Friendly staff, we checked in early to have access to the kayaks and pool, and they prioritized the room and contacted us early to pick up the keys. Great location and close to our beach destination, Islamorada Sandbar. Highly recommended stay.

We were so lucky to find this little hidden gem in Islamorada. We needed a room for 1 night on our way back to Miami, but didn’t need all the frills. Drop Anchor was the perfect place for us.
