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.

One of the best stays in Matlacha. Having your boat right off the back patio is a win win.
