Piece of Paradise for All Seasons!!! Bring Your Boat!

Castaway Cottage is waiting for you! Come enjoy fishing and boating, or just relax with a cocktail in the screened lanai, and watch the sunset. We are on the Henley Canal, less than five minutes away from open water. Property can accommodate boats up to 18 feet.

Our pet friendly 2.5 bedroom/1 bathroom/1 outside shower home is within walking or biking (bikes provided) distance to local bars and restaurants, as well as the general store, marinas and other necessities.

Hook up to Snook, Redfish, Tarpon and more. You can drop a line right from the dock (poles provided). Paddle the canal (kayak provided), boat to the beaches of Sanibel and Captiva Islands (property can accommodate 18 foot boat; bring your own boat or rent nearby).

Do as much or as little as you like! Meet some new dolphin and manatee friends as they cruise the canal. Feed the resident catfish, go bird watching and find eagles, heron, egrets, owl and other winged island inhabitants. Encounter a coyote, boar or alligator.

If you would like to venture a bit further, the historic village of Matlacha offers art from local artists, shopping and even more bars and restaurants to explore.

A slice of heavenly paradise!

What an amazing place. We had such a wonderful time. It’s such a little slice of paradise. This cottage is decorated so cute xoxox. And so much fun to launch our boat right from our own private dock. Jenn and Tim are amazing hosts. Can’t wait to come back! So sad to leave and go back to reality ❤️

Cozy & comfortable!

We had a wonderful stay from the minute we arrived! The house is cozy and charming! The owners were attentive and we’re always there if we had questions! They were informative and you can tell they really love the house and it shows because of how well it is maintained! Tim and jennifer were wonderful to rent from and it was the best trip we have had in years! We cannot wait to go back! If you are looking for a cozy and quiet place to stay...look no further! Thanks again Tim and jennifer! Best week ever!
