Perfect boutique style hotel

This hotel is a real gem. Location is ideal, right on the water with a pool and very comfortable spots to take in the breathtaking views of the ocean. You truly feel like you are off the grid at this very tranquil spot. The staff is extremely kind, and they even let you borrow kayaks to explore.

I have stayed at drop anchor inn several times and will keep going back. It’s so typical of what the Florida Keys has to offer. I just love it there. I live in Fort Lauderdale and going down to the Keyes is the perfect getaway. I highly recommend drop anchor Inn.

On the third night of our 3-night stay and wishing we could stay forever! We splurged on a direct ocean front room and it is worth every penny. This place is by no means fancy but it is old Florida at its finest: cozy, chill, unpretentious. Add in a heated pool and a drip (not pod!!) coffeemaker and all boxes have been checked. As with most of the upper keys there is no true walkout sandy beach but you can use the kayak ramp to get in an ocean swim. Note mucky bottom so mann up or wear swim shoes! Received lovely service from Daniel at front desk and housekeeper could not have been kinder. DROP ANCHOR IS A GEM

Beautiful view, spacious, clean rooms. Only stayed 2 nights as we were visiting family so we did not use the pool or resort activities offered but we will definitely be adding this property to our list for future stays!

Air conditioners are fully of mold, blowing directly into your face in bed. I refused to let me family stay there. Checked out as fast as I checked in. Still have not received a refund from Expedia or the property for the resort and pet fee.
