Summary: This is a favorite getaway cottage for our family. With stunning water views in the historic fishing village of Cortez it is truly a “gem”. The host Robert is always helpful, welcoming and responsive. It has plenty of space outdoors for eating, relaxing, playing games. We love the kitchen and indoor space after enjoying visits to the beaches and Sarasota. As a historical neighborhood, It is also great for walking and exploring. Look forward to our next visit!
