Loved the view at the back of the property....spent a lot of time back there....The bathroom shower needed a little bit more water pressure, No soap dish and the drain cover was loose...other than that I really enjoyed the stay there and will be going back again

Room 14b was small but very clean and bed was so comfy! I wish the Expedia website was clearer about the pet policy. Front desk clerk said I could bring my small dog if I stayed in one of the specified rooms (14b is one). I boarded by dog for nothing! I'll be back and stay longer next time.

My new favorite place to stay !! As a florida local coming to the keys os a home away from home and drop anchor was more than that ! From the lovely lady at the front who made us feel so welcomed and went above and beyond to help, to the property itself. You can see the ocean from the pool and a 5 min walk to hog heaven which is the spot to go for late night drinks. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great time. I will be back sooner now since I found such a gem like drop anchor. Thank you for everything!!

Excellent hidden gem
This was an unexpected gem of a place! It’s hard to know what you’ll get with some of the smaller resorts but based on the reviews we decided to give this one a go the view from the room is 100%. Beautiful view, private deck with Adirondack chairs, a hammock, close to the pool that was open 24 hours. The colors of the buildings and cool architectural details added to the mid century charm. The room was big, clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and the location was great. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely
Our stay was lovely. Easy access to pool and the view was fantastic. Drawback that no one in the office in the evenings when we had an ant infestation around our headboard. Had to run to Publix to get a spray. We found broken glass on our deck and had to wait until morning to get a broom. Little things.

Hello James, Thank you for the review. Although, I'm not sure what chairs you feel we are missing. Our outdoor furniture ranges from in the pool area, to along the beach, to the patios for the rooms. Also, we do not have a 50 charge for cleaning per night. We do not charge anything at all for cleaning. Since covid, we do a daily service when requested for any of our guests... just let us know when you need us and we are there. With a 4/5 score, it looks like you had a good stay, we apologize for any confusion. Thank you

Overall it was a good stay, office was great customer service wise as well as quick to fulfill requests. The resort was a bit more dated than we expected and second room was way too small to move around. We had a very dated bathroom and it was hard to maneuver. It was overall clean but we did see two bugs in kitchen after the initial night didn’t see any after. It’s a beautiful view but you can’t get in the water- it’s more for boats and jet skis.
