Drift Hotel was a very nice place, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again. The hotel was a nice, small and quiet - it is also in a convenient location for those traveling to and from the Keys. We only spent one night here along our route, but I can easily see staying here for days. We also spent 2 nights in Marathon but if we get to make this trip again, we will stay a few more nights here instead. The staff was the best - friendly, helpful and just plain nice. We spent an hour on the dock just watching a couple fishing, others were on the shore on the large swing "beds". They were large enough for a couple people easily. Loved everything about our stay.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Drift Hotel and were bummed we arrived late and had to leave early. We would have stayed ALL week there! The property was adorable, the quirky, humorous information/rules/reminders were fun, the room was VRBO-ish, not hotel-ish, the front desk was great, the view on the water was wonderful. 11/10 would totally recommend. Everything was clean, quiet, fabulous!
