Driftwood Resort

Driftwood Resort is located at 657 South Atlantic Avenue in Ormond Beach, roughly midway along the city’s oceanfront motel and small resort corridor between the Granada Boulevard bridge and the southern edge of Ormond Beach near the Daytona Beach line. Census Bureau address-level geocoding confirms this location falls inside the incorporated City of Ormond Beach. Florida corporate records show several active entities registered under variations of the Driftwood Resort name in the state, consistent with the kind of small, independently held corporation that typically operates a single beachfront property rather than a national brand.

The name Driftwood fits a long tradition of Florida beach lodging naming conventions, evoking the weathered, low-key character that small independent motels along older coastal highways cultivated well before the resort-tower era reshaped much of the state’s beachfront. Ormond Beach in particular retained more of that lower-rise, motor-court character than nearby Daytona Beach, in part because of city planning decisions over the decades aimed at preserving the beachside district’s scale. Guests at this address are within a short walk of the public beach and close to the Ormond Beach Pier, with the city’s small downtown business district and the Casements, Rockefeller’s former winter home on the Halifax River, a short drive away across the Granada Boulevard bridge.

As a small, independently operated resort rather than a franchised hotel, Driftwood Resort likely handles bookings directly or through third-party travel sites, and prospective guests should call ahead to confirm current rates, room types, and any amenities such as a pool or shared outdoor space, since small properties do not always keep every detail current across every directory listing. The word “resort” in the name does not necessarily indicate large-scale amenities; along this stretch of Florida’s coast it has historically been used loosely by small, independently owned motels to describe any beachfront property with more than a handful of rooms.

Sunbiz records show multiple similarly named Florida corporations, which made it difficult to confirm with certainty which specific filing corresponds to this exact address, and no independently reachable website or Facebook page could be located during research to confirm current ownership details. What can be confirmed is the address itself, a genuine oceanfront location within Ormond Beach’s incorporated city limits, consistent across current directory listings for the area. Travelers interested in staying here should call the property directly to confirm current details before booking, as is generally advisable with any small, independently run motel or resort along this historic stretch of Florida’s A1A coastline.
