About this property

Coastal Cottage with Incredible Outdoor Oasis Just 2.5 Miles from Gulf Beaches!

**Charming Cortez Cottage: Your Ultimate Family Vacation Haven**

Welcome to the charming Cortez Cottage, your perfect family retreat in Bradenton! Nestled just two miles off the spectacular Anna Maria Island, our home puts you right in the heart of fun, relaxation, and the best seafood in the area.

Families rave about our location: we're within a delightful bike ride to the serene beach or historic Bridge Street, while the famed Cortez Fishing Village, dotted with seafood restaurants, is less than a mile away. Yet, the true magic of our property lies in its vibrant outdoor oasis that has guests returning year after year.

Here, you can bask in the warmth of our heated pool, unwind in the hot tub, and indulge in memorable BBQs with friends and family. "The pool and activities were awesome!" writes one guest. When the sun goes down, gather around the fire pit for starlit chats, or curl up with your loved ones on the couch for movie nights outside - our 65" TV brings the cinema to you.

Young ones, too, find endless entertainment at Cortez Cottage. Our range of beach toys, ping pong and cornhole keep you entertained for hours . "Our active family loved the outdoor games and watching movies outside!" notes another guest.

Inside, find your home away from home. Three beautifully furnished bedrooms can accommodate up to 12 guests: the master bedroom features a king bed, the second bedroom has a queen bed, and the third is a children's paradise with two twin bunk beds and a trundle. There's also a pull-out couch with a full bed in the living room and a versatile beanbag that opens into a full bed.

At Cortez Cottage, your comfort is our priority. We've stocked the house with everything you need for a hassle-free vacation, so you can spend less time packing and more time enjoying. And, as our previous guests confirm, cleanliness is paramount to us. "This home was the cleanest I have stayed in," one guest remarked.

Finally, our friendly and responsive hosts, Nathan and his wife, are always on hand to answer any questions and ensure you have a phenomenal stay. As one guest put it: "Nathan was a fabulous host...We are excited to book again for next year!"

So why wait? Reserve your dream family vacation at the Cortez Cottage today!

*Note: There is a fee for use of the pool/hot tub heat and jets.

We really enjoyed our stay
Overall stay was great! Beds were comfortable with lots of towels and pool toys. Pack n play and high chair for baby worked well! We paid extra to heat the pool/ hot tub which worked well and was a must because it was chilly weather while we were there. Kids enjoyed ping pong and bags. Communication with owner was good. There were 8 of us(2 were kids and 1 baby). I would recommend.

Extended vacation
Everything was absolutely great except they need to keep their filter clean in their air conditioner so that it’s not overworking. I was very nice looking forward to renting it again in the near future. Thank you

Great place to stay near Anna Marie Island
We took our school group from Michigan--8 students and 3 adults. Great place to stay. Clean. Downstairs and Backyard were excellent and provided a lot of space for hanging out and having fun. Incredible hosts that were very responsive to every need. Highly recommend!

Amazing house, perfect location!
My boyfriend, our 9 kids & I traveled to Florida from ME for a dance trip with our girls dance team. After 3 days at Disney we were ready for some relaxation! Cortez cottage is about 2 hours from Disney & while we could of chosen somewhere closer we are so glad we didn’t, the 2 hour drive was worth it! We arrived at the house around 2am and had an issue with the lock code but Nathan was so quick to respond & after just a few minutes we got it figured out & were in the house. The inside of the house was a cozy/beachy vibe, very nicely decorated & felt like home. The outside space eas something I can’t fully describe, you just have to see it! Our kids has so much fun!! Between the pool, hot tub, ping pong table, fire pit, couch, TV & grill we literally spent 0 time inside other then to sleep. Our first day we went out to get food and other things we needed for our stay & we were so impressed how close everything was including the beach which is only a short 5-10 minute drive. Siesta key beach is only about a 40minutes drive & I highly recommend visiting as it was absolutely beautiful! All in all we had an absolutely amazing time while staying at the Cortez cottage, the house is located down a quiet side rd right near everything you would need for your stay. Our family was sad to leave but we would def. Book this property in the future if it was available! Thank you Nathan for being a great host!
