Perfect place for our family of 4 and dog. Walk out the door go left to the bay or right to the beach! Piers to fish off and so much wildlife right there in the water! House was clean and had everything we needed, owners very responsive and the pool was fantastic. Within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and market. Will be coming back here to make more memories!

Cortez Beach with Pool

This location was wonderful. Cortez Beach was across the street and the pool and hot tub provided the additional fun to the location. The owner provides all the water toys and even camp chairs to use at the beach. Restaurants and historic Bridge Street is approximately 1/4 mile away.

Glad "the pool area was awesome. all of the toys-paddle boards kayaks bikes ping pong etc. were awesome. location was great." The A/C units are documented in the listing. Most folks like white noise while sleeping so very surprised by the 3-star rating when everything else was "awesome" and expectations were set through the listing... Also, I had HVAC folks evaluate central air and they said it was practically impossible to install in our lovely 1950 bungalow. Rex

The Cortez resort was fantastic! My wife and I really enjoyed the house and the back patio/pool. Kids also loved it, really enjoying the pool. It's a stones throw to the beach and a short walk to Bridge street stores, restaurants, and pier. Rex had his place very clean and offered all essential amenities - cookware, grill, books, internet, and cable tv. We hope to be back!

Very clean, perfect space and location, only negatives is that there is a unit above us and you could hear every footsteps that they took while we were there they were families above us with little ones and that was a distraction, and the other negative in the evening time we’d like to wind down with the television and fall asleep, but they were Wi-Fi issues with the television other than that it was a good place to stay

Location of the property was perfect to accessing the beach. A short walk away and you found yourself with an array of options for dining, shops and restaurants! Lots to do right around the corner. Rental property provided a lot of options to keep you busy as well from the bikes, kayaks and paddle boards. We found the pool to be our favorite spot for the weekend.
