We come to the area to bike, kayak and go to museums and parks. The location is great for scouting around Pine Island and is an easy drive to many good places to sight see. The community park is an easy walk from the Anglers Inn also. The decor of the room is a reflection of Old Matlacha, colorful, small and sweet. Love the lanai and availability of a washer and dryer. Spent a good amount of time watching the birds across the canal and the comings and goings of the boats from the dock. Janette and Michael were terrific. They were very responsive and sincerely wanted you to be as comfortable and happy as possible.
Plenty of space for parking.
Lanai has privacy “hedges”.

Great place to stay, only downsides are the air unit isn’t big enough to cool down the space quickly and the bed is very stiff. We will book again because the porch is awesome and check in check out is a breeze. We will bring an extra fan and maybe a mattress topper.

The place was off the main road and boat channel to be very quiet. The motel was completely destroyed by Hurricane Ian in Sept 2022 so has been restored since then and the owners have done a good job with lots of hard work. I was very comfortable and loved being able to control my own room temp with the mini split in my room. Parking available in front of door and boat mooring available for those who have boats. Otherwise chairs in screened outdoor space or dockside lounger available to sit and relax. Community park across the canal which gives privacy and trees for birds to perch and pelicans, ospreys and herons to hunt for fish. Janette was very helpful and responsive. I would be happy to book another stay there in the future.
