About this property

House with large overwater deck on Gulf canal in Matlacha

Welcome to Matlacha waterfront. Enjoy watching the sunrise or a star-filled sky from the giant deck over the water. This 1-bedroom half of a duplex house is perfect for an individual or a couple to visit Matlacha. Guests will find a peaceful retreat featuring a bedroom with a queen bed and sofa bed in the living room. The kitchen is well stocked to cook meals at home, but restaurants are very close by. Walk to the art galleries, restaurants and bars of Matlacha or relax on the dock on your own "Island time". Folding beach chairs and beach towels are provided for day trips to the local beaches. AARP discount available. I sometimes have more availability than shown on the calendar. Message if you have special requests or questions about the place.


There is a slip with a floating launch for a kayak or wave runner/jet ski. There is also a slip open for a boat under 18'. We have a large driveway so most of the time a boat trailer can be parked during your stay if you trailer your fishing boat. Check with me in advance and verify space is available and the length of the trailer.
