House was clean and the pool was warm. Very close drive to the beaches but renting bikes is the way to go to avoid the long lines of traffic. Pool area to the dock is a little slippery as it is just small stones and no steps. We took a couple of falls
We really enjoyed our stay! The home was clean and came equipped with everything needed to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. Would highly recommend :)
This house was well stocked with everything we needed to have a wonderful vacation. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioner worked well considering how hot it was outside.
This was a great little house for our family. There was plenty of room. My kids loved the pool outside. The neighborhood was nice and was also quite.
Great stay!
My adult children, husband and I had a great stay at your place. We have stayed in this area before but enjoyed your house much more. So close to Anna Maria and all our favorite restaurants. We loved the pool and water view when we were not at the beach.Thank you,Carey
Amazing vacation. House was awesome. Fully stocked with all amenities. Great location. Pool was warm and beautiful. Owners communicated quickly regarding AC issue. Owners were Very considerate. They dropped off 2 bottles of wine to make up for any AC inconvenience. Would definitely stay again!!!
Property was very nice. A few issues. The toaster was broken and the water filter in the refrigerator was outdated.
After contacting our property contact person the issues were taken care of within 24 hr. Very good service. The pool was very nice also!
This property was exactly what we needed for a quick weekend getaway. It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The best part was the super convenient location, with all that Anna Maria Island has to offer just a very short drive away. A few minor things looked like they were in slight disrepair (screen porch door, outdoor furniture, garage door) but the interior was otherwise pretty immaculate. We had a little miscommunication with the property manager regarding checkout, but resolved it pretty quickly and did not impact our stay. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to enjoy the area without actually being on the island.
We checked in on a Wednesday and sadly my teenager woke up Thursday morning with a cold. The last thing that you want to happen the first full day of vacation. But, the way the house was laid out she could rest comfortably while we still were able to make the most of it, until the rest of us got her cold… then we were thankful for comfortable beds and easy to use televisions. We made the most of our trip and have great memories. The amazing woman across the canal, Chasten Whitfield, (a professional fisherwoman) came over to help our 8 yr old set up her fishing pole. She caught some catfish right in the canal and thanks to Chasten we knew not to touch them! We had minor things come up, a drain was clogged, sliding screen door fall off the track, and two outlets were not working. The property manager was so quick and helpful. We truly appreciated her help!
Overall we made the best of a bad situation and even though it was not the vacation we hoped for, the pool was amazing while we were able to use it, the bedrooms were comfy and the house was clean and well stocked.
We had a few requests that they graciously helped us out with and we look forward to staying here again when we are all healthy.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PROPERTY!!
Very nice stay in a nice, quiet home at a channel in Cortez. We had a great time for 7 days in Dec / Jan. Great time to spend your vacaction. The team was very responsive even when something was missing (thank you so much, Ruth!).
This is Cortez hidden gem! Loved everything about this place and our stay! Clean, as described and more! Would definitely book again. Thank you for sharing your home with us for a great family vacation!
We had a relaxing extended weekend stay with our teens while playing in the IMG tournament. Very clean home and in a quiet neighborhood. The layout of the home worked perfectly for us & the beautiful pool area was used as often as possible!
Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
The property manager was helpful. the host is a company.the place was dirty and the bed fitted sheets & pillow cases all need replacement - disgustingly stained. we were appalled upon leaving the place.price should include heated pool. this should not cost extra, nor should a customer be required to manage this ammenity.
We had a great Stay here The house is perfect very clean exactly as it’s stated. Everything you could need in the kitchen All the rooms were spotless. Pool was perfect The boat dock was great for our boat nice and easy for docking and getting out to the inland water way. The house is in the perfect location for Anna Maria and Bradenton. Keep and eye out for Eddie the egret he will visit in the morning and evening for his daily fix of crab he lets you feed him Overall the house is perfect in many ways We will definitely be back next year Oh and the beds are so comfortable
Stayed 15 nights in May 2025

House was dirty and not worth what we paid.
I rarely give negative reviews but I feel it is necessary here. We were disappointed with the overall condition and cleanliness of the unit for what we paid. Furniture is uncomfortable, house was NOT clean. Open first aid kit with wrappers in kitchen cabinet, shower had mold, used napkins and left over food under kitchen trash can, stains on comforter, cigarette wrappers in dining area, cushions on outdoor furniture do not fit furniture and master BR is hot compared to the rest of the house. On a positive note, Kitchen was updated and well stocked and pool was nice. Most likely will not rent again for the $$.
