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.

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 place is perfect to bring a group down to go tarpon fishing. Just a great setup with an easy going property manager.

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.

Had a fantastic stay, the house is perfect for a larger group on a Team Building Fishing Trip. The house is outfitted extremely well with everything you need and the pool is a great way to cool off after a long day catching giant snook!

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!

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!!!!!

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.

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.

House was perfect for our group, incredible views from the back porch and the open concept made spending time together easy. Everything you could possible need was available in the kitchen. Great property we will be booking again for next year

We had a great time in Matlacha. The house was beautiful and very spacious. We had plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked so we cooked in several nights. We enjoyed the view from the balconies. We saw plenty of dolphins and manatees. We were not able to enjoy the pool because the water was too cold but we did enjoy the hot tub! We plan to return to Matlacha and hopefully stay at Kokopelli house again.

The Kokopelli Home provided a wonderful base for a week of exploring Matlacha, Pine Island and the surrounding waters of the bays. The kitchen was as fully equipped with pots, pans, and other cooking equipment as our own home and much more complete than any other rental we’ve ever leased! Having two screened porches was also a plus; we were able to enjoy the morning and evening breezes while enjoying the views (the neighborhood out walking in the morning and the sunset over the water at night. Good restaurants within walking distance and great fishing only added to the likelihood that we’ll be back next year!

Great House!
The house was very clean and offered wonderful views! This was our first trip to this area of Florida. We typically stay on Lido Key or St. Petersburg. We rented a boat for the week and found that it was a little tricky navigating the waters around Matlache. It can get very shallow very quick in many areas. There is some very good fishing in the area. the best areas to fish required quite a long boat ride to get too, as did the beaches.
We did have one incident with the property management group that was uncomfortable. While my friend and myself were out fishing our wives stayed back at the house. They were on the back porch and a man from the property management group showed up in the backyard. He said he knocked on the door and when no one answered he went through the garage into the backyard. It made my wife and my friends wife very uncomfortable. If there was no answer when he knocked we felt the management company should have called before just entering.
Other than that short incident it was a great trip!

Wonderful home and experience
Matlacha is a wonderful area. Charming with shops and restaurants. Terrific home for a large family or combined family. Separate upstairs suite was perfect for our family of three. Middle floor perfect split model for teens and adults. Owner provides all the amenities plus. Dock fishing was fun and dolphins came swam by many times. One day a dolphin came and hung out at the dock for 15 minutes. Great home and awesome management company. Dave and Steve were helpful and highly responsive. We had a n emergency mechanical issue with the washer and they did our laundry for us so we weren't ever inconvenienced. We think this is the best house we have ever rented in Florida. Enjoy a great and relaxing vacation. We give it 5 stars for sure.
