Experience an 'Island Getaway' at this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath end-unit condo in Matlacha! Nestled in a tropical landscape, this waterfront vacation rental boasts luxurious amenities, including 3 lanais, and access to a community pool. Enjoy breathtaking views of Matlacha Pass from the furnished patio, along with the home's convenient location between Cape Coral's modern attractions and Pine Island's 'Old Florida' charm. Great shops and restaurants are also a short walk away!
Situated between the mainland of Cape Coral and Florida's largest island, Pine Island, the beautiful, walkable town of Matlacha is a historic fishing and artist village with many eclectic shops, boutiques, galleries, eateries, and pubs reminiscent of old Key West. With its funky vibe, Matlacha is quintessential island living with only mom and pop businesses, yet sits only 3 miles from all the modern amenities of Cape Coral.
You'll enjoy the home's walkable location, close to the village's center, bustling with pedestrians, tourists - all mingling and carrying on together. But if you prefer peace and quiet, escape to the pool or hop on your boat - also rentable from local nearby marinas - to set sail for deep sea fishing! You might also book a trip with charters such as Matlacha Fishing Charters. Pine Island Sound and Matlacha Pass are known for offering some of Florida's finest fishing!
The area is also popular for canoeing and kayaking. Paddle through the mangroves, keeping your eyes out for incredible wildlife like dolphins, manatees, ospreys, hawks, egrets, and bald eagles! Nature lovers will truly find themselves in paradise among the tropical plants and fruit groves.
Find great sunbathing and beachcombing on the barrier islands in the area! A quick boat trip or water taxi ride will have you on the white-sand shores of islands such as Cayo Costa, Cabbage Key, and North Captiva.
When you're not in the mood to cook, replenish with a meal out at one of the many bars or restaurants within a 10-minute walk of the property. Afterward, indulge in dessert at the best ice cream shop around, located just across the street!
This property is exactly as advertised, and all small details were considered, including labels for each of the light switches. Having waterfront access and kayaks available made for a great outdoors experience, even though the weather was a little cool and cloudy. We enjoyed fishing from the dock area and exploring the small shops and restaurants in the walkable vicinity. The owners were kind and quickly responded to any small questions we had.
The only suggestion we have is to consider replacing the pull out sofa set, as it is getting well worn and the mattress is incredibly thin.
Thank you for the pleasant stay; enjoyed the great variety of nature!
We really enjoyed our stay - despite Hurricane Eta making it's appearance. Everything held up fine - no damage. It is a great little cozy town, very quiet with some fantastic locally owned restaurants. The Condo was nicely furnished, clean and has a beautiful view of the water and gorgeous sunsets! Great little getaway to relax.

Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised at the unit as a whole. Not only that but the welcome gift was a very thoughtful touch. During our stay we utilized everything it had to offer. Kayaking with dolphins, fishing, swimming, laundry, full kitchen, WiFi, smart TV, enclosed patios, walking to stores and the most beautiful sunsets. Even though it is right of a main road, the traffic noise is limited and didn't bother this country family. We enjoyed a nice breeze that flowed through the condo. With fresh fish markets just a quick walk away and Publix just a quick drive away it was convenient and close to everything that we needed.
