We enjoyed our stay and loved the accommodations! The open floor plan was fantastic, the water views, kayaks, BBQ grills and large screened in lanai made our stay so nice! Highly recommend
We had a great time fishing, and the food is great in that town. We hope to do it again soon
Its very nice and comfortable but couldn't get the air to work right in the day time but when the sun went down very nice,hope we can come back.very comfortable place
We loved this place very much. Beautifully renovated with everything well equipped. Great location! We can recommend it to everyone. It provides great relaxation.
Our first stay in Matlacha was amazing! This house was super cute and clean. We enjoyed the screen in back porch and the hot tub was a nice touch. Our favorite part was easy access in and out with our boat and the beautiful sunrise views over the water. Can’t wait to come back!
We enjoyed our stay here. Nice location in a quite neighborhood. The home is very nicely updated. The owner stopped by to say "hi" and was very friendly. Enjoyed the kayaks and being literally right on the water. We would definitely go back!

We enjoyed using the hot tub and having 2 bathrooms. We loved being near the water, having access to an outdoor grill and kayaks. We also liked that we were able to walk to the coffee shop for breakfast, but we weren't there long enough to check out the other 2 eating places that are open. The area is still recovering from the hurricane, but there is plenty to still enjoy nearby!
We had no idea what to expect as we had never been to Matlacha. Not only was the house very comfortable with amazing water views, the town itself and all of Pine Island is just awesome. Highly recommend!
Exceeded our expectations, so beautiful. We were sitting on the dock fishing when my husband turned to me and said I nailed this location. Very cute area with old Florida vibes. House was spotless! Bed was very comfortable. Amazing sunrise and view! We will definitely be back.
