Mom and Dad Fishing Trip

Our first stay in Matlacha was amazing! This house was super cute and clean. We enjoyed the screen in back porch and the hot tub was a nice touch. Our favorite part was easy access in and out with our boat and the beautiful sunrise views over the water. Can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed using the hot tub and having 2 bathrooms. We loved being near the water, having access to an outdoor grill and kayaks. We also liked that we were able to walk to the coffee shop for breakfast, but we weren't there long enough to check out the other 2 eating places that are open. The area is still recovering from the hurricane, but there is plenty to still enjoy nearby!
