Our stay at Drop Anchor was truly memorable! The small, tranquil resort offered the perfect escape from the chaos of daily life. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed for our family, though a couple of design quirks made navigating between them a bit tricky. The staff, especially Zach, went above and beyond to ensure we felt safe and welcomed during our stay. With direct beach access and tons of activities like kayaking, it was a fantastic getaway for our family!

I had a wonderful time at Drop Anchor! The stunning views from my room and the access to kayaks and paddleboards really made the stay enjoyable. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. However, the family suite I initially booked was outdated and not what I expected, leading to a bit of a mix-up during the stay, which took away from my experience at times.

I had a fantastic experience at this hotel, where everything felt well thought out for a great stay. The location right by the beach made it easy to relax and enjoy the scenery. Rooms were cozy and clean, highlighting the attention to detail from management. While there was plenty to enjoy, I did find the dining options a bit limited which was a small drawback. Overall, the value for the amenities offered was impressive and made my stay worthwhile.

I felt right at home during my stay, thanks to the incredibly accommodating staff and the immaculate hotel grounds. The location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions. However, my room was a bit quirky; the trailer setup was interesting but not very spacious, and the fridge had some issues. Overall, it’s a great place with wonderful amenities and value.

I stayed in a unique trailer that had a queen bed and a single bed, which was definitely different from a traditional room. The setup was funky, but the ceiling felt a little low and the fridge leaked, which was annoying. Still, it was comfortable enough for my beachy stay.
