Beautiful modern (yet cute!) studio apartment with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Comfortable full-size bed, bathroom with rainfall shower and fluffy towels, kitchenette (fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker and of course a blender for those margaritas). Kick back and relax on your private patio surrounding by swaying banana palms and a lime tree for your margaritas! Gas grill for evening cookouts. Wi-fi and 50" tv with netflix and hulu channels. 'Sea Sprite' studio is situated next to our 'Sunrise' and 'Sunset' duplex one-bedroom apartments (see separate Airbnb listings for Nature Lover's Paradise Sunrise and Sunset apartments). Sea Sprite can be booked independently or booked if you need a second bedroom for guests during your stay in 'Sunrise' or 'Sunset'. Please note that Sea Sprite is not waterfront. We have spent a lot of labor and love renovating this cute Matlacha cottage to a modern standard but wanted to maintain the 'character' of Matlacha. Sea Sprite is a studio apartment with it's own private access and private patio. There is a shared on-site laundry room with washer, dryer and iron/ironing-board for guests use. It's a short leisurely stroll to all Matlacha has to offer - or take one of our complimentary bicycles and go explore. I live locally and can meet and greet my guests (or they can self check-in) and will be available by phone and in-person throughout your stay. The charm of Matlacha is what brought me to live here in 2015. I love nature and thrill at seeing the herons, egrets and woodstorks who visit daily. We are surrounded by preserves and boating and kayaking is wonderful, we always see dolphins or manatees or stingrays. Unique and interesting shops, restaurants and bars are within walking or cycling distance. Sadly, Berts bar has not reopened since hurricane Ian. Easy to walk or cycle as everything in Matlacha is a stone's throw away. We have complimentary bicycles for guest's use. This is a non-smoking property. For the enjoyment of all current and future guests, we cater to non-smokers as smoking is not allowed inside or within the property line. For our guests' peace of mind, we have invested in UV-C light disinfecting units which are used at each cleaning between guest stays. Matlacha was hit by hurricane Ian in September 2022. Our property has been repaired and is rental-ready. Some items of furniture were replaced so will differ from photos. Some restaurants and stores have not re-opened, but several are open to welcome you to our island.
