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.

Great Christmas stay

We had an unexpected illness hit the family we had planned to stay with so we had to book last minute and Mike was amazing with communication from the get go. He also set out some holiday decor and treats for us. The mini tree was perfect for us to set up our gifts underneath for the kids. The house is so nice with an open layout, plenty of space and amazing view. We loved walking to the nearby shops and restaurant as well as through the neighborhood to check out the Christmas lights. All the neighbors were so friendly. We ended up having my dad over for christmas eve dinner and the kitchen space was large enough and stocked with all we needed for cooking/serving. Would highly recommend this rental and would book it again!

Peaceful, Serene and Scenic

My wife and I really enjoyed our stat at Sunset Retreat! I mean, how can you go wrong being right on the canal and can view manatee and dolphin literally out your back window! Such quiet and beautiful setting with calm water and quiet neighbors. The house has a nice dock to put in a boat, or in my case a kayak right into Matlacha Pass and it turned out to be a great place to easily explore the mangrove islands and sandbars. It's also within easy walking distance from the cool shops and nearby restaurants.Miguel and Elvia are super nice and responsive hosts and were just a text away from answering any and all questions we had. Sadly, lightning had knocked out the air conditioners in both bedrooms and parts were needed that didn't arrive before our stay ended. We were able to sleep on the sun porch and couch so it was definitely doable. The hosts kept us informed of the status of the repairs and graciously awarded us a partial refund for our discomfort. About the only thing we didn't understand was the need for guests to launder the towels when a cleaning fee is also charged. But we did so and consider our stay a real favorite vacation because of the accommodations and location! We definitely hope to return to Sunset Retreat!
