What was to be a two night stay in Panama City Beach, became a five night, and eventually nine nights.
We liked the Driftwood Lodge that much!! The price was right. Our room was just 50 yards from the Gulf of Mexico with chairs, loungers, and picnic tables right outside the door, along with a mini fridge, and microwave.
The price, at $55 a night most of the time was on the mark as well. Of course, it is considerably higher come summer, but this was off season.
The pool was heated to 80 degrees and there was a hot tub next door at the Osprey Motel, also owned by the same family. Speaking of family, the Driftwood has been owned by the same family for over 50 years with the second generation running it today.
The only drawback was the lack of a good wifi signal. They have it, but you have to be up by the office to really get good reception. We could just barely get it out in front of our room, and even then, on a few occasions, I lost a lengthy blog entry which didn't make my day. There was no reception at all in the room.
We got to know our neighbors, the couple from Indiana and the one from Ohio. They'd both been there since the beginning of January and were staying to the end of the month. Lots of other friendly people staying at the Driftwood as well, many coming back many times over the years.
