This is an older property, but well maintained, great layout, and conveniently located. The pictures are accurate and Ed, the property manager is excellent. He responds quickly to any questions or issues, resolving everything professionally. The use of the kayak, canoe, water board, and bikes is a big plus, especially given the launching convenience.

The view says it all. We spent a lot of time sitting in the lovely, shaded yard watching the boats go by, the osprey fish, and the mullet jump. We saw dolphins and manatee. The house was just perfect.; it had everything we needed and then some. The enclosed, screened porch meant we could watch the bay at all times and eat “outside.” The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well- supplied. There was a Publix about a mile away and a store called Farmer Joe’s just a little bit further. There were several fresh fish places in Matlacha and fruits and vegetables were available at a little store near the Publix. Restaurants were plentiful and close by in Matlacha. The manager was fantastic. He was very easy to reach and responded immediately. We had a wonderful stay and hope we can return one day. It was so peaceful.

Perfect for those who enjoy nature and aren't specifically looking for daily beachfront swimming. Property manager excellent and addressed any need promptly. Would certainly go back

We really enjoyed our stay. The property is outstanding, particularly if you are outdoor oriented. Great variety of wildlife and spectacular view. Ed could not be more accommodating and responsive.

The home was spacious for our family. The teens loved the TV room and recliners. Enjoyed our mornings drinking coffee on the enclosed back porch, watching for manatee and waving to the boaters as they went by. The water was calm and warm. Everyone kayaked or canoed on the provided equipment. We cooked dinner and ate as a family several nights. Kitchen was well equipped and easy to entertain in. We had a lovely time as a family and were grateful to call this home for a week.

The house was comfortable; the porch was perfect for relaxing and watching waterfront activities (quite a stream of boats passing by) and wildlife (lots of water birds). The kitchen had all the necessary utensils and equipment for us to make two holiday meals, which was a nice surprise.

The house was spacious and comfortable. The photos of the house and property are on target. The view is amazing and we were able to fish off the dock. Ed was great. He responded quickly to any questions. The only drawback was the TV. Beautiful sets but not able to view the channels we wanted. I did find the sliding glass doors didn't seem to move easily. Also, on our last day we did a load of laundry and realized the dryer was not heating up. Overall a great place to stay and would recommend . On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give an 9.

The place looks even better in person. The location was great, very well communication from the host. I would totally reccomend this property to other guests. My only recommendation to the owner is to have tvs in the other rooms and cable or online apps available to watch TV. Only air antenna available.

House was nice, comfortable and clean. Just my wife and I but the house would have been very comfortable for three couples. We rented for the location to go kayaking for the week. The location is perfect for kayaking and kayak fishing. Nice sandy area right off the sea wall to get in and out of kayaks. Do bring water shoes as there a lot of oysters shells around as well. The location takes you directly into the mangrove flats for miles and miles. I fly fished from my kayak and caught snook, sea trout and mangrove snapper. Many sandy flats areas where you can anchor the kayaks and hop out to cool off in the water. Also fished off the dock in the evenings and caught several kinds of fish. Saw several red fish but could not hook up on one. Sea life is incredible with rays, sharks, and schools of fish swimming by the kayak all day. Saw dolphin every day off the dock or while boating. Had Manatee swim by the dock one evening while we were enjoying the sunset. Great location for local restaurants as well. Walking distance to Micelis bar and restaurant. Rented from Gulf Coast Kayaks and were very happy with their boats. Also they are less than a mile away if there are any problems. If you like kayaking this is the place. If you like fishing this is also a great place. A flats boat would work here for fishing as well. Hope to come back in the future.

Fantastic place! We loved watching all of the boats, kayaking, fishing from the dock and grilling out. The sunroom is the perfect place to read or work and the neighborhood is quiet. Easy bike ride to all of the restaurants and shops in Matlacha. Ed was great...easy check-in process, very helpful and promptly answered our questions. Would recommend!

We enjoyed the house location and the beautiful sight from the back yard..

Great location and neighbors and all the amenities you needed

We saw manatees, dolphins, crabs and jumping fish right from the back yard and dock. Lanai is large, very comfortable and was able to work a bit while enjoying the wonderful view of the bay. Best office Ive ever had. Neighbors were kind and welcoming too, felt right at home. Had a relaxing stay. Close to stores when you need it too. Ed was easy to reach and gave us helpful tips!

Ed was great, check in was easy. Really nice house, very well equipped, kitchen had everything we needed. Incredible views, great grill and fire pit.

Very quiet location with excellent views on the water, close to all the shops and restaurants. Would definitely like to come back. David

Excellent

A great house, location, and manager make this an easy choice. The split floor plan is great for families or couples that want a bit of privacy while staying in this large home. The view speaks for itself for the beautiful location with nice neighbors and a steady flow of locals going by in the canal. The sunroom facing the canal and mangroves is the BEST room to have coffee, work, or smell the the steaks on the grill in the back yard. Ed, the manager, is polite, fun, and professional.
