My husband and I wanted a relaxing, laid back holiday on the water after the busyness of Christmas and we got it! This lovely restored home sits on the bay with a 60 foot dock in the fishing community of Cortez, FL. If you want the comforts of home in a cool historic community, surrounded by water and beautiful beaches on nearby Anna Maria Island, then this home is for you! We walked to a fun restaurant in the neighborhood and bought fresh fish from the nearby Starfish Market and never had to leave the house unless we wanted to adventure on the beautiful Gulf beaches of Anna Maria. Hope to be back soon! The owner is great with communication too!

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Gray House. Location was amazing, loved having access to the kayaks, bikes, and fishing equipment. Listening to the birds on the back deck was a real treat!

We loved staying here. The views from the home and dock are unbeatable and the home has all the amenities you need to cook/bbq. We used the kayak and enjoyed checking our local restaurants. Convenient location to AMI too!

The house is so charming,cozy, and modern. The architecture inside is very unique. There's a beautiful view of the water from the entire inside, and palm trees can be seen through all the windows. We brought fresh fish back from the nearby fish market and grilled on the deck. We regularly took the provided beach chairs and umbrella to Cortez beach. My husband especially enjoyed fishing on the fishing dock. I loved seeing the birds there.We rarely saw anyone at other docks so it was super private. The front yard is big which provides extra privacy at the house.There's an unattached garage out by the street which is very far away from the house-- which the owner occasionally visits, perhaps doing some quiet work inside of it. Briefly we saw him tending plants on the grounds but he stayed at a distance as if not to bother us. He was friendly when we approached him and was very accommodating and easy going. He provided countless perks that we greatly appreciated, from fishing bait-- to shampoo- to laundry soap! There's the cutest pineapple growing out front that we always fawned over when we came and went. Lots of awesome wildlife, too. Hope to come back soon!
