This was the cutest little hotel. Rooms were updated and even my kids mentioned they loved the comforters and pillows on the beds ! We had the pool to ourselves almost every time we used it which was a lot. The only disappointing things were we thought there was an actual breach there and that the kayaks were free but they're $25 for the day. We took them out to the sandbar one afternoon, very nice. Very low key place, quiet, plenty of room to sit by the water. Peaceful. Highly recommend!

Super cute grounds....

A fisherman's dream..Private ramp to put your boat in the water and you can dock it right in the water along the wall.Super cute play area at the pool for both adults and children.They have giant chess,checkers,connect 4. Room was small,but very very clean. If expecting luxury this is not for you,but if you just want a clean place to lay your head after fishing and boating all day you will love it!

We loved Drop Anchor. It was a nice little stay for us & was all we needed. The small private beach & pool area was fantastic & we will definitely consider coming back here in the future.

Boat ramp additional charge

Overall, it was a very cute place to stay. Just a couple of things to note: room 14B was just too tiny...the bathroom/shower is not very comfortable and I'm very petite myself. The boat ramp cost is another $25, which is pretty high, especially when you are staying there. Based on that, I will probably stay somewhere else next time but if you don't need the boat ramp and get a different room, it's probably great!

Tara, Thank you so much for your feedback, it is appreciated. You're right, 14B is a smaller room. We do our best to reflect the size in the pricing and will continue to do our best with it. We have some guests that do bring boats and some who do not. It an effort to be fair with pricing for those who do not bring a boat, we only charge our guests who do. We try to keep our pricing very fair and competitive for the area. Thank you again for the feedback, it helps to let us know the areas that we can improve on. We sincerely hope you will visit us again in the future. Sincerely, Front Desk, Cliff

Great Value

Room with kitchen over looking the ocean. Didn’t catch any fish and had to use the kitchen to cook chicken lol. Boat ramp is small however, it works. Just make sure to load and unload during high tide. Also, limited paring for trailers.

Family weekend vacation

Great spot in Islamorada! This was our first time staying here and we will be back. Nice pool, hammocks, right on the Atlantic Ocean. Full kitchen in our room, only down fall was no pots/pans/silverware/glassware provided due to COVID. Understandable, just wish we would have been made aware of this when I made the reservation so we would have brought our kitchen stuff.

Great little find

Our stay was great, room was large and clean, property was beautiful. Lawn games, kayaks, paddle boards, pool, amazing views. A few comments though...I received an email on the morning of check in stating that office hours are until 10 pm and to call before then if you expect to be checking in late. A little after 9pm we were still on our way and running late because of bad weather. I called and the recording said that office hours were until 9pm. So we were a nervous wreck hoping we could get into our room. When we arrived our keys were waiting in the late check in box thank goodness. Also, we had our Do Not Disturb sign up the next day and came back to find that our towels had been replaced. Otherwise we really enjoyed this hidden charm.

I loved how close to the water it is. I loved that even though there were no vacancies at the hotel, I felt completely isolated & relaxed. I loved how helpful the staff was, especially Zac, who runs the place. He went above & beyond! I loved how clean everything was, especially considering that we stayed there just a week after the Keys opened up to tourism, due to the COVID-19 outbreak. I don't like that there's nothing to complain about.

Our family has been going to the Keys for many years but we found Drop Anchor a few years ago. We will be staying there from now on. This trip there was an issue with the A/C but the Manager Zack handled it with excellent professionalism. At the risk of making it harder to get a room here I highly recommend this location.

I arrived at Drop Anchor a day early as pandemic concerns interrupted my travel plans. The property manager was exceptionally friendly and welcoming and found a way to accommodate my early arrival...and early departure. I will definitely stay here again and wish Zach and his staff the best during these chaotic times.

Good Afternoon Robin, Thank you for the wonderful review. Tammy Front Desk

3/5 Okay

Room way too small. Construction directly in front of room

The bathroom was so tiny, I could not sit straight on the toilet. I am not a large woman! The bathroom door had no handle inside, just small mounting holes from a broken pull. No fan. We dubbed it The bathroom of doom. There was not even enough space to put down a toothbrush. The mini-fridge was so cheap it moved when we opened the door. The bed was pushed into an alcove so narrow that it didn't allow you to walk beside the bed on one side, and the left side- one had to work sideways to get into bed. The handicap parking was the most distant spot from the room. There's a trailer park next door where the sheriff was posted for a couple hours, rocker lights glaring. At 8:30 in the morning a tree pruning crew came in directly on the lawn in front of our cell. They were all smoking cigarettes, and the smoke wafted in to our cell. The volume of noise was shattering. We were on vacation and wanted to relax. It was wayyy over priced for the DUMP it was. We felt robbed.

Clean and comfortable king suite with a beautiful ocean view. The bathroom and kitchen were outdated but we didn’t care. The place was spotless and the view of the ocean was breathtaking! The only thing we didn’t like was that people were smoking very closely to our room and at the beach area :(

We loved Drop Anchor. We paid for the oceanview suite and it was fantastic. View ,Bed,Kitchen was perfect. Area by ocean front was very comfortable and relaxing. Zach and Sadie were so friendly and lots of fun. He gave us many ideas for eating and was spot on, Tammy we just met on the last day but she too was nice and helpful. We will stay there again in a heartbeat.
