The house has four bedrooms, and they are all very large and nice. The bed in the master bedroom is super comfy! We loved the surprisingly strong water pressure in the showers. The kitchen is very nice and well equipped for making meals. We appreciated being able to park in the garage to keep our car out of the hot sun. Our very favorite place was the screened porch overlooking the canal. There are ceiling fans there to keep you cool as you watch the mullet jump in the canal. The homeowner is very helpful with supplying information and answering questions. I definitely recommend this home when staying in Matlacha!

We were looking for a quiet weekend getaway. Canal Life was perfect. This was the most well stocked rental I've ever rented. They had everything! We only had to bring the food & wine! Fished right off the dock and caught a lot of fish! It was a rainy weekend. Played games & puzzles. Watched movies & football. House has a split floorplan with two living areas. Ventured out to learn a bit of local history. Visited some cool trinket shops and restaurants within walking distance. Excellent communication with owners & property manager. EXCELLENT rental if you bring your boat and other watercraft.

House and furnishings were excellent. Such a tight knit, friendly community so quiet and relaxing. I could live here and be quite content (with the exception of a hurricane). We would definitely stay here again. We felt at home and treated it as if it was our own. Thank you for allowing us to spend 10 beautiful days in paradise.

The property was perfect for our needs. The water access to the canal for launching our kayaks was very good. We were able to easily slide our kayaks into the water each morning and back up onto the dock at the end of each day. The house itself was fantastic, very spacious including a large kitchen with all the utensils and appliances necessary for preparing meals. The bedrooms are large and the beds are very comfortable. The property manager, Bonnie was very helpful and provided us with lots of good information. The Matlacha area is incredible for kayaking and especially kayak fishing. The water is very clear and we would see dolphins and lots of fish every day. There are many different types of birds including herons, egrets, ibises, a variety of ducks,terns and gulls as well as ospreys and eagles. There are many islands and waterways to explore and in one week we only scratched the surface. I would like to return next year and stay for at least a a couple of weeks.

Another great stay!!

Another great stay!!

Our second time bringing our boat and staying in this lovely property! Again, this property is perfect for boat owners. Plenty of dock room, a boat lift and plenty of boat trailer parking right next to the house. The owners and manager of this property are wonderful! Always quick to respond to any and all questions. House is perfect! Fully stocked, 2 fridges, plenty of room for everyone to spread out, great hot tub, wonderful outside area on the dock to relax and unwind after a full day of boating. Beds were super comfy, water pressure great and always hot. I really cant think of any negatives. We will be back again soon and cant wait! Love this house and area! Thanks again for allowing us in your beautiful home!

We thouroughly enjoyed our short visit to Matlacha. This home had more than enough room to spread out and relax. The water lapping in the canal was nearly as good as the ocean. Home had everything we needed and more. Definitely would stay here again.

Family fishing vacation

Family fishing vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at “Canal Life” in Matlacha. We have a 28 foot fishing boat and the setting was ideal. Never a problem with water depth at the dock. Fresh water for rinsing and even live bait right off the dock. Matlacha Pass offers convenient access to Charlotte harbor to Fort Myers. The house was clean, large, quiet and fully appointed. We’ll be back.

Wonderful large home in Matlacha

Wonderful large home in Matlacha

The property was clean and as described in the advertising. It worked really well for my wife and me, our friends, a couple, who stayed 4 nights with us, and another friend who stayed 1 night, and a couple who visited us for cocktails. Plenty of both personal and communal space. The location was perfect for fishing every day, and the excellent boat lift with cover worked perfectly for our 18' skiff. A useful long hose, a launching platform for the kayaks, a fish cleaning station and additional dock space for a visiting boater friend of ours all helped make our stay comfortable. My wife especially liked the hot tub, which we cooled down a bit due to the 90 degree weather in August.

We are a family of 8 and there was plenty of room for all of us comfortably. We really enjoyed our stay. We spent the whole time on the pontoon boat fishing. Caught many trout and some mackerel! House pros: it was clean, bug free, and most importantly the AC worked and was cold! The house had plenty of beds and they were comfortable! There were also bikes and kayaks made available to us. The house had a home feel that was very inviting! It seemed to have everything we needed! House Cons: the home could use more towels. Also half the house is pitched. There must have been a foundation issue at one time as there is a crack through the house (it has been sealed but you can see it) the master and half the house feels pitched towards the water. This was not a big deal for us, we felt perfectly safe, but it was worth mentioning to potential future guests just as a heads up. Bonnie (property manager) was super helpful and great, she let us into the rental and showed us everything and the owner Jennifer is so nice and always answered any questions I had and was quick to answer. We will definitely stay again! Thank you so much for letting us stay!
