Cortez Beach with Pool
This location was wonderful. Cortez Beach was across the street and the pool and hot tub provided the additional fun to the location. The owner provides all the water toys and even camp chairs to use at the beach. Restaurants and historic Bridge Street is approximately 1/4 mile away.

Location
Location of the property was perfect to accessing the beach. A short walk away and you found yourself with an array of options for dining, shops and restaurants! Lots to do right around the corner. Rental property provided a lot of options to keep you busy as well from the bikes, kayaks and paddle boards. We found the pool to be our favorite spot for the weekend.

Our family had a wonderful time at this convenient location! We were able to experience kayaking and stand up paddle boarding at the bay, which are available on the property, and bicycling. The pool was amazing! Walking distance to Bridge Street and to the beach. We will be back!

Great place, great location
The Cortez resort was fantastic! My wife and I really enjoyed the house and the back patio/pool. Kids also loved it, really enjoying the pool. It's a stones throw to the beach and a short walk to Bridge street stores, restaurants, and pier. Rex had his place very clean and offered all essential amenities - cookware, grill, books, internet, and cable tv. We hope to be back!

Absolutely Amazing!!!
Everything was exactly as described! Rex was so easy to work with and very responsive even checking in to make sure we were ok!! Pool area was absolutely stunning and we enjoyed it every evening. Everything you need for the beach was right our fingertips and literally steps away from the beach. This home was perfect and the location was even better... we will definitely go through Rex again and recommend you do as well!!!

Beautiful pool and Location
Pros: This property has an incredible pool and is location in a perfect location ti the beach and downtown area with in walking distance with lots of bars, restaurants and shopping. Communication with the host was very good. Check in easy. Pool was the start of this property as mentioned several times in the listing. Cons: The AC is not central but rather window units in each room that struggled to maintain accurate temps to keep each room cool especially at night. There was a rather long list of chores to do for the renters such as doing your own laundry, taking out trash and running the dishwater (which was not a normal dishwasher it is one that you have to hook up to the sink yourself) for the high amount of cleaning fees is it not right for the renters to do most of the cleaning work. Why pay high cleaning fees if we have to do most of the work? The apartment unit itself was not as nice as the photos eluded to, it is a very basic apartment that was converted I suppose from a garage. It’s very small. Furniture, towels, kitchen equipment/utensils are all basic quality. You are paying for the amazing pool, location, cleaning fees and not for the apartment itself.
