My husband and I had a wonderful stay. Though not at house much due to wanting to see many State and the Everglades National Park, which were close by, the home provided all we needed. I did make breakfast each morning and found the stove and microwave easy to use. The king bed was very comfortable and the house was stocked with just what we needed. If you are a couple and need a place to stay, this is the place for you. We enjoyed walking the neighborhood and please treat yourself to a meal at the Havana Cafe.
Great place! We stayed three nights while visiting Everglades National Park. We liked the cleanliness and location as well as the ability to make meals and even did some laundry
Perfect place to stay in Chokoloskee. Everything was clean. Bed was comfortable. We were there visiting friends and it was nice to have our own space to relax.
This home was absolutely perfect they thought of everything. The home had an amazing fenced in yard that made it so convenient to let our dogs out. So clean and in the perfect location.
Great stay on the island over the Christmas holidays. Quiet spot to explore the Evergaldes, get a boat tour or go fishing. Fenced yard was great for bringing the dog.

Everglades trip
Had a few glitches. The code given on the reservation was incorrect. Called owner but before she called back we found the correct code. Absolutely love this little home. It was myself, my adult granddaughter and my dog. The place was clean, very important. Location for us was perfect. I tried to contact the owner as we were not given any instructions regarding what to do when we leave so I stripped the bed and made sure everything was as it was when we arrived. I’d definitely stay there again.
Perfect find for anyone who wants to get away from it all.
What a perfect place for a couple. True old fashioned Florida style home. It’s like a really large studio apartment. Lots of room in the driveway for our kayak trailer. Ingenious cubbyhole furniture for organizing any supplies. Kitchen is a bit sparse in cookware, but we always plan for that so it was no consequence. Small screened in porch and it worked perfectly for us. We were there for four days and didn’t come close to exploring all the area has to offer. The skeeters were fierce and we had also planned on that. I feel like we got a great deal for the price we paid. We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.
Stayed 4 nights, great location in Chokoloskee. Place exceeded my expectations. Its set up to cool meals, sleep, and park a boat out front. Makes a great fishing headquarters.
This was my second visit to the area so chose this place for it's location. The home was in a great location. Building a new three story home across the street but construction noise was not bad. Home could use a new mattress and larger TV. No extra garbage bags or paper towels were left and Keurig coffee maker was old. Coffee pot would have been better. Back screened porch was very peaceful although the furniture was very dirty. I brought my own fold out chairs so we used those. Awesome old tree in backyard. All in All for what we went down there for, to unplug it was adequate and priced right.
Great little base for exploring the northern Everglades area
Had a very good time staying in Chokoloskee, and the Fin and Fun was the perfect place to return after a day of paddling and fishing. Teri and Tim are very friendly and responsive. The place was clean, plenty of room for my wife and I to organize gear, prepare meals, and hang out after a day in the sun. I really liked that we were out of the tourist fray, but with only a block walk to Smallwood Store for amazing sunsets, and another block to a funky and very good local restaurant.
The property was lovely, clean, had everything advertised. There could have been instructions on things like expanding the couches to a bed (we never figured it out), the keurig, how to light the gas stove, and especially the location of the nearby local supermarket. We really wanted to support the local community. The tv is very small and difficult to see from anywhere in the room. It was Superbowl Sunday so that was a bit disappointing. Thankfully we didn't spend much time in the room watching tv. Bring your own blankets as they 're not supplied The sheets were very soft and the towels a good size. The backyard and screened porch were very nice. Do not forget your bugspray as the mosquitoes are the size of a small bird. HavAnnas restaurant just down the road was delicious. Whether dinner, dessert or coffee~we tried all~ you need to stop in. And your pup will be welcome. Don't miss the swamp buggy ride at Wootens. It was even better than the airboat ride. The tram ride in Everglades National Park was worth the 1/2 hr wait to get in. Fin and Fun is the perfect spot for your visit. The host has made Fin and Fun a great place to stay. Close to all the places you want to see while visiting the Everglades and nice and comfy to unwind after a day of roaming.

We love sharing our experiences living and fishing the Everglades area. We have lived on Chokoloskee Island for 15 years and have lots of 'stories' and info to help our guests get the most from their vacation. Our residence is located on the same street as this cottage and therefore we are readily available for guidance or additional info.
