Why they chose this property
Bradenton became a sweet escape for our families from the hustle and bustle of the city. We enjoy all that this area has to offer as it is central to the most beautiful beaches in the country. We hope that you, too, will fall in love with Bradenton and will continue to make The Cortez Retreat your home away from home.
What makes this property unique
This home gives our families the perfect balance of relaxing poolside and having fun in the sun beachside (just a short drive away). When all fifteen of us visit the home, we love the large layout of the house. We all fit comfortably and never feel like we are invading any one else's space. However, the house is still cozy enough for us to enjoy real quality time together as a family. The location of the home is ideal for us as we are close to world class beaches, incredible gulf front restaurants, and boredom busting outdoor activities for the entire family to enjoy. We have yet to do it all and feel as though we will never run out of things to do! When we are looking to slow down and take it easy we take full advantage of the home's outdoor living area. The kids love swimming in the heated pool as we adults take in the gulf course front views (usually grilling up something yummy on the outdoor grill).
