Great house and good times.

House was perfect for our needs. The house was clean and the layout was great for our family with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. Dock was perfect for our boat and the ramp at the far end of the island made it convenient to launch and retrieve when we were done. Highly recommend staying here.

Island Life

House and furnishings were excellent. Such a tight knit, friendly community so quiet and relaxing. I could live here and be quite content (with the exception of a hurricane). We would definitely stay here again. We felt at home and treated it as if it was our own. Thank you for allowing us to spend 10 beautiful days in paradise.

Location and neighborhood were wonderful!

Owners are great people to work with. The house was very clean and plenty of room! The kids fished every day from the dock. We took the boat to Cayo Costa one day and Light House Beach in Sanibel another day to do some shelling and let the kids swim. Great restaurants in Matlacha as well! Would highly recommend!

Wonderful canal life!

Great house! Loved the split living quarters, relaxing by the dock, quiet atmosphere. It was a perfect getaway from busy lives. Local food was delicious. We spent alot of time in the kayaks paddling in and out of neighboring canals. There was an ospray nest on top of the phone pool across the street which was very cool. Neighbors were very nice. A little taste of island life was sweet. Would definitely come here again!

Kayak fishing & site seeing

Fantastic property, very spacious with large comfortable bedrooms. Kitchen area is big enough for meal preparation with several people working at once. All the appliances worked well and there are sufficient pots and pans and plenty of dishes and silverware. We fished from our kayaks every day and the dock space, which is ample, worked well for that. The property managers, Joyce and Bonnie, are excellent to work with. They were very responsive to any questions we had and were always available. The owners, Jennifer and Shawn were also very helpful. This is the second year that I have rented this property and found it to be one of the nicest places that I have stayed in.

Big and nice!

The house has four bedrooms, and they are all very large and nice. The bed in the master bedroom is super comfy! We loved the surprisingly strong water pressure in the showers. The kitchen is very nice and well equipped for making meals. We appreciated being able to park in the garage to keep our car out of the hot sun. Our very favorite place was the screened porch overlooking the canal. There are ceiling fans there to keep you cool as you watch the mullet jump in the canal. The homeowner is very helpful with supplying information and answering questions. I definitely recommend this home when staying in Matlacha!

Why they chose this property

Our family of five first visited Matlacha Island during the 2015 Christmas holiday.  We rented a small house and had planned a list of activities to enjoy in the area.  Our three teen aged boys walked out back to throw out a few fishing lines while we unpacked the car and that is where they remained (pretty much) until we repacked the car a week later.  The truth is they walked to the bridge… to fish, went out on the kayaks… to fish, and went on an off shore charter… to fish.  My husband and I enjoyed some fishing and kayaking along side of them but also took time to appreciate the local shops, art galleries, and restaurants.  Seafood just doesn’t come any fresher than here!  
We fell in love with the town and with the people of Matlacha during that week and found ourselves, less than a year later, falling in love with our “Canal Life” home.  We have put great time and effort into creating an environment that will give you the comforts of home with the relaxation of a vacation.  Our family wishes you the dream vacation of peace, tranquility, and family fun that we found on Matlacha and hope that you enjoy living the Canal Life as much as we do.  
“Everyday is a Good Day in Matlacha!”
Blessings to your family from ours,
The Brannons
