The Driftwood Inn
Located right at the edge of the land, the Driftwood Inn is a plantation-house style beachside hotel in Mexico Beach. In addition to guest rooms, they also offer rental cottages and beach houses for extra privacy. The Driftwood Inn is a popular wedding and banquet destination. The grounds of the hotel are tropical, and the decor throughout the property is Victorian and elegant. Stroll through garden pathways, swing on the porch or nap in a hammock. On the coast, you can swim in the surf or kayak in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Buena Vista
Directly on the sandy shores of Mexico Beach, the Buena Vista literally translates into "good view" and very few views can match the tropical splendor of North Florida's Gulf Coast. The Buena Vista Motel is completely nonsmoking and every room has a microwave and mini fridge for guest use. Several restaurants are located in the vicinity, including Sharon's Breakfast Cafe, a local hot spot, at least in the mornings.
