Old school Florida
Wanted to bring the family down to experience the wilds of the Everglades and spend some time in a part of Florida that hadn’t been turned into a tourist trap. Chokoloskee and Big Blue came through spectacularly. The natural beauty and experiences here are something that will always stick with us. The host Walter was top notch in offering ideas of places to go and things to see, great in communicating with us. We had a snag with our plans on staying elsewhere the night before we were supposed to check in. Messaged Walter the morning before we were supposed to check in and he was able to get us in a day early which was a true lifesaver(wife was going to murder me if we’d have had to sleep in the car). The home was clean, beds comfortable, apppliances all in good working order and new. Nothing but good things to say about our host and our stay. Wife and kids are already trying to plan out our return trip and we haven’t even made it home yet. Location-wise, it’s just a short trip to Marco Island and Naples which were impressive to check out for a day but the real joy for us was the Everglades and the trails and two tracking available to see the abundant wildlife and forbidding beauty of the marshes and swamps. Fishing was excellent as well with both salt and freshwater options available everywhere. Truly enjoyed everything about the trip.

Comfortable accommodations for fishing with a friend
Clean, nicely furnished double-wide, with recent update including new kitchen appliances/large HDTV. Roomy with cold air and plenty of hot water. Comfortable beds with new mattresses. Close proximity to marina with deeded boat dock. Just right for some fishing in 10,000 islands or exploring the nearby area.

Great Stay
I had the pleasure of staying at this VRBO for a fishing trip in the Everglades, and it was truly an amazing experience. The location and the boat slip were both excellent, making it easy to explore both up and down the coast. One of the standout features of this rental is the convenience it offers. The availability of gas, fresh shrimp, a small store, and a lift for getting your boat in and out of the water right at the docks was a big plus. It made our fishing trip hassle-free and enjoyable. "Big Blue" exceeded our expectations. The property was clean, modern, and well-maintained. It had everything we needed for our stay, and more. The hosts, Walter and Margret, were exceptional. They were accommodating and made us feel very welcome. In summary, if you're looking for a fantastic place to stay for a fishing trip in the Everglades, this VRBO is an excellent choice. The location, amenities, and the hospitality of the hosts all contributed to a memorable and enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it.

Perfect getaway
This house was perfect for our needs, we came for the weekend to explore and fish. They have a slip you can leave your boat but we decided to just take the boat in and out everyday because of the tides. The boat ramp we used was just 10-15 min drive to Everglades City. The house was equipped with what you need to cook, like a home away from home. Walter was very communicative, we even chatted with him prior to our arrival.

Perfect Location! Friendly Host!
My family of 5 enjoyed our stay at Big Blue in Chokoloskee Island. The host was very friendly and helpful. The accommodations are not high end, and there were a few things that could use updating but all the basics were covered and it is spacious with an excellent location! We had a fun family vacation.

Over all a great place!
My mother, kids and i decided on a spur of the moment trip to the Everglades. We weren't sure whether or not my husband would be able to fly in or not so we wanted to make sure we felt like we were in a safe area and that the accommodations were clean. We came across this place and the reviews were good so we decided to book it for 3 nights. The property manager was extremely helpful and made great recommendations on what restaurants and activities were in the area. The trailer is older but very clean and had plenty of room for the 5 of us. As it turned out, my husband did fly in and we picked him up on our way through Fort Meyer. The beds were as comfortable as any of the hotels we stayed in on the trip. The ONLY issue we had was the heavy use of febrez or some type of airfreshener. My 9 yr old and I bpth have severe allergies and even the slightest trace of any frangrances cause immediate allergy flare ups. When we first arrived i honestly didn't know if we would be able to stay. The bedding, towels, washrags, etc.. and it was in the air really heavy. We had to wash the towels, bedding, etc.. a few times before my son and i could use them or sleep in the beds. We also had to take quite a few allergy meds while we were there. When the air-conditioning kicked on it did help to clear the air some and it was more bearable the next day. So, if you have allergies you might speak with the property manager ahead of time to prevent the use of those products. Great location too!

Wonderful place!
This was a perfect fit for me and my family. The house was comfortable and clean and large enough for our group of 5 adults. The neighborhood was great and we enjoyed walks and sunset watching. Three of our group went for a 3 day kayaking and camping trip on nearby islands, a big success. Walter was incredibly helpful and responsive to questions I had in advance. I would definitely stay here again.

Big Blue was Perfect
We arrived late and found the unit to be exactly as described and very welcoming. The host Walter was such a font of information and spot on for guidance on things to do and places to eat. Very prompt to answer even the most minute questions. If we hadn't been moving to visit the other side of Florida we well could have stayed the entire 8 days we visited the lovely state.
