Summer Vacation

This house had everything we needed for our vacation. They have plenty of games for the family to play. The decor was very well thought out. The host responded very quickly to any questions we had and was very helpful and informative about the area. If you have a boat its a great place to go boating whether you like to fish or just enjoy hanging at a sandbar. I highly recommend this as a place to stay.

This house is incredible! I couldn’t be more thankful that we chose this house, unfortunately since we went in May it was rainy but because of this house’s beautiful amenities we were about to make the most of our stay with rain or shine! We had so much fun playing board games, fishing, talking in the jacuzzi, it was the perfect fit!

Awesome Matlecha Waterfront Property!

We had a great time & we would definitely recommend staying here. The hosts were very friendly & accomodating. We were very impressed as soon as we walked into the home. It was super clean & wonderfully decorated! We especially loved sitting out on the large lighted deck along the canal & relaxing in the hot tub at night. The many board games, Margarita machine, fishing poles & the 2 cruiser bicycles were added bonuses!

Fantastic!!

This house was everything we hoped for and more! From the initial communication, even before booking, to our last text message at the time of checkout our questions and concerns were answered and addressed immediately. The house was super clean and spacious! The beds were 5star hotel quality and saying it was well stocked is an understatement! From the all the basic essentials you may need while away from home to so many board games for kids, bikes to ride, cornhole boards, pretty great jacuzzi and excellent fishing spot in the back. My family had a great time! We will definitely consider this house in the future when visiting Matlacha! Thank you Dana and Joyce for making this family celebration such a stress-free process!

A Little Slice of Paradise

My wife and I have vacationed all over the U.S., including multiple stays in Florida. I can honestly say we've never had a more positive experience than with this Matlacha property. From the moment we put down our first deposit, Dana - our host - was communicative and extremely engaging. She answered all our questions, usually within minutes, and that held true throughout our stay. Dana provided lots of insider tips and recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The property was everything we had hoped for. It is equipped with everything you might need during your stay. There's a grill on the back porch & a hot tub where we spent nights gazing at the water and watching the sunset or counting the stars. There's a dock if you decide to rent a boat for fishing or sightseeing. The home itself if stunning - there's a huge open area for watching TV or playing games, and the kitchen is spacious and well-stocked with lots of the basics (sugar, coffee, etc.) plus some fun unexpected extras, like a margarita machine. There are two full baths, with comfortable showers and lots of closet space and plenty of towels. Dana thought of everything: bikes, cornhole boards, lots of supplies (laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc.), a magnetic Scrabble board on one wall and an arcade PacMan game on another. She even has a canister of rice in case you drop your cell phone in the canal. This was a five-star experience from beginning to end. Can't wait to visit again!
