Our stay was terrific in every way. Our family of four adults enjoyed the pool and hot tub and dock and fishing and waterfall immensely. This place has everything you need for beach days on AMI too. Starfish Company and Tide Tables restaurants are a few minutes walk away and have fresh delicious fish. It was definitely a relaxing vacation and so enjoyable!

This property was amazing!! Warmest and most beautiful pool we’ve ever had on vacation. The inside of the house was cute and clean but a little cramped for 2 families. Everything was well stocked and organized well. We spent very little time indoors as the outside amenities were top notch and well thought out! Outdoor bathrooms, bar, tv, lounging areas and eating area lacked nothing! We had such a fun relaxing stay and definitely have it on our list of places to return to. We also enjoyed the dock and kayaks but wished there was a little more view of the water from the yard, but also realized the high shrubs offered protection from the winds which was nice. Beautiful place to stay !

The very best vacation property we’ve ever rented! In Florida it is all about the outside and location and this house and area felt like home the minute we arrived! Back yard and spaces were like being at a high end resort. Pool was always warm without having to fiddle with a control, spa worked as it should ( we seem to always have trouble at other homes). Inside was cozy and had a great living room area to curl up and relax in. The view out the kitchen window was the best!! Every morning there was a big bird waiting for us standing at the pool, and all day there were long legged drop-by birds who landed and hung out by the pool! It felt so tropical. The dock and views of the fishermen at work in their marina and the restaurant with outside seating was fun to see! We can’t say enough good about this place. Thank you to our host!!!!

We had a great stay. Loved being on the gulf with our own resort style pool. The house was very clean and welcoming. My wife and daughters loved fishing off the dock. They caught speckled trout, ladyfish, catfish and snook. Everything is within a short drive. Also a number of restaurants are within walking distance. We would stay here again.

We traveled here (family of 4) to celebrate our son’s college graduation! We selected the property based on the relaxing, resort-style backyard & proximity to AMI. The house is tucked away in a working class fishing village. The home was clean. The highlight was the backyard! The pool, waterfall, jacuzzi, waterfront & landscape set the stage for a peaceful retreat. This is our second visit to the area & would rent this property again in the future. A little hidden gem!

Perfect getaway!
The cottage is darling and the back yard and pool is absolutely incredible. We loved being able to walk to Starfish Co. and Tide Tables for meals. Best restaurants around. While the property isn’t on AMI, it is just a few hundred yards away. We’d love to visit this property again.

Great spot to relax
We have never stayed in Cortez after several trips to Ana Maria. I have to say that the experience was great. The houses old Florida. Very clean and comfortable. The outdoor space was fantastic. A large pool with chairs in the water at the shallow end along with umbrellas for shade. The property has its own dock with views of the fishing village on both sides. We spent most of our time there during the week. We’ll definitely go back.

Super cute cottage w kayaks
We visited w our 4 children and in laws for kayaking, beach adventures, nature walks and museums. The house is adorable, tastefully decorated and well appointed with enough towels and dishes for 8, comfy beds, limited steps, and responsive AC. The pier/dock is so fun and the lawn is nice and flat and the kids found coconuts and mangoes. The walk in shower with skylight made experiencing pre dawn sunrise shower in prep for shelling fun! The master suite "door" does not close which is not conducive to master bedroom activity lol, so we had to prop it closed over and over with a box. The place is obviously well cared for but has a slight smell most would not even notice but we are all uber sensitive and all reacted w sinus/allergy. Being on the water it may be unavoidable. Great stay and great memories!!

Great Place to stay
What a great place to stay! This house was incredibly well stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed plus it was well stocked with spices etc. The house came with bikes, watersports, hoses, etc. I have never rented a house with that many "extra's" which was such a nice surprise. We will be back to this house!
