Perfect Everglades Location

We spent three nights at Cypress Cottage and had a great time. The property itself is super clean, modern and has all we needed for our short stay with an excellent location and awesome views onto Everglades (great to see wildlife from the windows and deck). Location was good for local activities but bear in mind there is no ‘proper’ supermarket for 30 mins so come stocked! Loved our stay would highly recommend

Winter get away

This is our second stay at the "Cypress Cottage" and we love it. Location is fantastic, the house is amazing, the host is great. We can't say enough good things about the community. This is a Florida hidden gem. Our favorite part is bringing fresh caught fish to any of the local restaurants, having them cook it fresh and having a cold drink. 10 out of 10.

Reviving Everglades City

You can tell how lovingly and stylistically Cypress Cottage was designed and built. From the modern yet rustic charm of the outside to the way the water's reflection cascades across the living room and kitchen ceilings during the morning hours, you can how much thoughtful detail went into this home. Modern amenities such as Nest thermostat, smart TV's and digital door lock made us (a family that works in tech) feel at ease. The home was spotless and shout out to the local housekeeper for not only maintaining the home's cleanliness but saving us from desperation when we locked ourselves out the house (and the passcode to get back in was on our phone, inside of the home). Perfect for fishing and relaxing on the dock. We were able to dock a 22 ft boat there but be warned that you want to wait until the tide comes in after 10am before shoving off. Pay no attention to complaints about water pressure. South Florida is notoriously bad with water pressure. Yes, this home is located on a main road, but it is NOT a busy one. There is literally one road in and one road out of this town of 380 people. No stores for 25 miles so either stop before arriving (before jumping on the 41 in Miami) or drive north to Naples (easy drive but it will still take you 20 minutes to get there). Don't count on the good food reviews for local eateries. Dining out in Everglades City is not worth the $$$$ or gastrointestinal aftermath.

Wonderful house!

We loved the Cypress Cottage. It was super clean and even prettier than the pictures. It was a great home base for exploring the area. We loved walking down the street for dinner at the Camellia Street Grill and we also really enjoyed the nearby National Parks boat tour of the Ten Thousand Islands.

Great location!

Enjoyed the location, ease of access, quality of property, and beautiful scenery! We didn’t catch anything off the dock with artificials but seemed to always be trying during low tide, I’m sure there’s great fishing during high tide for sure! Great local restaurants to check out as well. Thoroughly recommend this house and would consider staying again!

Relaxing Oasis

This property was a really neat place for our family to stay. My boys wanted to fish and they were able to right off the dock. We had so much wildlife around us which was really neat. The owner was very responsive. We clogged a toilet and the cleaning person came by the same day and took care of it and brought us more supplies for our stay.Full transparency - the mosquitoes are bad. We were there in July, which is the rainy season and you couldn't be outside at dawn or dusk without bugs on you. Locals said it is better in the fall/winter. We enjoyed an awesome trip with Everglades City Airboat tours. The best out there. My kids loved it! My husband and sons went out with Captain Bobby with Waterboy Charters for a 6-hour fishing trip and they really loved it. Came back with some really good fish!

Wonderful place in the Everglades

I beautiful home overlooking a river and the edge of the Everglades. My family loved starting the day having breakfast gazing out the picture windows and the fish jumping in the water. The home has everything we needed to be comfortable and is located in a beautiful small town where we could easily grab food from a restaurant or groceries. We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay for our visit to the Everglades.

Great family space

As soon as we entered the house our grandson said “This is a 5 Star for sure.” We loved this house. The wall of windows on the back of the house overlooking the River and dock/deck below was great. So much light and beautifully updated. We wished we were staying longer.
