Travellers praise Waterfront Matlacha Paradise with Hot Tub and Dock! for its quiet waterfront setting, beautiful sunrise views, screened porch and dock, with many enjoying the hot tub and kayaks and finding the updated home comfortable, modern, and accurately represented.
Many reviews describe the house as very clean and well kept. The setting delivers sunrise views and walkability to a few local spots, though several note ongoing hurricane recovery, and a few report supply gaps, slow-draining showers, AC quirks, or mixed communication. Overall, expect a scenic, self-catering waterfront stay with homey comforts and standout views.

We enjoyed our stay here. Nice location in a quite neighborhood. The home is very nicely updated. The owner stopped by to say "hi" and was very friendly. Enjoyed the kayaks and being literally right on the water. We would definitely go back!

Had a great stay here. The house was very clean and spacious. Had a very nice screened in porch area to sit in if the mosquitos are out. The host was very responsive to the couple of questions we had. The one thing I would say was a disappointment were the kayaks. They are smaller ones and one had a small leak. They are fine for paddling around close by but I would rent some fishing kayaks if you are planning on taking them out to go fishing in the bay. Outside of that everything was great.

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!

This is a wonderful house; modern, clean, and lovely. My husband loved the kayak/jet ski dock and used it daily as he kayak fished. I used the screen room every day/evening as I could not get enough of the view. We were close to everything we needed and the communication with the property managers and owner were easy with quick responses. I would recommend this home to anyone traveling in the area. They are building back this community from the hurricane even stronger. Everyone we met was delightful. We would absolutely return here!

We couldn't believe how quiet this place was. The house was immaculate, hot tub was great, kayaks were fun. Screened in porch. House had everything we needed from dishes to wine openers to laundry room. Home away from home. Several restaurants within walking distance were great & you could tell the entire Matlacha area is a tight-knit community. Super friendly. Super glad we found this area.

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!

Exceeded our expectations, so beautiful. We were sitting on the dock fishing when my husband turned to me and said I nailed this location. Very cute area with old Florida vibes. House was spotless! Bed was very comfortable. Amazing sunrise and view! We will definitely be back.

My husband and I needed a little get away and this Matlacha home was just perfect. This home looked brand new! Hurrican Ian definitely hit hard on this small town. However, the people are rebuilding and the businesses are starting to open back up. We enjoyed walking to downtown Matlacha as this place is very close. There were kayaks available for us to use, and we took advantage of a very nice launch to get in the water. The house was immaculately clean and the host thought of all the little extras to make our stay welcoming. This house is located by the end of the street which gave us a beautiful view of the bay. Dolphin came right up to the dock! They have converted the garage into a great sitting place (extra living area) which would be great if you brought kids. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

It is a nicely updated house, it is needing a little TLC as most short term rentals do after a while. It is clean, and is in a nice, quiet location. It needs to be a little better appointed such as hand towels and face/wash-clothes. A guide on how to use the TV and what channels are available in the instruction book would be nice. Overall it’s a nice home.

Decent place to stay. Address of place was written with a sharpie on mailbox and then scratched off and re-written with neighbor's address on it? Invest in some mailbox numbers would be good. Kitchen was great. View was great. Back double doors do not lock properly. AC not venting in master bath. Overall good place to stay. Clean.

We spent four nights at the property. It was a great relaxing stay. We checked out all of Pine Island. There were two different Publix near by in either direction. We tried the great Popstroke putt putt, enjoyed massages and pampered ourselves with mani/pedis. The house has a great kitchen with dining and open to family room. From kitchen you can see the water. I watched the sunrise each morning over the bridge while sipping on coffee. We also intently kept track of an Osprey who spent mornings in a nearby tree. Blue Dog is a great dinner spot. A walk to the fudge/candy store is fun and there are shirt shops and a breakfast spot within walking distance too. Highly recommended for relaxing/restful getaway.

This is a great home that is well suited for kayak and outdoor activities. The pictures on the website were accurate, to what we found when we arrived. The home was very functional but not cluttered with things, which I greatly appreciated. While the home itself was in good working order, be aware that the area is still recovering from hurricane damage, so there where still a lot of places that were not back up and running at the time of our visit. The host company was very easy to get a hold off and very pleasant.

The home was very functional but not cluttered with things, which I greatly appreciated. While the home itself was in good working order, be aware that the area is still recovering from hurricane damage, so there where still a lot of places that were not back up and running at the time of our visit. The host company was very easy to get a hold off and very pleasant.

We spent four nights at the property. It was a great relaxing stay. We checked out all of Pine Island. There were two different Publix near by in either direction. We tried the great Popstroke putt putt, enjoyed massages and pampered ourselves with mani/pedis. The house has a great kitchen with dining and open to family room. From kitchen you can see the water. I watched the sunrise each morning over the bridge while sipping on coffee. We also intently kept track of an Osprey who spent mornings in a nearby tree. Blue Dog is a great dinner spot. A walk to the fudge/candy store is fun and there are shirt shops and a breakfast spot within walking distance too. Highly recommended for relaxing/restful getaway.

We enjoyed our stay here. Nice location in a quite neighborhood. The home is very nicely updated. The owner stopped by to say "hi" and was very friendly. Enjoyed the kayaks and being literally right on the water. We would definitely go 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!

Exceeded our expectations, so beautiful. We were sitting on the dock fishing when my husband turned to me and said I nailed this location. Very cute area with old Florida vibes. House was spotless! Bed was very comfortable. Amazing sunrise and view! We will definitely be back.

My husband and I needed a little get away and this Matlacha home was just perfect. This home looked brand new! Hurrican Ian definitely hit hard on this small town. However, the people are rebuilding and the businesses are starting to open back up. We enjoyed walking to downtown Matlacha as this place is very close. There were kayaks available for us to use, and we took advantage of a very nice launch to get in the water. The house was immaculately clean and the host thought of all the little extras to make our stay welcoming. This house is located by the end of the street which gave us a beautiful view of the bay. Dolphin came right up to the dock! They have converted the garage into a great sitting place (extra living area) which would be great if you brought kids. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

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!

Beautiful property in a beautiful place. Enjoyed a quiet calm weekend relaxing to the beautiful views from the back patio. The sunrise from the back of the property was great. Plenty of wildlife to see with dolphins swimming close by and ospreys in the sky. Definitely would do this again. Matlacha is still recovering from Hurricanes Ian. Spoke to many locals that shared crazy stories. Everyone is very friendly. Definitely somewhere I would visit again

We couldn't believe how quiet this place was. The house was immaculate, hot tub was great, kayaks were fun. Screened in porch. House had everything we needed from dishes to wine openers to laundry room. Home away from home. Several restaurants within walking distance were great & you could tell the entire Matlacha area is a tight-knit community. Super friendly. Super glad we found this area.

Perfect! Everything you need is nearby. Still can't believe how quiet this neighborhood is. We used the kayaks & the hot tub was much appreciated. The restaurants on Matlacha are all lovely & worth visiting. The house is immaculate, worth every penny! Super chill.

Decent place to stay. Address of place was written with a sharpie on mailbox and then scratched off and re-written with neighbor's address on it? Invest in some mailbox numbers would be good. Kitchen was great. View was great. Back double doors do not lock properly. AC not venting in master bath. Overall good place to stay. Clean.
