Anchorage Resort and Yacht Club

The Resort and Its Setting

Anchorage Resort and Yacht Club is an independent, waterfront property in Key Largo, right on the Overseas Highway that runs the length of the Keys. Guest reviews (4.2 out of 5 from 283 ratings on Google) describe airy suites with full kitchens, an outdoor pool, and a marina that puts the water at your doorstep rather than somewhere you drive to. It's a lodging property first and foremost, built for owners who want a base on the water rather than a resort full of organised activities.

Key Largo and What's Around It

Key Largo markets itself as the gateway to the Florida Keys, and that's exactly what it offers: easy access to reef diving, fishing charters and the kind of laid-back island routine the Keys are known for. John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, about 3 miles away, is the headline draw — glass-bottom boat tours, snorkelling and diving on genuine coral reef. Closer still, Key Largo Undersea Park (roughly 1 mile away) offers its own underwater exploring. Families often add Dolphin Cove for lagoon encounters with dolphins and rays, or the Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center for something quieter and educational. Further afield, Everglades National Park is a longer day trip but a genuinely different landscape — sawgrass, airboats and wildlife rather than reef and ocean.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Anchorage Resort and Yacht Club and are thinking of parting with it, or renting it out instead, BidMyTimeshare.com is a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — sellers pay a single, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers, nothing more.

Because Anchorage Resort and Yacht Club is independently run rather than part of a branded chain, any resale transfer goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort directly for two figures: the current transfer fee for moving the deed or membership into a new owner's name, and the current annual maintenance fee, since these vary by resort and aren't something we can quote here without confirmation. It's also worth asking whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales, which some independent resorts do — if so, the resort may have a window to match an offer before your sale to an outside buyer can close. A resale buyer typically receives the ownership interest and the usage rights tied to the unit and week, but not necessarily any points, credits or affiliations the previous owner may have held with external exchange programmes — again, confirm this directly with the resort before listing or buying.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters coming to Anchorage Resort and Yacht Club are usually after the same things: a kitchen so they're not eating out every meal, a quiet marina setting, and quick access to the reef. If you're renting out your week rather than selling it, be clear in your listing about unit size, view, and what's included — that's what gets questions answered quickly through the platform's messaging.

For timing, shoulder season (April–May or September–November) tends to bring steadier weather and fewer crowds than peak winter months, which is worth mentioning to prospective renters. Summer brings the Keys' typical afternoon thunderstorms, so factor that into availability expectations if you're marketing a summer week.
