Summary: We had a great time at the Gray Fulford House. Two bedrooms was perfect for our family. The pull out couch in the second bedroom was very comfortable. So easy to get to the beaches, though plan carefully if you have to go out on the weekends. We had to run to the store and it took forever to get back to the cottage, as everyone was trying to get to the beach. We loved using the kayaks and seeing all the birds, lizards and fish. It was a quiet neighborhood, but the few random people we saw out and about were very friendly. The owner was quick to fix the bikes as my husband got a flat tire on his ride. The deck stairs and dock into the water are a bit different than the photos online, but I'm guessing this is due to the hurricane last year. Still very safe and sturdy to go on though.

Summary: The house and location were amazing. We came shortly after the hurricanes (Helene and Milton), so the area was still rebuilding, but this house was an oasis. You can't beat the view, walking distance to some great restaurants, truly a special place. The house was very clean and equipped with almost everything you could possibly need. Can't wait to come back!

Summary: This location is so perfect. We live in a year round tourist area so we were after some peace. So close to Anna Maria for the beaches. Lots of seafood within walking distance. Great fishing off the pier. Very well appointed private house. Kitchen and bathrooms, awesome! Bonus- fridge makes ice. Close to Bradenton for anything at all you may need. I highly recommend this property and plan on visiting again. It was EXACTLY what we were looking for. We never even turned on a tv as there was plenty to watch live off the Large back deck (which is covered). Thank you for such a great 60th birthday. Cortez is a gem of a spot.

Summary: We absolutely loved the house, property, and community. The house is very beautifully renovated and has very high quality amenities. So nice to be right on the Bay, spent lots of time bird watching and just relaxing. The house really encourages you to kick back and relax. I've been going to Cortez Village for years to go to the Starfish Company so highly recommend supporting this great local business. Make sure to go to their fish market for delicious fresh local fish to cook on the grill at the house. Host was very responsive and flexible. Amazing experience! We will definitely be back!
