Family-friendly vacation rentals in Matlacha

Beautiful historic home ! Loved the wrap around porch and the hot tub. Great shower ! Loved the coffee and wine and cozy blankets on the couch . Wish we could have stayed longer . Lots of space ! Close to downtown fort Myers

This house was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless—even the baseboards and ceiling fans were immaculate. The home is super spacious, with room to spread out comfortably (even the garage was huge!). The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook indoors or grill outside, and there were multiple dining areas both inside and out. The pool and spa were beyond refreshing—clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by plenty of lounge chairs for everyone. We loved the outdoor eating area and the thoughtful extras like pool toys and bikes, which added a fun touch. My boys especially enjoyed exploring near the canal, which made for some great memories. The beds were super comfy, with plenty of extra linens and cozy throw blankets. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, and the house is in a perfect, central location. The hosts were amazing: extremely responsive and helpful.

Great stay. There were some minor problems but communication was good and things were taken care of.

We had a fantastic stay! The house was incredibly well-equipped—there were plenty of essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, and all the little extras that make a stay comfortable and convenient. The pool and hot tub were both in perfect working order and made for a relaxing time day or night. The canal out back was a real highlight—great fishing with a wide variety of fish, including catfish, gar, and more. The house also came with five bicycles available for tenant use, which was a nice bonus, and there were TVs in every room—perfect for unwinding after a long day. The home felt truly luxurious, especially for the price. Jeff was a great host, and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!

This was our second time at Alex's house. Gets better every year. Alex is very accommodating.

We recently stayed at the Sanibel Harbor condo with our one year old daughter and her great grandma, and we had the most amazing time! Her uncle also joined us for a fun filled Saturday. We can’t say enough great things about this stay. The immediate access to the water via stairs was a huge plus and one of the main reasons we chose this property. It was absolutely beautiful, especially considering how hard the area was hit just two years ago by Hurricane Ian. The restoration and care put into the property truly show. We’re so grateful for the memories made here!

Cute little place. Very quiet neighborhood but only a 5 minute drive to grocery stores and other amenities. My girls enjoyed the pool and the dock for fishing although they didn't get any bites. It was perfect for our small party of 3 for a quick trip to SW FL. Would definitely consider John's place again.

This was a great “home base” for our event at the Heitman House. It was nearby and walkable, with plenty of space for all our guests. The house and backyard were excellent for hosting meals and hangouts, and the place was really well-stocked, making it feel like home and not a random rental. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of linens, including lots of extras so despite being at full capacity for days we didn’t need to go without. I really appreciated the amount of bath and pool towels that were provided! The hosts were responsive and had anticipated many of our questions and needs. Details like the kitchen having multiple coffee makers, and extra bug spray & beach chairs were nice touches.

Location is close enough to bike into downtown FMB and to the Publix, and we did both during our stay! The kids enjoyed the pool. House was stocked with everything you'd need for a day at the beach, which was much appreciated!

We had a wonderful week at Nancy’s place! It was just right for my husband, me, and our small dog. Location is great and it’s an easy walk to the beach! While small, the apartment has all the necessities. We particularly liked that there is a bike rack and the house is beside a bike path.

Had a great stay! We had to change our dates last minute and Rick and Heidi were awesome to work with! Great response time!! It was so close to everything only needed our car once!! Inside was clean with all the necessities! Would recommend and would definitely stay again!!!

Maggie's place was perfect for our family of 5 with 3 teenagers. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, swimming in the pool and loved all the birds and lizards in the back yard. There was an issue with the air conditioner and Maggie was responsive with the issue. The house was comfortable and in a great location to visit Sanibel Island and the Everglades. We would definitely stay at Maggie's place again.

We spent the month of March at this home and enjoyed the experience. With only solar heat we were afraid we wouldn’t use the pool but it was great and enjoyed lots of floats. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor area and beautiful canal views. Everything looked like the pictures. We loved the quiet neighborhood too

we stayed 3 weeks and felt like at home from the first moment on. the house is amazing. very clean. everything is working well. you have all what you need and more. my wife was so happy to see the air fryer. smile. we cooked for ourself most of the time. if I would choose a home for the rest of my live I would choose a one like this. short trip to many restaurants and shops. we loved our stay and will come back for sure. John and Colleen are so friendly and helpful. always available. we will put this stay to the best 3 of our lifetime. we thank John and Colleen so much to make our stay so memorable.

The house was perfect for our family! The pool was definitely the center of entertainment! Thank you!

Loved the house was perfect for peaceful vacation and to relax. Very nice neighborhood. Will definitely stay there again for the next vacation.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was perfect for our vacation and had everything we needed. There was lots of additional stuff - chairs, canoes, play toys for the pool etc. The kids loved the pool! Ann was super responsive! The place was conveniently located close to grocery shopping places and there was also a gym close by.

Wow! Our second stay at Annalena's place was just as amazing as the first! It truly feels like our home away from home. The home shines with cleanliness and brightness. The surroundings are simply stunning! Whether we were enjoying morning coffee on the dock or watching gorgeous sunsets at night, the beauty of the property never failed to impress. A refreshing dip on a hot day or a relaxing float under the sun, the pool added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay. We're already planning our next visit because we just can't get enough! Thank you for sharing your wonderful space with us. Can't wait to be back again! We also want to give a special shout out to Florian, the property manager. His attentiveness and communication made our stay even more enjoyable.

We were 7 in our group and had plenty of space for everyone. Back porch had lots of room to enjoy the spring break weather. House was fully stocked with silverware, plates, cups, and pots and pans.

We were in the area for a baseball tournament and this was the perfect centrally located home. There’s a pool and fishing out back so the kids were busy when they weren’t at the field. Great host, very friendly. We will stay here again.

What a beautiful home! The photos don’t do it justice. It has a very coastal, Hamptons style feel to it. Has everything you need and so many unexpected extras. We brought some things but really didn’t have to. Lots of details down to a coffee bar fully stocked and little things for our fur baby, condiments, drinks, etc. Felt like home. The outdoor space (pool, outdoor kitchen, the view & dock) were the highlight! We loved spending the days swimming and fishing. Did catch mostly catfish (lol) but also caught snapper and other types of fish. Sunsets and the breeze outside were our favorite. Home has a great floor plan with 3 accessible rooms in first floor (very comfy beds) and a very cute second floor with its own living room and bedroom & bath. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. Cooking was great in the fully equipped kitchen. House is a 10 out of 10! Michelle was a very caring host, super responsive and kind. Would highly recommend this home. Can’t wait to return!

We had a fantastic time at this beautiful home! The house was spotless! The view out the back sliding glass door was amazing. Beautiful pool and great canal view. The kids loved the pool and swam for hours everyday. The men in our group enjoyed fishing off the dock. The neighborhood was very quiet but close to everything. There were lots of great tourist destinations within less than an hour drive. The host was quick to answer all questions. There were tons of towels and a nice washer and dryer, which was helpful with so many water activities in the area. The garage housed many beach items, which were so nice to have!

Lisa and Chris's place was wonderful. Their place was clean and beautiful. They had a little welcome bowl of snacks, a couple drinks and even extra sunblock if needed. They also responded very quickly whenever we had any questions and offered a late checkout if needed. Would definitely recommended.

Exactly as it says. Renee is very friendly.
