We stayed in the Grouper Room. It was clean and exactly as described. It's only a small little studio style room, but that was all we needed. This area is a cutesy little gem, but not at all a typical "tourist" attraction. If that is what you are coming for, you will be disappointed. Boating and fishing is HUGE here. We did not do either, but we ate at local seafood places every day and were blown away at how delicious everything is! We were especially impressed with Miceli's, at the beginning of Malatcha. The Perfect Cup is where to go for breakfast in the morning. We did a bunch of different things while in the area, including a day spent at Sanibel Island, kayaking at Manatee Bay in Fort Meyers, visiting a wildlife refuge/sanctuary (Octagon Wildlife Sanctuary) in Punta Gorda, walking around Matlacha and visiting all the different shops, and of course, relaxing on the deck.
Back to the little room, the patio/deck in the back is absolutely wonderful. We watched the sunset from there almost every day and did not tire of it once.
I might make some recommendations, as to things we wish we had either thought of to bring or wish were there. That being said, I would GLADLY stay here again without any of these things. But the owners can either take these as recommendations of things to put, or potential renters can take it as things we wish we had while we were there.
-Portable speaker (bluetooth)
-Binoculars (to see the fish/dolphins!)
-Cards or board games (there isn't much to do at night without them)
-Citronella candles or tiki torches (the no-see-ums are fierce!)
-Lights in the water for nighttime (to see the fish!) You can hear them jumping in the water, but it's too dark to see.
-a small fire pit for the patio
Again, not having these things doesn't mean I don't recommend staying here or wouldn't stay here again. Overall, the place was perfect!
