Independent, Cayo Costa State Park hotels

"What can I say? It's a slice of paradise in the continental USA. From the location, it's beautiful beaches, the resort amenities (under construction/rehab from recent hurricanes, but still), the property itself and the staff. All wonderful. Local shops and restaurants a quick bike ride, walk or drive away, simply phenomenal. Hidden gem... so hush. "

"We had an amazing stay at the Captiva Island! The place is great, the service was excellent. We truly enjoyed every moment and will definitely come back again. Highly recommended!"

"No complaints. Clean hotel"

"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!"

"Perfect for what I needed."
