Serenity Bay is a nice place to stay. It is right on the water with a nice dock and there are kayaks and a fishing pole. There is a fire pit (bring your own wood). The place is a nice size and has everything you need while you're there, besides food and toiletries. Restaurants and shops are walkable. It is really quiet and laid back here and this is a good place to hang while you're here.

Fell short of our expectations

Although our stay in Matlacha was the first, we were a bit disappointed in our room. The room was very outdated. Wood floors needed work. You could see the ground through the floor boards. My wife had to strip all the bedding sheets to wash them. One of the available kayaks to use had a small leak. Bicycles that were available were in terrible shape.

It happened to be a quiet weekend and we enjoyed it by ourselves and loved it! We've stayed at a few places in Matlacha but we were most pleased with Serenity. The view and fishing were great! The room was clean, comfortable and what you expect in Matlacha as far as wall a/c and just being older but its good - it is a cottage on the water for a good price and a low key staycation. We will definitely return!

OK for the non-persnickety.

Unfussy, basic accommodation, moderately well equipeped, easy check in, a bit too much exposed spaghetti type wiring for my taste. Worst thing is that the front rooms are directly on that main road which starts to get busy and loud abot 5.30 am. Didn't see inside but the rear room looked a lot more enticing (and quieter) with outdoor decks and beautiful views across the bay.

We had a hiccup at check-in but it was related to an emergency and the owner took care of us. The cottage and the property are charming and very well kept. You can hear some road noise from the bedrooms on the near side of the property but it quiets down by bedtime and didn’t cause us to lose any sleep. We were very comfortable and enjoyed exploring Matlacha and the surrounding areas.
