanibel Public Library. The Lighthouse Beach Park lies a 10-minute drive from the smoke-free hotel.

The Sanibel Causeway can also be found 2.7 km from the Driftwood Inn.

Eat & Drink

You may walk 6 minutes to Blue Coyote Supper Club or eat by Sandollar Kitchen & Bar, located a 12-minute walk away.

“This inn strikes me as a particularly charming choice for families or small groups seeking a relaxed getaway. The villas are appointed with simple, natural furnishings, and the patios-hammocks included-invite easygoing relaxation. Its location a short distance from both dining and the beaches of Sanibel suggests convenience without sacrificing a sense of escape.”
