Our Story & Heritage

An Intimate Coastal Retreat Carved by Tide and Time

Nestled on the bluff above a sheltered tide basin, The Driftwood Cove was originally built in 1928 as a maritime poet's sanctuary. Carefully reimagined into a luxury four-suite bed and breakfast, we preserve the soul of timbered craftsmanship while offering refined modern comforts.

Wander down stone pathways lined with sea lavender and wild cypress directly onto our secluded crescent beach. Whether you are curled up by a stone fireplace listening to crashing waves, or sipping small-batch coastal roast on your deck, our inn provides an unhurried cadence found nowhere else.
