Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Cortez

We had an amazing stay! The house was absolutely gorgeous and it had everything we needed and more. We were able to see manatees and we got to see a couple of dolphins at sunset on our last night. The pool was perfect! The hosts were very helpful and were quickly to respond to questions. We did not want to leave and look forward to coming back.

We stay in the Bradenton/AMI area yearly and Richard’s house was exactly what we were looking for. Nice quiet neighborhood on the canal and just a few minutes drive to the beach and shops. The spacious kitchen and living area was fantastic for preparing meals and still enjoyed being connected with the group. The bedrooms and bathrooms are updated and very comfortable. Richard was very responsive and communicated very well. We did have a couple small hiccups with some electrical breakers from the tropical storm that hit the area just before our stay but Richard gave us a heads up ahead of time and communicated all updates regarding repair. Thankfully all issues were very minor and we were able to enjoy our vacation with minimal adjustments. The house has some basic cooking seasonings but lots of cooking utensils and pots/pans. A few small pool towels were there but I do recommend bringing beach towels as he suggests in his listing. A few beach chairs and coolers also available.

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!

We had a great stay at this beautiful and spacious home in Bradenton. It was perfect for our group, with comfortable bedrooms and a well-equipped kitchen. The pool area was very enjoyable refreshing after hot beach days. The location is excellent, just under 15 minutes from the beach and close to stores, restaurants, and markets. The house also includes beach gear, which was super convenient. There’s a grill area and a yard with games for everyone to enjoy. The lake view made our morning coffee even better. My family and I were very happy with our stay and would definitely book again!

What an amazing stay! We had such a good time at Johnny‘s place, and would love to come back. The house is in pristine condition and I had my EV, so the on-site charger was a great bonus that allowed us to stay on the island the whole time without having to worry about charging. It is thoughtfully decorated, and really close to everything. Highly recommend.

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!

Our family of four had a wonderful stay at this newly renovated and cozy place. The house was sparkling clean and had everything we needed, including a fantastic pool that the kids loved! Its convenient location made trips to Anna Maria beach and local supermarkets a breeze. A special thanks to our host, Angie, who was incredibly responsive and accommodating throughout our stay. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely return

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

Victor was very attentive and friendly, giving us a ton of local recommendations. The location was quiet and remote, but within a 10 minute drive to downtown St Pete. I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great deal for a small space! Very nice for a night stay

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!

Was very responsive and helped out! Overall well priced and convenient for our quick trip.

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.

Heidi and her place is the the most organized and best operated Airbnb we stayed at. Starting with communication from the moment we booked to very last detail. The place has everything you will ever need, very clean. Beach is right out of the door, pool is great and plenty of floaties, boogie boards and toys for kids. Heidi ordered new pack n’play for our infant, left drinks in the fridge and first morning surprised us with muffins and juice left at our door. Plenty of recommendations and very friendly communication through out the stay and beyond.

Awesome vacation! Literally just steps to the beach, with front row seats to the clear green/blue ocean and magnificent sunsets. The condo was comfortable and lovely with everything we needed. Dan & Crystal were wonderfully communicative and offered great local suggestions too. Perfect mix of a peaceful and fun getaway... Highly recommend!

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!!!
