This home was so beautiful, spacious and clean!!! The kitchen was well stocked, the pool was fun and the view of the golf course was gorgeous! The huge garage was wonderful to park our car and bicycles in.
This home was one of the best we have ever rented on vacation.
We stayed in the house a with a group of soccer teammates. The location was great, very close to IMG and the beach. The house was very clean and spacious. Communication was excellent. We would definitely stay there again.
Very nice property in an OK neighborhood with beautiful golf course view. The house is nicely updated and was very comfortable for our group of 12. The only disappointments were a floor that could have been cleaner and a better supply of unbroken pool toys. Overall, we would stay there again, but as a newcomer to VRBO, we would have communicated with the owner more when first arriving at the property because he seemed genuinely interested in making things right.
We were a family of 8. House was nicely equipped with everything we needed to cook, swim and enjoy the week. Everything was very clean and sanitized including bathrooms and linens. The pool toys and beach equipment were a plus and appreciated. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back next summer.
Our stay last week was absolutely wonderful! The home is very welcoming and has plenty of room to relax and enjoy! The furnishings are very nice with indoor and outdoor areas. The owner was super helpful and very communicative with answering questions quickly. Overall, a wonderful trip and I highly recommend this rental!
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful newly remodeled home! It was just our style and we felt right at home. It had everything we needed for young children. Pack and play, high chair, toys, and lots of bunk beds. It has a heated pool for chiller days and calming backyard with a fire pit. Also an adorable elephant tire swing which we will have to get for our own home. The kids loved it. The Family that owns this house truly made it a "home" This is the perfect rental for for a family vacations. Thank for making our 2021 Thanksgiving a memorable one!

About the host
Hosted by Daniel Gomez
We are three brothers who work and live in Orlando, Florida. Each of us is happily married with three children apiece and three fur babies, Nala, Skippy, and Junior.
Why they chose this property
Sarasota became a sweet escape for our families from the hustle and bustle of the city. We enjoy all that this area has to offer as it is central to the most beautiful beaches in the country. We hope that you, too, will fall in love with Bradenton and will continue to make The Cortez Retreat your home away from home.
What makes this property unique
This home gives our families the perfect balance of relaxing poolside and having fun in the sun beachside (just a short drive away). When all fifteen of us visit the home, we love the large layout of the house. We all fit comfortably and never feel like we are invading any one else's space. However, the house is still cozy enough for us to enjoy real quality time together as a family. The location of the home is ideal for us as we are close to world class beaches, incredible gulf front restaurants, and boredom busting outdoor activities for the entire family to enjoy. We have yet to do it all and feel as though we will never run out of things to do! When we are looking to slow down and take it easy we take full advantage of the home's outdoor living area. The kids love swimming in the heated pool as we adults take in the gulf course front views (usually grilling up something yummy on the outdoor grill).
