Great Waterfront Views

The property is located in a quaint fishing and boating village. The patio and enclosed back room offered fantastic views of the back bay. We had no issues at all during our stay. Would Highly Recommend!!

Summer vacation with grandkids

The place was in great condition considering they had experienced a cat 5 hurricane last fall. Owner is on top of needed repairs, and the place is very functional. The area will be in recovery for quite awhile but people are “survivors” here and grateful to see visitors. All new interior & furnishings. Mike(owner) is great and will make your stay enjoyable

Matlacha fishing

It was nice. Owner did a nice job with their home understanding the major Hurricane that went through this little village one year ago. The devastation in and around the community was very apparent. We have been visiting this are for 40+ years so it was a nice return.

Matlacha

Mike is an amazing host who goes above and beyond to accommodate his guests. This little slice of heaven was extremely clean and comfortable. It's right on the water with spectacular views of sunsets, fish jumping, birds and other wildlife. The neighborhood is quiet and close to shopping and restaurants! Couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind!!

Newly Updated, Right on the Water

This was a great little house. The island still has a lot of damage from Hurricane Ian, but this house has been completely redone on the inside. Everything was brand new and clean. The house was right on the water with a dock, which would be great if you were bringing a boat with you. (I'm sure there's a boat launch nearby). The owners were very accommodating and quick ty respond to any questions I had. Would definitely stay again.
