About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Comfortable and relaxing house located on a deep water canal.

Cute little house located on a deep water canal in the heart of Matlacha. Hurricane Milton was a true disaster for most properties in Matlacha. There was significant damage to the interior of the house as 2 feet of water flooded the house. Sheetrock walls were torn down and rebuilt. Almost all of the furniture was thrown out as well as all of the appliances. Currently, the primary bedroom has a king-sized bed and the second bedroom has a single bed. The living room has two electric recliners and a love seat. There is Xfinity streaming in the living room and wifi. There is a complete kitchen and a washer and a dryer located in the garage. The back lanai has an electric grill, a large table, comfortable seating for 6, and 2 lounges. Part of the dock has been damaged and is not useable. There is a part of the dock where you can tie up your boat depending upon it's size. Pets are allowed and you are expected to pick up after your dog.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Relaxing trip!

We had a nice time in Matlacha. The bridge being repaired made it very difficult to get on or off the island as many times we waited for an hour or more in traffic. Tara, our host was very accommodating if we needed anything, and the house was well equipped with everything we needed. We found that this is not a beach area, and we had to travel a long way to get to a beach. We, however caught Trout and Whiting, and had many nice fish dinners. ...So glad we had our boat! We enjoyed the back porch overlooking the canal. Can't wait to come back to Matlacha.

Great location, nice home

Nice little house on a canal in Matlacha, conveniently located within walking distance of the restaurants, coffee shop, seafood house & grocers are only a short drive. The dock & canal are a beautiful place to have your morning coffee or watch the sunset in the evening from the back porch area. Tara is easy to work with & quick to respond if you have questions or concerns.

Place needs work and cleaning

The place is not the one in the pictures, the dock gas collapsed , the grass is all dead, the lanai is dirty , the furniture doesn’t make the pictures and the host showed up many times unannounced- I rent 4-5 house a year for the past 5 years so 20-25 house - this was by far the worst one !!!

Great stay in Matlacha

Host, Tara was excellent! Very good communication and quickly responded to any questions/concerns we might have had. Prior to our arrival we inquired about recliner rentals in the area due to physical issues requiring sleeping upright. Tara replied promptly and went a step further by actually putting a recliner in the home, which was there when we arrived. House very clean!

Matlacha Bungalow

Our stay in this Matlacha home was exactly what we were looking for in our 2 week stay. It was just as described. As well as having the charms and character that only a true Matlacha Island home has to offer. From smiling neighbors, ripe fresh mangos, to the sun setting on the canal from the spacious back deck. Enjoy something from the hosts wide variety of reading materials, all the local island establishments or just the company of your traveling companion, you can have that all. So iF you are looking for an inviting, simple, home away from home, island vacation, and a relaxing experience with the charms from a unique home in an unique location I would recommend this one for you!

Nice house

It was a nice house to stay at. Little dirty when we got there, floors needed to be swept and there was a used coffee filter with grounds in it when we went to make coffee our second morning. Over all house was great communication was better as our date got closer for vacation. At the end We we’re running a little behind getting out and cleaning up our mess, a woman not sure if it was Tara or a cleaning lady but she was extremely rude when I came up to apologize for being late, we like to leave the place clean. I just told my husband to get in the car and let’s go. Ended up leaving behind two kids cups. We made sure to wash all towels used and to leave the home better then when we got it. Overall great vacation loved the canal

Cozy little house

This was a beautiful little house on a channel. It was perfect for my husband and I and our two dogs. We moored the boat to the dock out back. There are some places to eat on the water by boat which is something we love. The neighborhood was nice as was our winter time (snowbird) neighbor. He even gave the pups treats. I would definitely recommend this home.

What a perfect location! Matlacha is a fun little town and this home is within walking distance to it all. The property is just as advertised with great kitchen utensils, pantry items and appliances. There is ample room for relaxing indoors if you need a lay day or it’s raining. But the best is the canal right outside the back door. Deep water with easy access to the big water. Overall, we could not have been happier. We will definitely be back!
