We had a great stay. Jackie was so helpful and the check in and out process was smooth. We swam in the pool, fished off the dock, and enjoyed near by restaurants and ice cream shops. We can’t wait to come back!
The property was well equipped, the host was amazing and very helpful. We loved the location and the lay out of the property. The pool was extremely nice, and the outside area was enclosed and absolutely wonderful. I can not think of a single thing that was not above par. We will be returning and using this host and property for sure.
We wanted to escape the winter chill and spend time with our family over the holiday. Communication was great, amenities were amazing, I only wish we could have stayed longer. We will certainly be back.
The property Ideally located to everything you could want while on vaction, shopping, dinning, beaches, water sports and other vacation adventures.
The covered pool and patio area was perfect for those like me who prefer to lounge poolside vs at the beach.
Jacquelyn was amazing and Very helpful, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was max-enjoyable!
This property had a little bit of everything that met all of our family needs and wishes! Heated and enclosed pool with fun floats, right on a canal where we fished and observed all kinds of creatures, two kitchens and living areas and plenty of space to move about! Would highly recommend to any family considering a stay in this area!
We had a small family group, along with my little dog, and this was the perfect place! We fished from the dock, cooked on the grill, and enjoyed both the patio beneath and the balcony patio. The heated pool was the best! The location was very close to beautiful Bradenton and Anna Maria Island beaches in a quiet neighborhood. Jackie was the most wonderful host! We will definitely be back for a longer stay!!
It’s an awesome location! The hangout area on the lower level is really cool, and it’s in closed which is so nice. It’s 2 completely separate levels with separate kitchens and bathrooms. Great for 2 families! The pool area is so nice. The canal access for boats and kayaks is so nice. The proximity to the beaches on AMI and Coquina is so nice. The host is so nice. Great property.
Jackie was an amazing and attentive host
She responded to any questions or request within 10 minutes
This location is fantastic and the place had plenty of space and all the amenities!!!!
Highly recommended
5++++ stars!!!!!
Fun weekend for my 93 year old mom and my 6 brothers and sisters. Our place was very very clean. Great location. Pool was great! Jackie was great with communication. We had 4 vehicles and there was plenty of parking.
We stayed with a large group and young kids. Pool is perfect for little ones with a large shallow step. Boat ramp onsite is extremely convenient, plenty of room to park trucks, cars and trailers. Having the downstairs kitchen by the pool AND the upstairs main kitchen gave us plenty of fridge space for multiple families. House is located a quick boat ride from Eggmont, Tampa Bay, and lots of inshore fishing. Jackie was extremely responsive and proactive. We will definitely be back.
My family was very pleased with this property. Between the downstairs open area with its nice lounge space and pool, and the upstairs TV room, this place enables a vibrant atmosphere to spend time with others. As boat owners, it was nice to be right next to the canal with direct access to the sea.
Both kitchen spaces were surprisingly well equipped with tools and quality appliances.
Thank you, Jackie, for letting us stay here!
Jackie is an amazing host
We left a cell phone behind and she was gracious enough to go to to UPS and overnight to us
Location is awesome You can walk up the road to the reasturant which is on the water and food is great.
Pictures are accurate.
Ouside pool area the best.
House was great
Stayed with 2 dogs , mom who is 81 and my Brother and sister in law
Amazing time
We were a group of 6 adults that stayed at this property for 6 days. We couldn't have been happier with the location! It was within walking distance of a couple of restaurants and just 1/2 mile across the bridge to popular Bridge Street. It was very well stocked with everything that you need for cooking and grilling. Our favorite place was the outdoor pool space with plenty of seating and dining, which was perfect! The owner was very, very easy to work with and very responsive! Highly recommend this property!
Great place with two separate sleeping areas that are perfect for 2 small families to share. The pool area is awesome, and having a private boat ramp and dock on the property made it a 10 out of 10. We brought our 25ft pontoon boat and used it everyday. We had the A/C quit in the top unit, but a phone call late at night to Jackie, and she had a repairman there first thing the next morning. Would stay there again 100%.
This house was perfect for us. I traveled here with my husband, 18+ aged children, and my 60+ aged parents. The location was spot on with beaches a 5 minute drive away, restaurants within walking and bicycling distances, and entertainment right over the bridge. The pool was perfect for first morning dips and evening relaxation! The house was clean and well kept with everything you need. The neighborhood was quiet and and friendly. Check-in/out was easy and Jackie (owner) was great to communicate with! We will definitely stay here again!
Great stay in Cortez. Walking distance to restaurants on the water. Clean. Good neighborhood. On a canal w/ a boat ramp and dock. Plenty of parking. Host was excellent. 3 minute drive to the beach. Basically 2 places in 1. The separated 1st floor is like a big nice apartment. Perfect for multiple guests who want a little privacy. Nice pool and porch area. Definitely will stay there again!
Excellent experience for the whole family! This rental has something for everyone! Pool for the kids, dock for your boat with super easy access to the bay! Within a mile of the beach! Home is big enough for everyone with even a separate downstairs one bedroom complete unit! Immaculately clean, with all kinds of extras. And Jackie is the best! She communicates extremely well and is so helpful and enthusiastic about making sure you have a great stay. I can’t say enough good things about the experience! We will be back soon.
