Escape to Fisherman’s Paradise in Matlacha, Florida!

Welcome to your dream retreat in the heart of Matlacha—perfect for those who love the outdoors, fishing, and island vibes! This bright, colorful 2-bedroom home captures the essence of Old Florida and is designed for relaxation and adventure. With a private walk-around dock, and a fish cleaning station, it’s truly a fisherman’s paradise. Spend your days enjoying the outdoors with a tiki bar, outdoor kitchen, and water access right at your doorstep.

Located in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, it’s the perfect getaway for anglers, nature lovers, and anyone looking to relax and recharge. Take advantage of free use of two kayaks to explore the scenic canals or hop on the bicycles and cruise the laid-back streets of Matlacha.

Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen with a coffee bar, making mornings easy and enjoyable. The cozy coastal living room features a sofa bed, and the two queen bedrooms offer comfort and relaxation after a day of fishing or exploring. The bathroom includes a refreshing shower, and the house comes with convenient amenities like a washer and dryer, AC, heating, iron, and a hairdryer.
