This place was great! Just what we needed. The house was perfect. We had a great stay.

Lynn's home was absolutely beautiful. Incredibly clean, quiet & comfortable. Honestly, the house was immaculately clean! We watched dolphins out front everyday and even had a manatee pop up one evening. The home was stocked with everything we needed. We were in town for a tradeshow & work. But coming back to this property each night was so relaxing. We enjoyed dinners on the deck and had a fire in the waterside fire pit a few nights. (The mosquitoes didn't get bad until after dark!) We will definitely book this again!

Excellent. Thank you Miss Lynn

We’d stay here again. The place is clean, kitchen had everything we needed. The view from the porch is awesome, even saw dolphins & eagle rays. We were so busy otherwise that we didn’t get the chance to use the kayaks or bikes located in the basement area.

Just a wonderful stay and the location, views, and home were perfect. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We have a boat and were able to launch right from the homes property and also docked there so it was so easy and convenient for fishing. Highly recommend.

The McMillan house is incredible! The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Kayaks, fishing poles, boat launch, grill, fishing docks, everything is right there at your fingertips for your enjoyment. The McMillan family will show you true southern hospitality. They have been a part of Chokoloskee for quite a few generations and they are all blessed with the gift of storytelling. If you take one of their charters of the local waterways they will share their knowledge in true old Florida fashion.They run the historic Smallwood Store and this is a must see on your stay. You will stand in awe at it’s contents from years gone by. Chokoloskee Island is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world. On a beautiful starry night on the porch, you can see the milky way and if you listen close enough you can hear the whispers of the ancient Calusa Indians that once inhabited the area. Go for a visit, you will not regret it. Thank you Lynn, Gary, Corey and Nicole for an absolutely amazing week. We’ll see you all very soon!

We can't say enough wonderful things about this home. We spent each morning enjoying coffee on the patio overlooking the bay enjoying the breeze. We were able to enter on boat from the property and dock on the property. Lynn was so kind and helpful, especially since we might be arriving during a possible hurricane. Her son, Captain Cody, was great in answering boating questions and giving us advice for fishing. If you are looking for a slice of old Florida heaven, you have found your spot!

Great place to stay. Clean and comfortable. I highly recommend staying at this house and visiting this quiet, beautiful area.

It was a great property with anything you may be looking for to relax or going boating, fishing or watching dolphins playing in the water.

Great rental experience and we would recommended and return again

Outstanding property , literally the end of the road on the west shore of Florida Gulf. Unmatched location , great owners / managers onsite. Fishing was slow due to full moon and our inexperience. We used the boat dock and the Owners graciously provided buoy bumpers for our new bay boat maiden voyage. We will come back ! Hopefully for a few weeks next winter ! Certainly exceeded our expectations !

WE HAVE STAYED HERE X2. We love the house, the area and the view. It is comfortable for 2 of us.. The owners are very friendly and go above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We did have internet problem but we were there to enjoy the peaceful beautiful area.

This was our second stay at this location and like the first was wonderful!! The cottage was clean and the kitchen well stocked. Lynn was always available if I had questions or if something came up. Thanks again for a much needed getaway!

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.

Love the place and the owners ! Highly recommend Captain Cory fishing tour ! Very Knowledgeable interesting young man , could listen to him for hours !

Best fishing I’ve ever had on vacation. Book a trip with Captain Cori. Not just a fishing guide, he has lots of local knowledge .

We loved being able to put kayaks in right in front of the house - it's a great location.

Great location very nice place. Comfy

Excellent location for those who want to fish or explore the southwest Florida Everglades. Property manager was very responsive and helpful.

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

Our Thanksgiving holiday away from home was quite memorable thanks to lynn and gary's little hideaway.

Love this place!!

Where to begin, a fantastic house with the best view and loction. Florida the way it should be. We meat the owners who are knowledgable of local History and the waterways. The Smallwood Store is a must stop while in town. We are definitely looking forward to our next vacation here.

House is perfect would reccomend it for sure

Lynns' house is in the absolute best location to access the Everglades National Park. The boat ramp is next to the house and there is ample dockage for a boat. The house is on the southern tip of the island and has beautiful water views from the porch and windows. The house is very nicely decorated inside and has an excellent kitchen with all utensils and cookware. It is well equipped. The beds are very comfortable and we slept well here. The internet service is good. Lynn and her family have lived here for generations and have a comprehensive knowledge of the local ecosystem. They run an eco-tour business and their trips are a must-do if you are visiting here. The fishing access to the ENP and Ten Thousand Islands is very good from the house. We saw amazing wildlife in the Park during our trip. The birding was very good. We saw dolphins playing and feeding, sea turtles, alligators and manatees many times while also catching fish! A dolphin pod uses the bay immediately in front of the house as a sheltered area for breeding and giving birth to their young. We saw what was probably this years baby when we arrived in February. My wife and I (and some friends) all enjoyed our stay here. Lynn is a wonderful host and is very welcoming and helpful.

We truly enjoyed our stay!! We love the area and have enjoyed kayaking and camping in the Ten Thousand Islands Area for many years. This year we decided to enjoy it in a different way. The accommodations met our needs perfectly. We enjoyed kayaking and fishing right out the front door! The cottage had a newly renovated kitchen and was well stocked. I loved the décor. It was very charming and comfortable. The best part was the hospitality and kindness of the owners! Thank you. Mary Phillips

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.

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).

I was concerned because it was in the middle of a boat launch parking lot, but it is a private launch. Very clean and functional house. Sleeps 3 big men or 6 couples/kids. Lynn was awesome to work with and was very helpful. Kitchen was great.

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!!

We loved staying at the house! Located at a marina with great views to the islands, we saw birds and dolphins and could fish right from in front of the house. Watching both our BBQ and sunset right from the deck was just lively. Great friendly owner.
