We stayed at the Drop Anchor for four nights in April, and we wish we could have stayed a couple more. This is a pleasant and peaceful place, whether you are sitting on the beach, at the pool, or in your rooms. The rooms were uniquely decorated and very clean. Even though there were no vacancies during the time we were there, we often felt as though there were only a few guests, as it was so quiet and restful.

Though it was our first trip to the Drop Anchor, we met several people who were repeat guests, which we plan to become.

The owners have created a beautiful and great place to give their customers a wonderful and relaxing vacation spot.

We just got back from the Drop Anchor Resort in Islamorada, FL and had a wonderful stay. Upon arrival, the owners greeted us and were very helpful, they continued to be accommodating and helpful for our entire 5 day stay, helping us with directions and places of interest. We stayed in room #2, ocean level and were not disappointed. The room was decorated wonderfully and classy, and fully equipped with everything - right down to a blender to make drinks! We enjoyed the well maintained property and the pool - we especially loved all of the hammocks. The resort is conveniently located to a lot of the major bars and restaurants in Islamorada, we didnt drive more than 3 miles either way for dinner or fun. We took walks to local resorts and marinas and had a wonderful time getting to know the locals at Whale Harbor. There is a Tiki Bar right down the road and a bar open till 4am within walking distance of the Drop Anchor!

There weren’t many downfalls - the walls to the rooms were a bit thin, and you could hear a lot of the hustle and bustle of the maids and it is on the ocean side, so you have to go elsewhere to see the sunsets, but it was well worth it!

We absolutely loved our time spent at the Drop Anchor and highly recommend it to any travelers! We look forward to our stay next year!

I am not so enthusiastic about this place as other reviewers. The location is fine and the outdoor area is immaculately maintained with a good pool. hammocks, barbeques and plenty of seating and tables to eat at if you wish. It is in walking distance of a few bars and restaurants and we heard little traffic noise. However you do need to be prepared for very old and worn accomodation, poor bathrooms (only 1 small bath towel each- what is that about!), rooms only being cleaned every other day, having to fetch your own clean bath towels if you want them on non-maid days and not being able to swim in the sea directly from the property. I would also have liked to see a bit more of our hosts, particularly when I rose early one morning to find a couple sleeping in the hammock with blankets and beer bottles strewn around - hmmm!

Cute and convenient little resort priced right for two families on a budget with 5 kids total. We enjoyed using the grill and kitchen and eating at the picnic table for dinner. We all enjoyed the hammocks and chairs and watched the birds feast in the evening when the tide was low. The kids were able to do some fishing and had fun swimming. I would recomomend to friends and family and return in the future. Very clean and comfortable rooms with tasteful decorations.
