Fishermans paradise

We had a very relaxing stay at the Tarpon suite, cute old Florida style room, very clean, comfy bed, nice view of the water. This was our first time in this area, so we had fun exploring. Maybe next time we will take out a kayak! Enjoyed our stay!

You should definitely take up kayaking for your next visit to this area. Matlacha is already beautiful on land but on the water, it is even more unique. Thank you for your review.

The Tarpon Suite is charming and we enjoyed our stay. Our only challenge was a problematic lock box. We came in after dark and luckily a neighbor helped us get into our unit. Matlacha is a hoot and the food at The Blue Dog was great!

Everything was great, except the yard maintenance guy running a leaf blower at 7:45 AM.

Great location. Nice amenities. Would definitely use again.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Aug 2023
Especially where there is a lot to do and possibly a little time pressure on the staff, the use of a leaf blower is a common tool. However, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you as a guest again!

Charming cottage in perfect location, clean, simple with lovely decoration. We enjoyed sitting on the porch facing water drinking coffee and listening to the birds. Perfect place for vacation, short or long. We are very grateful...

Fisherman’s Paradise…really!

We love this place. It was our second stay here. It’s a great location close to great fishing. They have kayaks to rent and you can hang outside on the common patio/deck when you get back. We plan on coming back to this well-appointed, clean and attractive little haven. Thank you for a wonderful two weeks!

Our Stay in Matlacha

It was perfect for my daughter and I. I admit we were out more than we were there. I was surprised at all the growth before and after Matlacha. The chairs on the deck were great for sunset watching.

Thank you for your kind words about our Fishermen's Paradise in Matlacha. We are glad that you were so enthusiastic. It makes us all the sadder that our Fishermen's Paradise no longer exists since Ian and will no longer exist as you have come to know it. But we are motivated to create something new.

Winter break from Vermont

Had never been to Matlacha or SW Florida. We really liked the neighborhood. Low key and fun. We had the entire complex to ourselves for several days, so the quiet was much appreciated. Pine island was lovely. Matlacha was centrally located for exploring both north and south.

Super Fun in Matlacha

Great location in Matlacha. Cute cottage just steps away from waterway on Piine Island. Outstanding sunsets every evening. Nice comfortable beds, very quiet, safe area. Great for couple. Enjoyed ferry out to Costa Cayo State Park, Tropic Star is about 20 minutes away on Pine Island. Grocery stores were very close. Enjoyed out stay. Thanks

The apartments of our Fishermen's Paradise are in fact rather more functional than our guests in Matlacha more than elsewhere spend a lot of time outside and the apartments are often used only as a place to sleep. We are happy that you had such a great time!

Bridge Construction

The only downside to our stay was the bridge construction. Traffic and noise started around 9AM. Other than that it is a great place to stay.

Our first aVisit to Matlacha

Loved our stay! Everything was as described. Quaint, quiet place with beautiful sunsets. We will return. We stayed in the Tarpon Suite and really enjoyed it. Very close proximity to restaurants and shops. Marco, Martina, Stephanie and Marlene were extremely responsive if we had a question... One suggestion would be to update the guide books for each room, and include a luggage rack for the Unit. Again, really enjoyed our stay here!

Thank you so much for your nice feedback and your comments and suggestions. Luggage racks are in part simply not feasible for reasons of space, as the accommodations of our Fishermen's Paradise are rather small and cozy. However, we are happy that you had a great time in Matlacha and we would be happy if you keep us and our rentals in mind!

Love Matlacha!

The area is clearly hurting having been hit with three recent hurricanes. We like this area because it is close to our son’s house. We also like that so many properties are on the water. We had beautiful sunsets each night of our stay and the dock had nice chairs for all of us to sit and watch. Would definitely stay here again. My only comment is the ceilings are low and I’m a bit claustrophobic so I was happy to sit outside most of the time. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner.

GREAT LOCATION!

With most everything in walking distance, other than a small grocery, this is a great place to unwind and relax and take it easy. Very clean and tidy. The only downside is that the other residents that came in near the last days were not very respectful of our privacy by sitting in front of our windows till late in the evening which made for noise and lack of privacy. Other than that it was a great stay.

It may be a disadvantage of the accommodations facing the water that there is also a common outdoor area with seating and the boat deck. In general, however, we can say that our guests are usually considerate of each other. Of course, we are sorry if some of you felt disturbed. However, we are pleased that you were able to spend a great time in Matlacha. Thanks for the feedback!
