Take a short stroll to Palma Sola Bay for serene views, picnicking, kayaking and a boat launch. Find the best seafood in the quaint local restaurants in the Cortez Commercial Fishing Village, several great boutiques, and Tyler's Homemade Ice Cream just around the Corner.

The historic Cortez fishing village is very close and if you cross the Cortez bridge onto Anna Maria Island, you can get to the sparkling Gulf waters within minutes. Once you're on the Island, take Anna Maria's free trolley for great shopping and dining options.

The location was within walking distance to a really good breakfast place and shop. It was nice and clean and suited us well for the time we needed. We were able to drive to the beaches for the day and found some good eating places. We enjoyed our stay.

This is the best place I’ve stayed at so far. The host was superb, and the apartment had everything—and then some—that you need to enjoy a truly relaxing vacation. It’s a quiet, private spot. I know it might sound silly, but the bed was absolutely the best! I have absolutely nothing negative to say; I will definitely be back. I loved it, and I recommend it 1000%!Yes have all the amenities they listed. Thanks candy.

We can’t say enough about how pleased we were with our place. The location is close to the bridge to get to the beach, yet quiet and peaceful. Breezes and light flow through the windows. The birds entertained us as we enjoyed the deck. Our hosts were extremely nice and accommodating. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. Our bed was very comfortable. No problems whatsoever. We can’t wait to return!

Doug and Candy were the perfect hosts. The unit was fully stocked--there was nothing that we needed. The bed was super comfortable, and came with extra pillows which you don't find in a lot of rentals. Plenty of towels including beach towels. The outdoor space was very nice for enjoying your favorite beverage especially in the morning and early evening. The location was perfect--very close to the beaches of Anna Maria Island and LECOM Park for spring training. We highly recommend renting this unit.

The neighborhood was so quiet and close to all the great beaches. The home was decorated beautifully and was very comfortable and clean. I dropped a few pieces of clean clothing whiledoing laundry the night before our flight, and the owners took the time to leave them on our porch very early the morning of our departure! Perfect property with great owners, we will definitely stay again!

Excellent location to be close to downtown and the beaches. Clean apartment, quite area, generous towel and toilet paper supply. However, I rate 4 stars because the AC could not be turned below 74 degrees (or the unit would freeze up per the instructions).

Great location and nice accomodations.

This was a terrific choice. Close to beaches and water sports activities without the high price of being on the island. The property was neat and clean, and everything was very well organized from check in to check out.
