There was a $75 charge for “resort” facilities,i.e., kayak and bicycle use, which I was told was non waivable, which as senior citizens we did not have any use for. Had it been a non refundable reservation we would have gone someplace else. Live and learn.

Old Florida vibe was adorable
We enjoyed our 1 night stay at Drop Anchor. It has an Old Florida vibe and is adorable small resort type motel. Loved the chairs under palapa with water view. No ice machine available - coffee in room only. Beds were comfortable and ac worked great.

The property was beautiful and well kept. The rooms were clean. The front desk staff, friendly and welcoming. There is a boat drop which is awesome and they are pet friendly.There is limited parking but there is grass area available to park when the lot is full. The only downfall to this place is the rooms retain moisture from the humidity, other than that this is a great little spot!

Expectations are key. We needed a place we could launch our boat on a holiday weekend so we braved the reviews and booked a room. Pros and Cons listed below. Long read but I think good reviews are super important: Property - they do an amazing job of the keeping the grounds cleaned and manicured. We were there 5 days and of those days the pool didn’t have water 1 or 2 of them. Not a biggie for us bc we had our boat. Boat launch is banked odd so it’s not for the inexperienced. There is a fresh water hose right at the launch that is fantastic bc you can immediately rinse your boat and trailer. There’s a shaded fish cleaning station right at the launch as well. The bulkhead is really nice and a safe place to leave your boat. The Room: we were in Unit #1 which had a queen bed and small kitchen. The room was very nice, comfortable bed and upgraded bathroom. Water in pressure was great with plenty of hot water but we heard from our next door neighbors they had no water pressure and little hot water. Our AC left SO much this be desired. For a room as small as it was the window unit, had it been updated it would have been great. Instead it never dropped below 71 and the bathroom was too hot to stay in for long. Our neighbors who had no water pressure were freezing their AC worked so well. So it appears the rooms are hit and miss and for what we paid per night we should have had an AC that cooled that small space.
