Cayo Costa State Park hotel rooms a the Independent

"Friendly staff. Lovely beach and pool"

"All employees were very helpful and nice. "

"Looking for an inexpensive place near the barrier islands. As the name implies it’s a bit off"

"The property was very quiet, which it was great for me and my family, we needed it! We were able to celebrate my child's 14th birthday with what he likes the most, the beach and the pool and of course, food!"

"Extremely clean and staff is always friendly. This is our third time staying at this hotel at different times of year and durations. "

"Top notch resort with amazing pool and bayfront views of Sanibel!"

"It was absolutely a beautiful place!!!"

"Great place and location "

"We absolutely loved our stay at Matlacha on Shoreview! Tucked away and wonderfully quiet, it felt like a true off-the-beaten-path retreat. The staff went above and beyond—so friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We especially enjoyed the complimentary kayaks for exploring the water and really appreciated having laundry facilities available during our stay. A special highlight was the Memorial Day reception with delicious snacks and beverages—it was such a thoughtful touch that made the holiday feel extra special. This place is a hidden gem, and we can’t wait to come back!"
