Room was very clean, had a small private outdoor seating area. Property was very nice, has a heated pool and sandy beach area right on the water. Plenty of chairs for guests to spread out, has a relaxing atmosphere. Staff is very friendly. Only con is that there is no food or drink on site, but there are several good restaurants nearby. I would definitely recommend, we would stay here again.

Great place to stay, relax and enjoy the keys! We stayed in room 3 and loved it! The beachfront patio was perfect for morning yoga and relaxing in our own space! The grounds were nice and we enjoyed the pool both days we were there. Cliff and Stephen were awesome in the office! We would stay again! Oceanfront room was key!! The island and the restaurants near by were also fantastic!

Stayed in ocean front with kitchen. Very nice. Property was nice. 50s vibe. Great view. Got new towels daily. Friends stayed in smaller rooms which are modest. Some very modest. Protect yourself from those rooms by spending a little more if space and views are important.

Excellent. Super huge room with ocean view. I recommended.

Great little spot to stay! Rooms we designed well and align with the boutique hotel design feel you'd want to experience in the Keys. Thoughtful small touches everywhere such as salt scrub on the bathroom vanity for your use. Kitchen was great to have. "Beach" area was set up nice for relaxing and was very quiet and peaceful. Staff was very friendly.

The walls in our room need painting. I saw some hair on the walls in the bathroom like it wasn’t clean properly! Also the bathroom door needs painting!

Great spot. Quiet with pretty water view. Convenient location. Small, older "Mom & Pop" place.

The location and amenities were good but the room was a let down. The bedding was clean but the bed was broken. There was mold in the ac unit. The bathroom shower head holder and the exhaust were broken. The metal on the hammock had been eroded by sea air and broke on me. If you have allergies, do not stay here.

Beautiful place to stay, perfect for what we needed. Only wish there was a better place to swim in the ocean on the property.

I loved this cute little place! It was small and not too busy! We mostly had the pool to ourselves and the view of the ocean was wonderful!! The only thing is that’s it’s close to the highway so the traffic was a little loud at times but overall loved this place and would recommend to friends and would stay again! It was really hard to leave!!

Nice location on the waterfront and friendly staff.

The property has a beautiful area with palm trees overlooking the ocean.

We loved the retro style of the resort. The unit was clean and roomy. The grounds were beautiful. Loved watching the boats come and go.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay at Drop Anchor.
