My family of four (kids age 5 and 3) had one of the best vacations ever here! My husband had great fishing out in the bay while the kids and I swam our hearts out! The property is well maintained and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked; we had everything we needed and more. The location provides an easy drive to the beach, shops and restaurants. We all agreed we would love to come back!

We traveled by boat from St. Pete to the "cottage on the canal" - easy ride. Very easy check-in. House was clean and well decorated. The house is close to restaurants, beach and shops. We plan on doing the trip again - it was the perfect little weekend get-away.

This home is absolutely beautiful. Listing photos do not do justice to how spacious this home is. The pool felt amazing especially after a long day out on the boat. The outdoor space is perfect, and my kids loved fishing the canal day and night! Check in process was super easy and the neighborhood is quiet. Located close to everything. Will definitely be staying here again.

Excellent stay. Spacious home was very clean, nicely furnished, and well stocked for our 3 week visit. Heated pool, which we used almost daily, was a highlight. Host was very responsive to minor concerns we brought to her attention.

Check in was a breeze, the property was exactly as listed. Clean and comfy. We reported a screen from the pool surround came off in the storm and Maureen responded immediately. The convenient location to many places in Cortez, and one of the main ways to get to the island make it a great locale. The kids loved the pool, and we loved the quiet neighborhood.
