Once Upon A Beach Vacation Rentals in Florida

“Great place to stay for large families. Extremely responsive host. Walkable to the beach and restaurants. The street is extremely quiet as well. This is our second time staying here.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a great stay! The house was very clean and had plenty of room for everyone. The location was excellent, with canal access that made fishing easy and enjoyable. It was also incredibly convenient - a short golf cart ride to the beach, great restaurants, and ice cream shops. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed for preparing meals. The neighbors were friendly, and the whole area was quiet and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Cortez.”

“Can’t say enough how much we enjoyed our stay. The property was even more spacious than the photos for our family of 6. We loved the pool & outdoor areas were well kept as well as the indoor spaces. The garage where the laundry, beach and pool equipment were kept made it feel like a bigger space as well. We felt cozy & right at home. Amazing location with a 5 minute walk to the beach or 3 minutes to bayside. Great restaurants/coffee shops/ice cream close by & within walking distance. Such a great place to stay on Anna Maria.”

“We had a great stay !The house was perfect for our family, clean, in great condition, and had everything we needed. The kitchen was a good size for meal prepping, and we loved using the grill on the back patio. The pool was so refreshing after long beach days, and loved all the privacy. The sectional in the family room was perfect for movie nights. It’s also a short walk to the beach, which was super convenient. Communication was easy, Nikki and her team responded quickly, and check-in instructions were clear. I would definitely say the credit for the beach rental equipment made things so easy, they delivered everything to the house before we arrived and picked it up after we left, which was super convenient. My only recommendation for staying anywhere on the island is to rent a golf cart, it makes getting around and bringing beach gear so much easier, especially since parking at restaurants can be limited. I’ll definitely do that next time we visit! Overall, we had a lovely time!”

“What an amazing property. Hosts were fantastic, very responsive and in a timely manner. House was incredible, clean, spacious, and perfect for our two families. Great location to get to Pine and the beach. Just two small items to consider: First, there were no life jackets provided for the kayaks, be sure to hit up Beach Bums to get vests. Next, the downstairs bunk room is considerably warmer than the rest of the house due to duct work or air flow, but easily 5-10 degrees warmer than any other room in the house with AC on full. We tried door open, door closed, box fans, etc. The room is simply much warmer than rest of house for whatever reasons. This was an incredible house with an excellent host, would rent again.”
