The location was amazing with the south facing house. You can watch the sunrise and the sunset. We didnt come to fish but we may be back tonfish. The Smallwood Store is a must visit.
Had a great time in Chokoloskee, exploring the area by boat. We had our own small boat, and we launched it and kept it at the dock while staying at this beautiful home on the water. We had some great fishing, even though unfamiliar with that part of the water in Florida. It does get shallow, so smaller boats are best here. The home was very clean and comfortable, and the host is very friendly and accommodating. The property outside was wonderful too. Great waterfront views all around and a really nice fireplace by the water. The sky is full of stars at night, and I love hearing and seeing all the wildlife. A gem of a place. We officially love chokoloskee and the islands. We even got engaged while watching the sunset one of our nights here on an island not too far from the property. We could take our boat anywhere anytime. Definitely will be back, this is our special spot in our home state of Florida!
A fisherman’s paradise. Proximity to the water was beyond perfect. The locals were so nice and would stop and chat and help with some fishing tips. Other activities aren’t a terrible drive if you want to get out of the Everglades for the day either. We literally had dolphins swim up to the dock! Host was so nice and informative as well. House was very charming and had everything we needed. Would love to book again!!
We enjoyed our stay so much. My family loved fishing, Python hunting and being outside - the yellow house is set in a beautiful location with a water view out of every window. It is peaceful, lovely and so much fun.
Wonderful place to stay. LM and GM are great hosts. Place was immaculate and sitting out at night looking at the oyster bars is an amazing experience. Choko is one of the last real Florida experiences left and this property exemplifies it. Thanks again!
We were so pleased that we already booked another get away. It is a lovely, peaceful place surrounded by water and wild life. Captain Cory gave us an adventure that we will be talking about for a long time.

Everyday was relaxing
Very comfortable place to stay for a quiet getaway
We will definitely be back .
Lynn and Gary are two of the nicest people.
Thank you so much for sharing your great home
Really great cottage on stilts by the waterfront. 2 bedrooms and fully stocked kitchen with coffee maker, pots/pans. Very quiet. The owners are lovely and helpful, really enjoyed talking with them.
Delightful place to stay, nice and quiet. Lovely sunrise and sunsets from the property. We saw dolphins every day. The property was well stocked with everything you might need for your stay. Owners were very imformative and helpful with places to eat, and places to go. We enjoyed fishing from the dock every day, and caught numerous different fish.
Thank you Lynne

Wonderful people left the home the cleaniest ever at checkout! Thank you Paulette!
This charming cottage was not only a memory maker for us and our two teen grandsons, it reminded us of our childhood days gone by. The boys caught mangrove snapper, catfish and snook from the bank. The view is great, the hot water endless and the beds were comfortable. The hostess was friendly and ready to assist as needed.

Backcountry Fishing at your fingertips
I really liked this spot. Perfect views of the bay, sunrise and sunsets. Very relaxing. Being able to dock my boat 25 steps from the backdoor was awesome. If you like fishing the backcountry of the 10000 islands there is no better place I think you will find, and you can take your puppy too.... THANKS

Thank you for the review, so glad you enjoyed your stay! Hope you can come again in the near future!
We enjoyed our stay- the house was very clean and had a nice big kitchen with lots of supplies for cooking and food storage. We don't fish but it would be perfect for fishermen or someone with a boat because of the boat ramp. We used it as a base for exploring the nearby parks and went on a couple of tours in the area. Enjoyed drinking coffee on the porch and watching the water, what a view! I was thrilled we saw dolphins twice but we had an even better dolphin experience during our boat tour with Cory at Smallwood General Store. Bring drinking water and bug spray!

10,000 Islands Weekend Getaway
These old Tampa kids had a wonderful 4 day weekend at Lynn's Chokoloskee home. It was the perfect home base to explore the 10,000 Islands and Everglades. Lynn's husband Gary was so kind to help us establish a gps track to safely navigate our way through the mangrove islands and oyster bars to some nice fishing spots. Fishing was spotty inshore (poor weather) but fun none the less. Fishing right off the seawall behind the house we landed a slot snook and a baby goliath grouper!! Sunsets and sunrises from the back porch, who could ask for more?! It was a real pleasure and insight to speak with Lynn and Gary and some of the rest of their family about the town and their family's history in Chokoloskee. Thanks again Lynn, we will be back!!

fantastic Sunset Cruise
Located right on the water with a dock. House is on stilts (hurricane-worthy), and a 1-flight stairway is climbed for entrance. House felt freshly renovated and offered an abundance of space for 3 adults. Very clean and tastefully decorated.
Located in an authentic, quiet community of multi-generation islanders. Feels far away from resorts. Easy to find restaurants with seafood, but don't expect to dine late.
We almost missed out on an extraordinary experience - the owners offer boat rides that are a great introduction to extensive mangrove islands. During our early January visit, we took a "Sunset Cruise" that gave close-up encounters with dolphins, hundreds of white pelicans, and densely occupied rookery of big birds flocking for the night. Fantastic!
Convenient drive to National Park entrances at Everglade City (with a boat concession to tour the saltwater area of mangroves) and Shark Valley (where we greatly enjoyed a tram ride across the fresh-water "river of grass" with an informative guide to see lots of gators & big birds up close).
