Loved everything about this house. I have stayed in many houses in the Cortez area and this one is top of the list! The location to AMI and stores is great as well as the beautiful back porch to sit and gaze at the pond and the birds! Manager was attentive to any issue immediately for our comfort. Highly recommend!

The house is beautifully presented and furnished with everything you could possibly need. All of the furniture is of a high standard and extremely comfortable. Really felt like a home away from home. The view from the lanai is lovely and we enjoyed many hours watching the turtles and birds on the lake. We were very sad to have to leave the property early due to hurricane Idalia.

The house is very clean and much like on pictures and very closed to beaches, outlets and restaurants. The neighborhood is quite calm. The communication with the management company was very fluid, we had a minor issue that has been managed during the day. The only regret is that the management company charged $100 for late check out We highly recommend this place.

This home is newly decorated, and everything is just perfect. The pool overlooking the pond was a huge bonus. Location is close to so many beaches, restaurants, and activities. Plenty of towels, blankets, dishes, and beach items. I was disappointed that the rental company only provides three rolls of toilet paper for the entire home, and there wasn't even salt and pepper in the kitchen. That being said, I would stay at this home again and recommend it to anyone, especially families. Just be aware that you'll need to get everything at the grocery store.

Beautiful Florida Vacation Home

Beautiful Florida Vacation Home

Heron’s watch home is a quiet, clean, spacious and calming place. It is close to Bradenton Beach and Anna Maria island. The whole place made us feel at home; it looks just as pictured. The neighborhood is very quiet and neighbors are very friendly. We enjoyed dining poolside and watching herons, turtles and even eagles outside. Pool is beautiful and our entire family enjoyed swimming and lounging by the pool. Entire home is immaculate and beautifully decorated! Parking in the garage is also a plus . Renting from Island Dreams realty is amazing - I will look for their listings next time as we’ve had a wonderful experience (this is our 2nd time renting from them). Don’t look any further and book this amazing vacation home before it’s too late!

A Nice Get Away

A Nice Get Away

Overall, our stay at Heron's Watch was nice. There were some things that should be adjusted/fixed for future guests: 1 - Pool: bottom needs to be cleaned more thoroughly, the temperature was not 83 degrees as advertised 2 - Double bedroom: my daughter woke up EVERY morning with several bug bites from mosquitos, no see ums, spiders... and she slept under sheet and comforter. Pest control needs to be increased. 3 - Dishes: every pan, dish, bowl, glass, coffee mug, cooking and eating utensil needed to be re-washed before use. 4-Garage Door: automatic opener did not work, no batteries on site 5 - Kitchen floor: needs to be cleaned more thoroughly, we found a big piece of broken glass under pantry doors! 6 - Refrigerator: was set too low, after 2 days we realized this and had to throw away spoiled meats and produce. 7 - Single bedroom: blanket was dirty and needed to be washed 8 - Customer service: no one contacted me when I emailed my questions/concerns during our stay

Wonderful holiday

Wonderful holiday

My family had a wonderful holiday in this house. Large cozy house with a swimming pool. Comfortable beds, good linens, lots of bath and beach towels. There are all the necessary utensils for cooking in the kitchen. There is an air mattress and chairs for the beach. We rested from 11/27/2021 - 12/7/2021, upon arrival the weather was cool but we swam in the heated pools. Warm, wonderful water. The location of the house is excellent, all the necessary grocery stores are 5-10 minutes away by car. There are many cafes and restaurants. There is a good beach nearby, clean sand, clear water. Sarasota-Bredonton Airport 15 minutes drive from this house. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

A perfect getaway

A perfect getaway

100% truth in advertising. The home was everything it was shown to be. Beautiful pool & view over the pond made for relaxing days and nights. Great open layout and well equipped and it was great to be able to park the rental car (a Suburban fit easily!) in the garage out of the heat. Was a 20 minute drive from SRQ and once there everything we needed was less than 10 minutes in any direction including the beaches. We enjoyed the stay and have saved this property for future trips.

Check in was a breeze. The location was great. Close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. The home was clean and everything was well organized. The pool was well heated for use on cooler nights with adequate seating for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked, and there were even multiple coffee maker options. We did have to contact the management company with a few minor issues, and they responded immediately.Overal

Perfect property for your family vacation

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The location is perfect, close to beautiful beaches. The house is greatly equipped with everything needed for your family vacation. The only two problems we experienced were big ants especially in the master bathroom and laundry dryer working poorly. It took a long time to dry a load of clothes. I would recommend this property to anyone and hopefully we can stay there again in the future Thank you.

Beautiful family friendly home!

We loved our experience at Sunset! We spent a week there, just to get away. We were about 10 minutes from everything, shopping, restaurants, and the beach. The home had everything we needed for a day at home or a day at the beaches. The pool was warm! And clean. We swam multiple times each day. There was plenty of space for my husband and 2 kids. We were able to cook and grill. It really was a great house for the price and location! We will be back!

Wondeful and relaxing home.

The home had everything we wanted . Very comfortable with a fantastic pool in a very quiet community. The house was just as presented on home away. Alex and Meagan are great to work with and responded right away to any concerns or questions we might have had. We loved the wildlife. A pair of nesting bald eagles in back of the house that you could watch while lounging in the pool. Step out the back with a piece of hot dog and herons and egrets come out of nowhere and just about land on you. How great is that ? Very close to the beaches ,restaurants and supermarkets. Highly recommend this rental for young and old alike.

This vacation villa was exceptional in every way, from the welcoming gift bag, the cleanliness of the villa, the warm and inviting pool, the quietness of the neighborhood and the closeness of the beaches, and of all the nearby restaurants and stores. The property was very well maintained and the manager provided excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this villa to all who want to kick back and relax and enjoy the different bird life on the lake.
