Spacious family home with the most beautiful open air view.
Our family loved the space and privacy this home provided for each of us. The outdoor living space is unbeatable. Great location to walk downtown. Fishing was great off the seawall. Missed having the dock available, but will be perfect when rebuilt.

The pictures on Vrbo don't do it justice. Great house for a family get together. Lots of water wildlife, including sharks and dolphins. Great fishing as well. The spa and pool are a huge plus. Having kayaks and bikes would be highly recommended. The screened porches are amazing!! It was great to open the sliding doors wide and let the December Florida air into the house without the threat of bugs. Sunsets are spectacular from the 2nd and 3rd story porches. Our family had a great time and would love to be back some day.

Family Fishing Vacation
The house was setup perfectly for multiple families. We loved the pool area and living/ family room is open so we felt like we all had plenty of room. The sunsets are beautiful and as far as fishing we caught bait and fish everyday for a week! Definitely going to make this an annual trip for our family.

This is the perfect house to bring a group of friends to tarpon fish. The house is set up to relax and entertain. And the pool is the perfect place to cool off in the evening. I can’t wait to come back next year.

Beautiful house with amazing sunset’s
Our family loved this house. We had more the enough room for 7 adults and 1 pre teen. The sunsets are amazing at this house. The house is furnished with everything you need. We are able to cook many meals in the spacious kitchen. The owners really thought of everything. The elevator was nice to have for our mom that uses a walker and couldn’t take the stairs. The island is beautiful and the people are super friendly.

Fantastic!!
What a great property and host! This property was better than we could have imagined! We didn't want to leave! The property was very clean. The pool and dock were awesome! We spent most of our vacation in the pool and fishing from the dock! There are no words to describe the sunset view from this house! So many things to do and places to eat within walking distance! I would give this house 50 Stars if possible. We are already planning our next vacation to Matlacha!

Large beautiful home in Matlacha, beautiful pool, great elevator. Large kitchen with ice maker, great to entertain in. The house is very clean. The living room furniture is showing some wear and tear. We loved our stay. Check in was smooth as silk. Instructions were clear with check in. There are multiple porches where you can enjoy your coffee every morning.

WONDERFUL HOME EXCEPT....
We loved the property. Very spacious. Great location, beautiful views and sunsets. The property was in very good shape. Fully stocked kitchen, linens, towels, etc... Very nice pool and spa. WARNING: THE GARAGE FLOOR IS DANGEROUS IF YOU HAVE WET FEET OR SHOES. I FELL ONCE, ALMOST TWICE, MY ADULT SON FELL AND OUR YOUNGEST GRANDSON ALSO FELL. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT!!!!!

Location and home itself were great. Main floor furniture uncomfortable.
Home was clean and in a great location. Restaurants in walking distance. Neighbors nice. Furniture on main floor living area was uncomfortable/worn/lumpy. Layout of furniture not conducive to watching tv. Other than seating at kitchen counter island, no other inside dining table to play games/cards inside. Hot tub jets did not work after 2nd day and never repaired by owner during our week stay. Bedding (bedspreads) seemed old/outdated/dirty. Could be a 5 star if fix areas that need updated.

Great for larger groups
We had 9 of us from Michigan staying. Spacious living and bedroom areas, large decently equipped kitchen, screened decks on main level and upper master bedroom. We enjoyed the pool and spa daily with the great 80 degree weather we had. Had an issue with a toilet not flushing properly on the first day. Response from the owner was quick and it was fixed the next day. Being right on the water we saw dolphins on multiple days. Would consider renting again if we have a large group.

Family Celebration at Kokopelli
My husband and I were delighted to share our 50th wedding anniversary with our children and grands at Kokopelli over Thanksgiving week. Our host, Dallas was most helpful and accommodating. The home was fresh and spacious, and offered plenty of seating on each level to fit our needs perfectly. I was particularly impressed with the well-appointed kitchen offering a large variety of dishes, tools, appliances, supplies and amenities… along with plenty of supplies in the baths and laundry. The dock was perfect for mooring the deck boat we rented on Pine Island. We all enjoyed splashing around in the sparkling pool and spa, especially in the evening watching the sunset over the pristine gulf and nature preserves. Everyone agreed our time together at this lovely venue felt like our own private slice of paradise.
