What a perfect place to stay in older, but nicely remodeled, keys style hotel
Pros:

The property is comprised of a few separate buildings with most of the rooms oceanfront. It has great facilities including a boat ramp and dock with direct ocean access. There is also a pool with large tiki hut for dining, and huge open area with palapas and Adirondack chairs for sitting oceanfront. They have bikes, kayaks and games around the large open spaces. Our room was really well sized, clean and very comfortable with an oceanfront balcony, king bed and full kitchen.

The best part is the people that work there, they are some of the kindest and most helpful people you hope to find, but seldom do. A special shout out to Donna! What a wonderful lady; helpful, kind and always a huge smile. Really, everyone was great.

Pros:

This was a great place to stay - convenient location on the water, walking distance to a few restaurants, and nice old Florida feel (in a good way). Not the place to stay if you are looking for something super fancy, but I enjoyed it and don't agree at all with several recent negative reviews.

Retro Charm at Its Best
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at the Drop Anchor! This place is full of charm and personality. The retro décor is so fun, colorful, and unique—it has such a cool old Florida Keys vibe that made our stay even more memorable. The view from our balcony was beautiful, check-in was quick and easy, and the staff was so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Cons:

All good!

Pros:

Everything was good. Just one, the boat ramp is not very good. Water level is low near the property. So if you are coming with your boat better to use ramp on Founders park what is close to the hotel.

We very much enjoyed our stay there and would return.
Pros:

The location is phenomenal. The view from the grounds is to die for- all sand, palm trees, turquoise water, warm breezes, comfy chairs and a pool. The building is painted in tropical bright colors and decorated with fish and other objects. Definitely a very relaxing cool vibe.

Cons:

Some outside areas around the back and side need cleaning and refurbishing. It takes away from the beauty of the place.
