Our stay was wonderful. Joe was great before we got there as far as restaurants, music etc. We trailered our boat and the docking option was wonderful. The hot tub was fantastic, both when we got off the boat and again at night. Walking distance to blue dog restaurant. Food was great we went twice. Definitely will go back

All that was advertised!

Our first time staying on Matlacha, and we couldn't have picked a better house. It was very clean and up to date, with multiple amenities...hot tub, outdoor fireplace, several out door seating areas, outdoor shower. Joe is an excellent host.

Island Paradise

Joe was a wonderful welcoming host even calling half way through our stay to see if everything was going good. He made it just as comfortable as staying at a friend’s house. He gave great recommendations on restaurants, activities and local fishing holes. Always prompt with responses. His house is beautiful and very clean with everything you could possibly want or need. The town of Matlacha is beautiful and the townspeople are so welcoming. A small town old world feel on a beautiful island. We will definitely be back.

Great canal front!

We enjoyed our vacation in this house! Matlacha is such a great little community and all the neighbors made us feel right at home! The house was well-decorated, clean and organized. Joe was a great host and gave us a run down of everything that was available, upon our arrival. Great internet access and plenty of TVs. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook or grill, it even has a rice cooker and crock pot. We took a fishing charter with Captain Bill Russell (fishpineisland.com) and the next door neighbor took us out on his Tiki Boat (captainjackboattours.com). There was great food nearby as well. Plenty of amazing water front restaurants and shops nearby. In the evening we enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and watching dolphins in the canal. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Nostalgia

I grew up on this island, and it holds a place in my soul. All the good times with friends, and my grandparents when they were with us. I’m happy to see things coming back after hurricane Ian. Joes place is inviting, comfortable and with water at your back door. I was able to bring my boat, and leave to explore as easy as starting .my car..Sunsets on Matlacha are second to no other place I’ve been. Joe was a great host, calling daily to see if there was anything I needed. Really nothing was needed. The home was very accommodating in itself. I will be back soon. This time I won’t back my boat onto your lawn Joe. Didn’t realize it was going to take the whole front yard and into the street. I know next time. Thanks again for allowing me to stay in your beautiful home .

Excellent birthday trip for my wife and friends

The property manager stayed in touch qith us and made sure we were happy. The place was great, cool when it needed to be and open when it was necessary. Four adults fit comfortably without being in each other’s way. The hot tub was fun too. Beautiful nights under the stars. Being located right next door to Captain Jacks tour boats was a huge plus. And very convenient Would definitely rebook this location in the future

So quiet and relaxing

We rang in the New Year here with one other couple. It was perfect for a long weekend. Joe has thought of everything. The house is very well stocked and comfortable. What you see in the pictures is what you get. We loved the screen porch and the hot tub. Sitting beside the water is so peaceful. We slept like babies. It’s so quiet. We also enjoyed a cruise around Matlacha with Captain Jack next door. Well worth the trip.
