Matlacha Cottages & Villa - Hotel in Matlacha - 4760 Pine Island Rd, USA

Clean! Nice two bedroom villa that backs up to the water. A great haven for escape. Experience Matlacha in its own unique quirkiness. A cross between Buffet and Hemingway. Sure to please all! Sadly destroyed during Hurricane Ian, this villa has been restored to its original unique character. The host is friendly, prompt and ever so hospitable. The sunsets set a high bar! Even the rain doesn't disappoint! Thanks for the great experience.

Our visit to Matlacha Cottages was the start and the highlight of our 12 day trip. We spent three days in total relaxed comfort. Our host, Marta, was fabulous and despite our attempts to have her join us on the dock, she refused, giving us total privacy and complete freedom on the grounds. We had a blast fishing, probably caught nearly 30 fish, mostly bonnet head sharks, and they are a hoot to catch. There were mangrove snappers, catfish, stingray and we saw a huge sheephead but he was very elusive. We enjoyed watching the dolphin in the morning and evening. The cottage was super comfy. Loved the cozy nature and the total cottage feel with beach colors and decor and the beautiful hardwood floors. One thing I really appreciated is I could walk the floors in sock feet or barefoot and my feet stayed clean, kudos to the cleaning staff! The entire place was very clean and I slept great considering I don't usually away from home. I would recommend this cottage to anyone and feel confident they would love the stay. It was just two of us, but would be perfect for a few more! We also just fell in love with the area. Matlacha is so much fun and populated by some really super neat people. I can't wait to go back and look forward to seeing Marta and her mom again, Thank you so much!

Absolutely magical stay! The location and charm of our cottage was the perfect getaway from our cold and snowy home. We had all of the comforts of home, but with the beauty of a tropical paradise. Highly recommend!!

We stayed in the Pink Waterfront cottage for a week. It was small but had everything we needed for a week. The best part was the beautiful view of Matlacha Pass. The cottage had a small deck with a high top table and two chairs. There was a lovely deck overlooking the water that was shared by the three cottages. We began and ended our days with a peaceful view and lively conversation with the couples from the other two cottages. I highly recommend this place!

We stayed here for the weekend and loved it! The cottage is beautifully decorated with mid century charm, and very clean and cozy. The owner is super nice and very informative about Matlacha Island. There's an awesome view in the backyard where you can watch dolphins swimming while watching the sun set. There are several shops and restaurants within walking distance. It is a very cool and colorfully painted little town. We can't wait to go back, and when we do, we will definitely stay at Matlacha Cottages again!

We love our little cottage on Matlacha! The street out front, the Main Street through the island, is noisy and often packed...but step outside your door and around the back and visit another world. Right on the water of Matlacha Pass with palms and a great deck! Dolphins and pelicans wander by. The fishing is great and the sunsets are spectacular! Michael couldn't be a more gracious host. Fresh towels delivered three times during our two week stay. Just call him for advice on a restaurant or attraction, he knows everyone! This is our second year coming to Matlacha Cottages and we couldn't be more pleased. Restaurants and shops within walking distance, many with live entertainment in the afternoons. Pine Island is close by with a wonderful Winn Dixie grocery store, gas station, and hiking trails. Love it!

Three of us stayed at the Green cottage for five days right after Christmas. The cottage had all we needed and the park-like setting in the backyard pushed this rating to excellent. We started each day sitting out on the deck, which was directly on the water. A dolphin swam by most days and the sunsets were gorgeous. I highly recommend staying here, just please be aware that the cottage is located right on the main road so there is road noise.

Matlacha cottages have a Key West vibe with their bright colors. My husband and I stayed in the waterfront efficiency. Tiny, tiny kitchenette...but I managed to cut up limes for my gin and tonics without much problem!||The dock was a fantastic place to sit or fish. The mullet jumping out of the water is amusing to watch, but the view of the mangroves with the occasional dolphin swimming by couldn't be beat!
