Great host, clean place, loved the location. The only notable issues were the door alarm and the time it took the hot tub to heat up. The were a learning curve, but the host was responsive and explained everything to us. Would definitely stay at this place again! Five stars. Thank you for having us!

Just close enough, and also far enough away from the hustle of the island. Easy to get to via bikes and awesome place to stay if you enjoy fishing. House was perfect for us.

Great place, walking distance to beach and restaurants, beds are very comfortable, love the pool and spa, deck. AMI Vacations met all our needs. Thanks!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Lobster Key. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. We appreciated the game and pool areas as well as outside bar and grill area. The neighborhood was quiet and close to great restaurants. We will most likely choose this property again when staying in the area.

Thank you for the 5 star review, Shawn! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Lobster Key and appreciated the location and amenities that this home has to offer our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back to Cortez soon!
Perfect spot to either hang out by/in the pool or spa as well as the great hardscaped surrounding. Loved the corn hole and pool table game set ups. Super convenient to multiple beaches within a very short drive. Loved having this private setting in a cool neighborhood that has 4 restaurants and a working waterfront within walking distance to it. Plenty of living space inside and out. Definitely will stay again if available. Communication with rental agency was superb.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the spaciousness of the property, the relaxing pool area, and the convenience of having such a fantastic seafood restaurant nearby—Five Star is indeed a favorite in the area! We apologize for the inconvenience with the hot tub heater during your stay. Please rest assured that we are addressing this issue to ensure it’s fully functional for future guests. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for an even more seamless stay next time!
The location was perfect for me as I have stayed in the Cortez area for many years as an RV'er. A mile walk to the beach, restaurants in walking distance. The house was the right size for hosting my family and friends. There were a few cleaning issues which I took care of, maintenance issues which were quickly resolved by Anna Marie Vacations to my satisfaction.

Plenty of space, nice secluded location from fishing village. Close to beach, right before bridge. Road/drainage construction currently. House itself only one con: alarm system on patio door. Makes inconvenient to use upper patio.
