About the host
Hosted by Missy Vitt
My husband and I reside on a farm in Northeast Missouri. As we got older the winters seemed to get colder. Our goal was to find a relaxing area far enough south to escape the cold as much as possible.
Why they chose this property
After a long search of coastal areas from Texas to Florida we settled on Matlacha. We visited many beautiful areas but something about Matlacha called to us both. The bright colors and friendly people coupled with the quiet relaxing atmosphere made this our unanimous choice! World class fishing and walk ability of the island only made the decision better.
What makes this property unique
Our cottage is far from luxury. Instead it gives a comfortable homey feel. The amenities are arranged in a way to allow for maximum enjoyment with minimal effort. Being in the tropics makes us want to spend as much time as possible outdoors. We have tried to create a outdoor space that checks all our boxes for comfort and enjoyment.
