Fantastic fishing for Snook, Redfish, Trout and Tarpon is just outside your door. The white sand beaches of Sanibel, Cayo Costa and Captiva are just a short boat ride away. While exploring be sure to stop in at Cabbage Key for your "Cheeseburger in Paradise" made famous by Jimmy Buffet. We offer bicycles to visit "downtown" and all it has to offer; or just walk as all is nearby. Angler's Inn's affordable nightly, weekly and monthly rates will let you rest easily as you dream about the "Big Catch" from the boat just outside your back door screened-in patio. See you soon in our little slice of paradise! Room is equipped with queen bed + sleeper sofa, kitchenette with refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, etc. BBQ Grill is out back for your use also.

Cute. Clean. Great location.

This unit was very clean and cute. The shower was excellent. There was a coffee pot and they provided coffee. (We brought our own) The second bed is really a pull out couch and a little uncomfortable for an adult. The location is awesome. And the best part is they let me bring my dog.

Great place to stay. you can walk to the shops on the island.

Property was clean and had everything we needed. We walked to the coffee shop for breakfast, came back and took a nap or went fishing. Some days we just took a ride on the bike. We walked to the Tiki bar or the Blue Dog. We just rested and enjoyed each other.

Perfect Winter Getaway

Upon arriving at Angler's Inn in Matlacha, we were immediately greeted by the owner and given a tour of the property as well as our room. We loved walking out our back door to the water view and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Would recommend and plan to visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Janette

Host profile image
Born in 1961 - we are travelers and water-bugs. We don't like to sit still and we love to meet new people. One of us is from Mastic Beach (NY) and the other near Baltimore, Maryland. We are members of local charities (Matlacha Hookers, Civic Associations, Elks and Moose) hoping to pay it forward as much as possible. We enjoy scuba diving, backpacking and camping, attending Blues Festivals, Seafood Festivals and just floating on a boat! If we are unsuccessful fishing that day, we just walk over to the seafood store and get some fresh fish from their boat! And, owning a small "Botel" means we usually have a guest room when family comes to visit :-)

Why they chose this property

Raised in and around salt water our whole lives - moving to Matlacha with its Old Florida feel and charm was a no-brainer! We vacationed here in 2007 and staring at retirement, having our little "mom & pop" motel allows us to earn a living and to meet people from all over the glove who want to share our experience of living where time seems to have stood still. We are blessed to have found our slice of paradise.

What makes this property unique

Located in a historic small town that's kitchy, artsy and rural. Off the beaten path, Angler's Inn is on a quiet side street in a nice neighborhood walking distance to shops, restaurants, and pubs. Short drives or boat rides will get you to see other areas on the coast. So much to see, so much to do yet you feel like you've stepped back in time...
