We come to the area to bike, kayak and go to museums and parks. The location is great for scouting around Pine Island and is an easy drive to many good places to sight see. The community park is an easy walk from the Anglers Inn also. The decor of the room is a reflection of Old Matlacha, colorful, small and sweet. Love the lanai and availability of a washer and dryer. Spent a good amount of time watching the birds across the canal and the comings and goings of the boats from the dock. Janette and Michael were terrific. They were very responsive and sincerely wanted you to be as comfortable and happy as possible.
Plenty of space for parking.
Lanai has privacy “hedges”.

Great place to stay, only downsides are the air unit isn’t big enough to cool down the space quickly and the bed is very stiff. We will book again because the porch is awesome and check in check out is a breeze. We will bring an extra fan and maybe a mattress topper.

Wonderful and relaxing

We stayed here because it is a pet friendly place. So happy that we did. This is the perfect people place, too. The screened in patio and lovely dock area was more than we hoped for. The shops and restaurants were a fun way to pass the time. Everything was amazing. Well done!
