Gulf Coast Retreat
Beautiful new home within a few minutes drive to Anna Maria Island. it's just across the bridge from the island so great for a morning run to the beach. The house is new in a new neighborhood. Everything was clean and uncluttered. Definitely recommend and would stay again.
Hidden Gem | Studio | Wi-Fi | Parking | Near Beach
This place was a wonderful little getaway. Very close to grocery stores, pharmacies, in case you forget something. It’s 20 minutes to the beaches, so you’re getting a good deal if you want to save some dough, but still be close to AMI. The only thing, is that the shower is not that big. I’m over 6ft, so just be mindful of your head. King size bed is comfy, beach towels provided were a bonus. Yeah great place to stay!
Sea Breeze Retreat 2b2b (A) close to IMG and Golf
Booked last minute, needed something close to a job that provided the basic needs. Maria responded right away with very helpful instruction. Check in was very easy. Maria’s place exceeded my expectations. Very clean and nice place to stay and was the cheapest in the area. Would highly recommend booking with Maria.
Boater's Waterfront Retreat
I truly enjoyed staying at Boater’s Waterfront Retreat. The house was very clean and well equipped. Ann is an excellent host, always available to answer questions and help make recommendations. It has to be by far one of the best places I have stayed through Airbnb. I absolutely recommend Ann’s place and look forward to staying there again.
Canal Front Smart Home near the Beach! -Sea Salt
Overall, the house was great! House was very clean and well kept. It was in great location to walk to the beach and had great outdoor space.
Your Smart Home Escape, Minutes from Anna Maria
It was a beautiful home. It was a bit noisy Friday morning due to the construction of the new development. But the weekend was quieter. I would definitely book again.
Bayview Pointe! Luxury home! Near Anna Maria isle!
We celebrated our daughter’s 17th birthday with her friends in Anna Maria, and it couldn’t have been a more perfect spot. Everyone found something they loved—whether it was the soft white-sand beaches and turquoise waters, waterfront bars and restaurants, or the breathtaking sunsets. Each day ended with a refreshing dip in the pool, a routine we quickly came to love. We’ll definitely be coming back again and again!
2 Mi to Bradenton Beach: Water-View Home w/ BBQ
We had an amazing time, felt very comfortable & the host was very responsive Would forsure go back!

Your guide to Cortez
All About Cortez
Located 30 minutes northwest of Sarasota, Cortez is one of the last remaining active fishing villages on Florida’s Gulf Coast. With seafood restaurants and bait shops on stilts directly over the water, the town has maintained much of its 19th-century charm and authenticity. The smell of fried grouper and mullet fills the air as you meander along the pier watching boats bob in the harbor. Cortez’s historic waterfront has a throwback vibe with souvenir and gift shops next door to beach apparel stores, where you can rent boogie boards and lounger chairs by the hour.
Most people who come here do so to get on the water. Jet skiing, paddleboarding, and kayaking are all popular pastimes, and you can even rent a pontoon boat for a lazy day on the gulf. For a quick excursion, nearby Anna Maria Island boasts vast stretches of pearly-white sand and glittering emerald waters while providing spectacular vistas of Tampa Bay and Sunshine Skyway.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cortez
Throughout the year, Cortez sees relatively warm temperatures and sunny days. Summers are humid and can be rainy, as hurricane season ramps up in August and lasts through November. Winters experience windy and cooler conditions, though the days are still warm enough to spend on the water.
Throughout the year, Cortez hosts several events and festivals that celebrate the town and its heritage. The Annual Stone Crab Festival takes place in October and features live music, local art vendors, and fresh seafood. In February, the village hosts its annual Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival, a two-day event that showcases the state’s commercial seafood industry and features fishing boats, gear, workshops, and arts and crafts vendors.
Top things to do in Cortez
The Florida Maritime Museum at Cortez
Learn about Florida’s seafaring legacy at the Florida Maritime Museum, which features exhibits and offers classes that teach a variety of skills, including knot tying, sailing, and the art of constructing a fishing rod. The museum spotlights the significance the fishing industry has had in shaping Florida’s traditions and culture through the present day.
Anna Maria Island
Anna Maria Island is just a quick drive or shuttle ride away and is home to a handful of pristine white-sand beaches. The gentle shallows and glistening waters make a great backdrop for a day in the sun minus the crowds. Be aware that there are no equipment rentals on Anna Maria Island, so you’ll need to pack what you want to use or get your gear from Cortez before heading over.
Cortez Beach
Cortez Beach boasts gentle waves, warm, clear waters, and a long stretch of white sand sheltered by dunes blanketed in vibrant green shrubbery. Cortez Beach is ideal for beachcombing, sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. The beach is more secluded and tends to be less crowded than some nearby beaches. Keep an eye out for the many seabirds that are usually frolicking near shore.
