This was our first time visiting the Everglades. Everglades City was the perfect entry point (with Shark Valley an easy 50 minute drive through Big Cypress). The rental was cute and comfortable and in a great location (nice neighborhood in walking distance to the water, the Rod and Gun Club and other restaurants, visitor center, etc.). We had a minor problem that needed to be fixed and the host was very accommodating, completing the repair while we were away during the day. They thought of every detail and the decor was calm and inviting. We really enjoyed our stay!
