Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Cortez

Just checked out of Kate’s place! What can we say, as a family of five and also our parents we had the most amazing stay. The property is as described, super clean and spacious! The kids loved the pool area and spend countless hours playing around the pool and with the vast array of games throughout the villa. The Area was beautiful, gorgeous beaches and friendly people! Kate was an amazing host, always insightful, friendly and very responsive. What a fabulous family holiday full of lots of new memories created. Thanks Kate!

Absolutely amazing stay! We felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The style and decor of the house is cozy, clean, and elegant. It had everything we needed for a perfect week-long stay. Beds are comfortable, shower is incredible - we even planned a day just to chill at the house because it was so honey and relaxing. Tons of great things to do and great restaurants. Close to the beaches and fishing spots. We will definitely stay again!!

From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described—if not better. Every little detail had clearly been thought through. The neighborhood was charming and safe, we appreciated being on the canal and being able to bring our boat. But what truly made this stay special were the hosts. John and Paulina were incredibly kind, responsive, and went out of their way to make sure we had a comfortable and memorable experience. They checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly (without being intrusive at all). We're coming back for sure!

This is the cleanest airbnb I’ve stayed at. SPOTLESS. Neighborhood was very quiet and close to everything we wanted to do. Scott was super friendly and communication was A+++++ Highly recommend Scott’s place.

Claudia’s place was one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at while visiting AMI. The home was beautiful and the master bedrooms en suite felt like your own personal spa! If you’re traveling with babies or toddlers there is no safety fence around the pool, but there are alarms on every door leading out to the pool area. Claudia was very accommodating and even let us to check in early which allowed us to have a whole extra day to enjoy the pool. We really enjoyed our stay here and we highly recommend booking with Claudia!

Trish was super helpful with everything we needed. She had space for 2 vehicles plus our huge boat! Thank you Trish!!! The house is easy walking distance to Bradenton Beach, just over the Cortez bridge which also has a bike friendly path. The hot tub is best described as a small swimming pool. It does take time to get it warmed up. It has wonderful surfaces to set your drinks and was the reason we selected Trish's place. The kitchen had space to put our own supplies (HURRAY) and was functional. Both drip coffee and Keurig machines available, both with supplies. There were enough towels! There were beach towels! and to make it even better, it is a short walk to a lovely local seafood shack style restaurant right on the water. Also another great restaurant a few blocks away, 3 minutes on bikes, that was open later with live music!!!

Great place to stay with the family. Lots to do at the house to keep little ones, teens and adults entertained. The place is not far from the beach at all unless it is on Saturday when everyone is checking in or out of their rentals. Keep that in mind for your beach adventures. Otherwise, super close to everything!!! Nathan had everything there for you. Beach towels! Kitchen essentials! Very nice rental! Would stay there again!

The house is simply wonderful! Very cozy, comfortable, and exactly as shown in the photos. Everything is brand new, well-maintained, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils you could need — from the basics to items that make cooking even easier for those who enjoy it. Communication with the hosts was excellent: they respond very quickly, are extremely proactive and attentive, always willing to help with anything needed. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. It was an amazing stay!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Cristina’s place. Super clean and cozy. Host was responsive and friendly.

We had a great stay at Lisa’s. It was well stocked and had everything we needed for a great stay. Would definitely recommend!

I would definitely recommend this place 😁 it was quite and clean just as described. I stayed 2 nights and had no problems. The outside patio was nice and private 🥰

Absolutely loved our stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—just steps from the beach with stunning views and peaceful surroundings. Cindy was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back—highly recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Anubuy’s place! The home was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Anubuy was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our stay. They made sure we felt right at home, and their attention to detail really stood out. The location was perfect—peaceful, yet conveniently close to everything we wanted to explore. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Outstanding host and place, definitely will book it again. Perfect location, peaceful environment. One block from ocean.

Cozy guest home, with all the right amenities you need when visiting Florida. Great location near downtown Bradenton as well!

Loved our stay at Ohana Hale, super cute, clean, great location for our needs! Fawn and Kevan were lovely to chat with.

Very quaint little town. We brought the bikes and were able to bike everywhere. Very peaceful with minimal crowds. Hit the spot on the get away we wanted. Thanks!

We truly loved staying at this beautiful condo! It was super-super clean, modern-designed, had everything we needed, and even much more! Full spectrum of laundry/cleaning/bathroom supplies in abundance. The space is very cozy, stylish, and the location was really convenient - walking distance to Publix, good restaurants, and other useful places. Andrew and Angel are great hosts and kindest people! Responded immediately and positively to all our questions. Can’t wait to get back and stay here again! We feel lucky to find this place! Thank you Angel and Andrew!

Great and comfortable place. Great communicative host. Location is perfect if you want to stay at home like place and enjoy local gorgeous beaches and parks. Back from the beach you have a nice size two pools and hot tops waiting for you. Publix, CVS, Applebee's and and many others are very close - actually walking distance or across the street. The place is very clean and equipped well with all supplies are you needed for the longer stay. Beach chairs and beach towels are provided as well. I had my morning coffee at the enclosed lanai with water view and watching great egret and blue herons in it. Definitely will stay again for another Bradenton/Sarasota trip. Highly recommend!!!

My fiancé and I really enjoyed our stay at David’s place in Bradenton! The space was super clean and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Communication was excellent throughout; the host was responsive, helpful, and always timely with their messages. One of the best parts was the beach access—super convenient, and the place was stocked with everything from a beach cart, umbrellas, chairs, and beach towels etc. which made days at the beach so easy. There were also a few great local tips provided, which I definitely took advantage of. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lovely little spot to stay. Very clean, peaceful and quiet. I found the location to be great also. Close to a lot of stuff.

As a mother traveling with kids, this place has everything you’re gonna need! Beautiful pool, cute put-put golf, beach towels, Sand toys, Sun shade, wagon, cooler, beach chairs. My girls played volleyball all week! Private houses on both sides of the unit… so it’s never crowded. We saw several manatees while swimming in the ocean and we got to witness loggerheads nesting at night! So if you’re looking for a truly relaxing vacation (for mom too) I highly recommend this unit and mostly, Heidi as a host!

Dan & Crystal's place was exactly as described. Steps from the beach and very well kept. Had a chance to meet Dan and he was extremely pleasant and nice to speak with. The beach was never crowded and the condo is in a great location. We will be back for sure. Thank you both. - Wayne and Chris

This was a great place and had everything you needed! My family really enjoyed it and the host was amazing to work with and responded back really fast! I would go back here!! Also the beach, omg it’s beautiful!! White sandy beaches, beautiful blue water, we even found whole sand dollars!! Worth checking out and staying!!!
