Close to restaurants

On the main road - be sure to get one of the units in the back. Bed was comfortable. Needs a better chair to sit on and could use a little sprucing up on the back deck, but overall good value.

Beautiful waterfront place in a quaint little colorful town.

We had a great stay at this beautiful property. Quaint little colorful town with plenty of restaurants and cute litte shops. Right on the water with kayaks and plenty of fishing supplies. Nice fire pit to relax or fish by. We had such a great time we are coming back for mother's day with my son and his wife.

Matlacha great too short vacation

The property was great, well equipped, clean, with a beautiful view of the water. The bed was so comfy, I even asked what was the brand. We left to spend a day in the rat race around Key West, but should have enjoyed another relaxing calming day here!

Restful stay in Matlacha

Fully enjoyed our stay. The pros include the apartment was cosy and cute, well organized (get one facing the water), loved the kayaking, great restaurants all within walking distance, great view, good laundry facilities, Sharon was very friendly and helpful. Only two negatives, the walls are not sound proof, we could hear loud early risers on a couple of days. Other negative, watch out for the no-see-ums at dusk, we got bit the first night when sitting by the dock and bug spray didn’t help, wear jeans. Walking into the restaurants in shorts in the evening was fine - it was just near the water that they come out.

The Best View

We had a fantastic time in Matlacha while staying at Serenity Cottages. Our facilities were exactly as we had hoped. We had everything we needed to make our visit comfortable and relaxing.... The view onto the water is absolutely beautiful. Sharon is a good host. It's clear she works hard to ensure her guests have a pleasant stay. I will return to Matlacha soon and will again stay at Serenity Cottages.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Ihlefeld

Host profile image
Living in Bokeelia Florida, with my husband and 7 year old daughter. Graduated from Chiropractic school in 1998, planning to license in Florida and find a way to incorporate my Chiropractic expertise to Serenity Bay sometime in the future.

Why they chose this property

It was my parents property, they purchased it in 2001. I had been running it for my Dad since my Mom passed away in 2009. There are too many family memories here for me to let it go. I feel my Mom with me when I'm at Serenity Bay. Plus I love Dolphins!

What makes this property unique

Quiet sanctuary in a unique area of Florida that remains lost in time. Slow, peaceful pace here. Nature all around, friendly faces. Awesome fishing! Little to no boat traffic off sea-wall. No people staring back at your from other properties, just water and mangroves as far as the eye can see. That means you will see a lot more wildlife here.
