Steps from the Beach! Heated Pool & Spacious Deck!

MartyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Our family of six thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gretchen’s place on AMI. We had everything we needed and more at the condo! Our teens especially liked all the beach equipment and toys, the pool table, and the darts. The adults enjoyed using the bikes to explore the island. The condo is beautifully decorated and has everything you need to cook meals at home. The walk to the beach was easy, and the beach was beautiful everyday! We also enjoyed the proximity to many good restaurants. Publix is a short drive away for groceries. Gretchen is very attentive, answering questions prior to our visit and responding quickly to a concern we had upon move-in. The garbage disposal wasn’t working when we arrived, and Gretchen had someone out to fix it the next morning. She even gave us $50 back for our “troubles”! Overall, we couldn’t have asked for more from this Airbnb experience! Many thanks to Gretchen!

Hidden Beach Retreat | Pool | Steps from the sand

Glenn ScottRating, 5 stars11 months ago
Great place to stay. Watched sunsets from the balcony each night even though it’s the B building. Ocean view. Plenty of space. Walk to almost everything. Not really any need for a rental car unless you want to go to south beach to eat. But the trolley can take you there if you want. Will stay here again. Have stayed at the Villas many, many times. Before these were built. Will always come back here.

Arie Dam 302, Beach Front Condo - 2Bed/2Bath

MikeRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Our family of 6 had the best time! Our condo was so nice, clean, and comfortable. It was great to have beach towels and chairs to use as well!! The beach and view was amazing. We had no idea it would be so beautiful. The pool wasn’t quite ready but that didn’t matter (repairs due to the hurricane) the ocean was enough. Our son rented a fishing pole from Hubbards Marina and had the best time fishing off the shore while our other kids swam. We would go back and stay at the same place again. The beach was not crazy busy. Early mornings and late evenings were so peaceful.

Beach days and sunshine—what more could you want?

Laura Rating, 5 stars1 month ago
Cyndi’s townhouse was very welcoming and comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked. New appliances. We LOVED the balconies and rooftop deck. Sunrises over the intercoastal and sunsets over the gulf were incredible! Cyndi was phenomenal- excellent communication and responsive to our questions and needs. We hope to return!

2min walk to the beach/pool, BBQ/great area, RO110

AilishRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We’ve stayed here the last few vacations and as always, the place never disappoints. Great location with all beach amenities you could possibly need. We unfortunately needed to evacuate from Hurricane Helene and John was gracious and concerned for our safety. The town of Redington is a family and we’re praying for their safety and quick turn around to their paradise again.

Rustic Sands - 650

Leon Rating, 5 stars9 months ago
Our time at this Airbnb in Siesta Key was amazing! The house was super clean and had an awesome kitchen with everything you could think of, plus more. Great appliances, tons of towels, dishes, some games, TVs with premium channels and more! Outside was just as great. The pool area was covered with mosquito netting, so we could relax without bugs bothering us. The pool was our favorite spot! super clean, and the outdoor BBQ grill was great! The only thing was the master bedroom bed was a bit small and not the most comfortable for us (queen size), but everything else was so good. The neighborhood was really quiet, location was 4 minute drive from the beach. Overall, this Airbnb was one of the best places we've stayed. I would 100% recommend it and would come back! it looks better in real life than the photos.

Amazing views & steps to beach 2B-2Bath-Pool 333

CarlosRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had a great trip. The location was perfect with a nice view of the intercostal channel and an easy 5 min walk to the beach access. Quiet and peaceful for this time of the year and just what we were looking for. The apartment was big enough for the 4 of us, comfortable bedrooms and spacious living room. Our host was friendly, quick to respond and accommodating. We would certainly like to return and rent back from her. 10 and of 10

Your guide to Cortez

All About Cortez

Located 30 minutes northwest of Sarasota, Cortez is one of the last remaining active fishing villages on Florida’s Gulf Coast. With seafood restaurants and bait shops on stilts directly over the water, the town has maintained much of its 19th-century charm and authenticity. The smell of fried grouper and mullet fills the air as you meander along the pier watching boats bob in the harbor. Cortez’s historic waterfront has a throwback vibe with souvenir and gift shops next door to beach apparel stores, where you can rent boogie boards and lounger chairs by the hour.

Most people who come here do so to get on the water. Jet skiing, paddleboarding, and kayaking are all popular pastimes, and you can even rent a pontoon boat for a lazy day on the gulf. For a quick excursion, nearby Anna Maria Island boasts vast stretches of pearly-white sand and glittering emerald waters while providing spectacular vistas of Tampa Bay and Sunshine Skyway.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cortez

Throughout the year, Cortez sees relatively warm temperatures and sunny days. Summers are humid and can be rainy, as hurricane season ramps up in August and lasts through November. Winters experience windy and cooler conditions, though the days are still warm enough to spend on the water.

Throughout the year, Cortez hosts several events and festivals that celebrate the town and its heritage. The Annual Stone Crab Festival takes place in October and features live music, local art vendors, and fresh seafood. In February, the village hosts its annual Cortez Commercial Fishing Festival, a two-day event that showcases the state’s commercial seafood industry and features fishing boats, gear, workshops, and arts and crafts vendors.


Top things to do in Cortez

The Florida Maritime Museum at Cortez

Learn about Florida’s seafaring legacy at the Florida Maritime Museum, which features exhibits and offers classes that teach a variety of skills, including knot tying, sailing, and the art of constructing a fishing rod. The museum spotlights the significance the fishing industry has had in shaping Florida’s traditions and culture through the present day.

Anna Maria Island

Anna Maria Island is just a quick drive or shuttle ride away and is home to a handful of pristine white-sand beaches. The gentle shallows and glistening waters make a great backdrop for a day in the sun minus the crowds. Be aware that there are no equipment rentals on Anna Maria Island, so you’ll need to pack what you want to use or get your gear from Cortez before heading over.

Cortez Beach

Cortez Beach boasts gentle waves, warm, clear waters, and a long stretch of white sand sheltered by dunes blanketed in vibrant green shrubbery. Cortez Beach is ideal for beachcombing, sunbathing, swimming, and snorkeling. The beach is more secluded and tends to be less crowded than some nearby beaches. Keep an eye out for the many seabirds that are usually frolicking near shore.
