Welcome to the Driftwood
Echos of Bay St. Louis Past
The Driftwood Motel breathes new life into the forgotten motor court motel experience of yester-year. Long before I-10, historic Hwy 90 connected towns along the Gulf Coast back when local diners and seashell shops lined the route welcoming visitors.
The revitalized Driftwood Motel offers a journey back in time to the captivating retro charm of Bay St. Louis during the ‘60s and ‘70s.

Why stay with us
The Driftwood Motel embodies the authentic spirit of Bay St. Louis, a welcoming community where friendly greetings are the norm, and any local is willing to tell you about the town that helped raise them.
Bay St. Louis and Waveland offer some of the best beaches along the Mississippi Coast. Don’t forget to wake up early to catch the sunrise. It’s easy to drop a fishing line off the Jimmy Rutherford Fishing Pier or truly make it memorable with a local fishing charter.
Of course for that authentic South Mississippi experience, Waffle House #1003 is located just 2 blocks away. Smoking is prohibited inside all the rooms at the Driftwood Motel, but smokers are welcome at this Waffle House. Grab those Virginia Slims and go get smothered and covered.
