Right on the water, clean, quiet, and easy check in. Owners sent information via text that covers the process. Large rooms, refrigerator, and microwave. Even with the bathroom being a good sized room the shower is a bit tight for us larger folks....still manageable just a little tight. Located right off the main road its easy to find and get in and out of. Big lanai accessible through the sliding door was a nice surprise. Very happy with our accommodations. read more

I would give this charming touch of Old Florida inn 10 stars if I could. Stayed for a few days in March and it was brilliant and relaxing all at the same time. Janette and Mike are fabulous hosts and innkeepers. The rooms were comfortable with all that is needed for a stay. I was there to just wind down, but there is boating, kayaking and fishing right in your back yard. The lanai was an added bonus. Walkable to some great dining and art shops as well as just to stroll. I cannot wait to go back. read more

One of my favorite FL stays to date! The Inn is just so personable and wonderful. All the colorful decorations and local tidbits transport you to an exotic and relaxing vacation stay. There's screened-in back porches for each room which all back up to one of the many canals of Matlacha. Janette the owner was so down-to-earth and a great person. She was so willing to help with any questions we had. We made our reservation through Airbnb and she was always very quick to reply if I messaged her. We had access to bikes to get around the island, kayaks for the canals, and even firewood at night if we desired to have a bonfire. There was just so much for us to use and all at such a great price per night. It's in the perfect location too- just down a side street off of the main street of Matlacha where lots of shops and eating are, so everything is easily walking distance. Oh, and pet friendly so my kitty cat got to come!!! Just can't say enough good things about this place, and I will 100% be coming back more in the future. read more

Great first impression because shortly after booking in Hotels.com, I received an email from the owners saying they were looking forward to our stay and meeting us. Checkin is at 2 pm, I received a text from Janette and Karl letting us know that our room was ready when we were and where to get our key. As soon as we got to the inn, we were greeted by Jamette and Iffy, her little puppy. My grand daughter was icer the moon getting to hold her. BTW, this is a pet friendly place. There are bikes a d kayaks to use during your stay. They are all in great shake. We were only staying for the night so we didnt get to utilize everything. I saw they rent boats and hane sunset cruises available. This little town is a gem and so much to do if you enjoy live music, great seafood a d eclectic art galleries. Lots of gift shops around too. Bring a fishing pole, you can either fish off the dock or go to the bridge down the street. The owner is absolutely pleasant and shows you around. She is readily available for you. I will be completely honest about this property. These are not handicap friendly , or if you are heavy. The sink and entrance to the shower takes some maneuvering to get between. . The room is very small. It's like a studio. I'd say ok for two adults and two children. The twin sleeper in the room would be wonderful if maybe it had a new mattress or a memory foam topper. I let my daughter and gran daughter sleep on the queen bed, while I took the twin sleeper. It might have suited a small child. I felt the springs in my back all night a d couldnt find any comfortable position There was one small thin pillow in the drawer, in dire need of filling. This is a really cute mom and pop Florida style motel unit, just needs some fine tuning of comfort upgrades in the bedding. There is a nice screen patio to have your coffee in the morning and lounge chairs by the dock. The Wifi is excellent a d there is a nice binder with reccomended things to do and restaurants. This Inn is in a residential neighborhood which makes it ideal. Nice and quite. I've already told a few friends about this gem. I thought at first who would move from the Keys to this town. I now know why. It's a great place to live and visit. read more

Let me start by saying that if you're expecting the Hilton at Miami beach when you arrive you will leave severely disappointed. The entire island is like a trip back in time. To a place where life was simple, relaxing and friendly. The rooms are a little small compared to modern hotels but they are super charming and each one has its own name and decor. Not just the same bland generic crap. Each room has its own screened in patio and view of the canal and park. You can tell the owners put a lot into running the place. They are very friendly and provided us with some great suggestions for activities and meals. We decided to take the kayaks out and experience the water and what a great value! Other local business would have charged us $40-60. They also have bikes though we just walked around the island. If you're looking for a great place to escape the rush of life and nestle into a cozy little vacation this place is perfect. (And if you have to check back in with the real world the internet works very well.) read more

If you appreciate Old Florida charm, this place is the real deal. Everything is worn and kinda tacky, bathroom is tiny and the walls are thin. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Bed's not the greatest and the furniture is rickety. There is a coconut to prop open the bathroom door otherwise the slope in the floor will close it automatically. But, you can dock your boat right out front and the neighborhood and town is so small you can walk everywhere. If you like authenticity, and funky artsy decor, and don't require 5 star amenities, you will love this place. read more

Before I begin, I just want all the readers to know that I NEVER HAVE WRITTEN A REVIEW FOR ANYTHING, BUT I ALSO NEVER HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE LIKE I DID AT ANGLER'S INN IN MATLACHA, FLORIDA P.S.- JANETTE, WHO RATED THIS 5 STARS, IS THE OWNER! HEADS UP *Situation: Booked 3 nights. Had to return to Miami the 2nd day for college class. Planned on returning that night after class (after driving 2.5 hours), but told Janette she could try to rebook our room if we could get a refund for the 2nd and 3rd nights. (we didn't really like it the 1st night, so we didn't care if we came back or not). Since Janette never said she booked the room (even when we explicitly asked her prior to leaving Miami and coming back to Matlacha), we came back to get our money's worth.* The next morning, the owner Janette was completely rude to my friend and I. Her rude awakening at 11am with a loud knock saying "GIRLS ITS 11 TIME TO GO" when we weren't due to check out until the next day was inappropriate. When we tried explaining this to her, her direct quote after cutting me off was "bottom line is, YOU CAN'T STAY HERE". Mind you- this was the morning after we had arrived back at our room at 10:30pm, exhausted, only to find our hotel room door was locked and there was someone else sleeping inside OUR ROOM. Janette claimed it was a "miscommunication" but our back and forth text communication clearly states we would be returning later that night if she was unable to rent out our room. *see photos* She was supposed to NOTIFY us if she rented the room. So we clearly asked her before heading back to our room if she had rented it and her answer was "??" as if she didn't understand English. When we arrived to find our room occupied by someone else, luckily there was another open room where we could sleep until Janette would so rudely burst in in the morning AND LITERALLY KICKED US OUT FOR NO REASON. WE HAD PLANNED ON STAYING FOR 3 NIGHTS! Since we are young ladies, I blame her rudeness on a desire to rip off young girls. I don't think she would have acted this way had we been older adults. My theory is she knew that the other 3 rooms were checking out, and wanted to trick us into coming back and filling a room... a room which is highly over priced for the quality to begin with. Speaking about quality of the rooms, the first room we were in (Room 4), had only scalding hot water in the shower. The cold water spicket didn't even turn so the only option was to get burnt by using only the hot water side. The television didn't work in Room 4. The room smelled like a dirty mop and was old and dingy. The "Captain's Quarters" (Room 1) which we were forced to stay in the second night had stained sheets and the toilet did not flush. Also old and dirty, with dust caked on everything. The owners advertise that there are bikes you can use. Literally every single bike had broken or flat tires and were completely rusted. Couldn't even use them. The photos show a tandem bike, which doesn't exist at the hotel. This was the biggest waste of money I have literally ever experienced. Janette ruined our entire week, which was supposed to be a farewell trip for two best friends from childhood before we get separated across the country due to our jobs. SHE RUINED WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RELAXING WEEK BEFORE TWO BEST FRIENDS, LIKE SISTERS, ARE ABOUT TO BE SEPARATED BY THOUSANDS OF MILES. I am still so LIVID that I had to post our experience with this place. I tried complaining to the Better Business Bureau, but turns out they aren't even certified. BIG SURPRISE. I am sure Janette will try to 'explain herself' and make it look like this was my fault. Listen, I work in customer service myself and this is NOT how you run a business. This is how you trick young college girls into funding for your Lexus payment. read more

Anglers Inn - this is actual evidence that we were never notified, even after explicitly asking, that our room was rebooked. so much wasted time and money - Vacation Rentals Near Me - Matlacha, Florida

I am so sorry I haven't written this before now, but I would be remiss if I did not tell you what a great time we had at Angler's. It had been almost 2 years since I had seen my sister, so we booked one of the rooms here for a "Sister only weekend". We left our husband at home! The Ritz it is not, but what is lacking in 4 star accommodations, it has 4 stars in unique! It was clean, comfortable and Jeannette and Karl, in just 2 days, made us feel like family. They were such fun and entertaining. I would highly recommend Angler's Inn for a "kick off your shoes and pop a top" stay! Thank you Jeannette and Karl, we will be back (maybe with our husbands or maybe not)! read more

Quaint Keys like village. Loved all the colors and Keys decor in rooms. Owners Karl and Janette are the perfect hosts. Comfortable kitchenette with screened porch leading to dock. Walk to shops and dining. Great nature viewing. Pelicans seem to come by same time daily. So relaxing with laid back hosts. Thank you! read more

We have visited Matlacha several times and Angler's Inn Motel offers the best accommodations. Each room is a efficiency with everything you need. No stove but hot plates are provided or you can cook on the big grill just outside the rooms. It's the quietest place to stay being off the main road. The new owners live on site and have really improved the units with quiet Central Air Conditioners. There is free dockage for our boat which is right outside the room with a screened back porch. The rooms are pet friendly so we bring the dogs along too. One guest had a rabbit with them. There is a floating dock with kayaks and a canoe available to use also. They have free bicycles too but we usually walk since our room is close to everything. The fishing in Matlacha is great. Matlacha Pass and Pine Island Sound are loaded with redfish, snook and tarpon. A lot of folks just fish off the drawbridge and catch tons of fish there too. You can see lots of porpoise from the bridge or park pier. It's easy to get to the shelling beaches of Cayo Costa, Boca Grande, CAPTIVA, and Sanibel from here too. The beaches and Cabbage Key are about a 30-45 minute boat ride away. Can you tell we LOVE Matlacha ? It's Old Florida... Elvis Presley filmed "Follow Your Dream" here. It's paradise. Anglers Inn won't disappoint you. read more

I have never posted a comment on any site, but I had to do it now because I read the review that that woman and her friends left for Angler's Inn and it is untrue. I saw that she went from site to site making her slanderous comments so I am sure that this is just an angry "millennial" who has a personal vendetta against them. It sounds like she is jealous of the owner or maybe they are used to 5 star resorts? So with that being said, my girlfriend and I stayed at the Angler's Inn over the New Years holiday. We stayed because one of our friends from Maryland recommended it to us. Our room was super cool, we had everything we needed, including a kitchenette, etc. The waterfront room was great because we were able to go out to the dock at night and have drinks while we watched the pelicans hunt for their bedtime snack. Also, the room is walking distance to the town where there are all sorts of galleries, shops, art studios and bars and restaurants. Matlacha is a funky artsy/fishing village and this place sits in the middle of it all. We took daily trips with the kayaks that were available at the motel and one night we sat out and had drinks with the owners and other guests by the fire, which was really nice. The owners are super kind people and very accommodating. They totally went out of their way to make sure that we were all comfortable and had everything we needed to make our trip an awesome one. If you are looking for a 5 star resort, this is not your place. This is a very cool, clean, motel with a fun, Key West beachy vibe. read more
