The house was furnished extremely well and the pool in the back yard was beautiful! This is our second stay and will definitely be planning on another visit in the future.
Overall we enjoyed our 5 week stay at Barracuda, We loved the pool and backyard. The appliances seemed new and beds comfortable. This is an older home that has been renovated and rooms are smaller. The living room was pretty tight for 5 adults and the couch and chairs could be more comfortable. The neighborhood is still recovering from the Fall hurricanes and some homes and mobile homes are still in bad shape. Definitely need a car to get to beaches, restaurants and stores. Our host was very responsive to our requests.
This place was awesome! The backyard is definitely the highlight for us and the reason we chose this place. The decor was so cute, the feeling homey and we were very comfortable. Having a heated pool was a game changer! It’s perfectly located between the Bradenton convention center where we had a cheer competition and the beaches. we will definitely come back!
The back yard is worth the price of admission alone! Wonderfully landscaped and meticulously maintained. Beautiful to look at, fenced and secluded, Great play area for the dogs and then to top it off, a heated pool! House very neat and well stocked. Easy in and out and quick access to the beech, nature walks, restaurants and grocery stores including a Detwiler's. Quiet neighborhood off the beaten path. If you are thinking about a stay in Cortez, I highly recommend this place.

The location was great. Very close to the beach as well as restaurants and stores. Loved having a heated pool since it was a little chilly for our stay.
We all had a great time - the place was great and the location was excellent! We would definitely return!

Not the Barracuda
The duplex was clean but I'm glad there were only two of us as it's small. I'm thankful the landlord had a place for us to stay. The amenities are excellent, and the neighborhood is a little loud. But the location is great for getting to and from Anna Maria.
Overall, these are good, honest, and caring people to rent from.
