We traveled by boat from St. Pete to the "cottage on the canal" - easy ride. Very easy check-in. House was clean and well decorated. The house is close to restaurants, beach and shops. We plan on doing the trip again - it was the perfect little weekend get-away.

This home is absolutely beautiful. Listing photos do not do justice to how spacious this home is. The pool felt amazing especially after a long day out on the boat. The outdoor space is perfect, and my kids loved fishing the canal day and night! Check in process was super easy and the neighborhood is quiet. Located close to everything. Will definitely be staying here again.

Check in was a breeze, the property was exactly as listed. Clean and comfy. We reported a screen from the pool surround came off in the storm and Maureen responded immediately. The convenient location to many places in Cortez, and one of the main ways to get to the island make it a great locale. The kids loved the pool, and we loved the quiet neighborhood.

Great place to stay, super convenient location. The neighborhood was super quiet day and night. The interior is spacious, more than enough room for a family and more. The pool was one of the cleanest pools I’ve been in on a vacation stay, great job to whomever maintains it. Our favorite part of the house is the exterior, the pool area and the dock. Overall super happy choosing this house, we would choose it again.
