Calm, clean, and charming

Out stay was very nice. Everything was clean, bed was comfortable, communication was quick. There are some good local options for eating out, and the Publix is a short drive. Highly recommended.

Waterfront Delight

We loved our cozy apartment on the water--saw lots of fish jumping and also a dolphin while sitting out on the deck. Being within walking distance cof the shops and restaurants was a real plus. Also we were off the main road so it was very peaceful😉

Just what we needed.

This cheerful, tidy studio was just what we needed. The deck on the canal, just a few steps out our door, was the perfect place to see palm-tree-silhouetted sunsets. There were several good restaurants within walking distance. On Christmas Eve, the streets were all lined with luminaria for a magical effect. Property Manager Charity was very welcoming and friendly and I have no doubt that if we had needed anything, even on Christmas Day, she would have been right on it. We took the canoe out for a paddle all the way around the island, which took about two hours. It was a glorious way to spend Christmas. It's nice that the boats are available. There are numerous nature preserves within short driving distance and we were able to find a different place to hike and birdwatch every day.

Charming and Cozy

The Redfish Room is a charming and cozy little studio with a delightful screened in porch attached. The deck provides a lovely place to sit and relax. It is within walking distance of everything in Matlacha. It is small so it pays to travel light and the Wi-Fi is not very reliable so it pays to spend your time outdoors instead of on your computer.

Centrally Located to Travel the Area

Very nice and cozy, Marcus was always available to answer any questions that we had. We enjoyed sitting on the dock and casting fishing lines while also tanning. Property is within walking distance to restaurants, shops, and ice cream parlor. It is also a short drive to Bookelia in Pine Island were we took a boat charter to Cabbage Key and were lucky enough to see dolphins following the boat and plying with the boat's wake. Would stay again if we returned to the area.

We enjoyed our stay in the redfish room.

We had a nice visit , beautiful view from the deck and really loved those rocking recliners. We would definitely come back again. A few suggestions would be to fix the screens in the red fish room... Mosquitoes and no-see ums were a problem that week ...and maybe an outlet in the bathroom would be great!

Why they chose this property

The time seems to stand still in called "Small Key West", the cute fishing village is THE insider-tip for Florida-vacationers. Away from any kind of trouble or hustle, everybody appears to be serene and content - "island time" by silent agreement!
