The house fit us perfectly. We very much enjoyed the pool and the proximity to a fabulous public beach, Coquina Beach.

We all loved the Cortez home. Perfect for 3 generations of family. The weather was a little chilly, but we still sat by the pool most days. The pictures for the home were exactly as posted. Really better then!! We felt like it was “like home” of course it was pricey, but well worth it!!
5.0 / 5.0
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The kids/in-law found the pool vacuum a tad annoying & in the way however I understood the purpose of it staying in the pool working to keep it clean.
The only other suggestion would be from my daughter/son-n-law suggesting a shower curtain in master bedroom (leading out to the pool area). No barrier made for chilly showers.

Outdoor pool, patio and dock are very nice for swimming and enjoying the weather when it cooperates and bonus canal wildlife !
The home is very cute with charming beach vibe and the location is great!
The kitchen is somewhat stocked but yet missing some basics was a little frustrating doing so much laundry and dishes to ever have enough to use during a “vacation” such as very few bath towels and no dishcloths - it was nice having plenty of pool/beach towels.
overall would recommend and we enjoyed our stay

The Home is beautiful! We enjoyed a week with Son and his family. Rented a pontoon boat from Life is good boat rentals, and we were able to keep it moored at the dock! Spent time at the beaches, took evening boat cruises, and did some fishing. The management company was great with the only issue we had which was the pool light timer. Oh and the pool is incredible!
We’ll stay again if we get the opportunity!

Property was great. Parking the trailer was tricky. There was a Mandatory Evacuation order due to Hurricane Idalia. We arrived late Saturday, and received the evacuation order Monday morning. There was no vacation. It would be awsome if they installed cleats on the dock to tie the boat with dock lines.

Excellent place to stay with family and friends, the house is very clean and very nice oversized heated pool, I would recommend this wonderful place that is only 5 minutes from the beach.

This was a perfect vacation spot for us - quiet neighborhood, large pool to cool off in, and a dock to fish from! The house itself was exactly the right size for two adults and two teenagers. No one wanted to leave…we would definitely stay here again!☀️🌊🎣🦎

5.0 / 5.0
We stayed here for a week this past June 2023, the place was everything it was listed as and more. We were surprised with the beautiful fire pit on the dock. That was great since the no see ums were pretty bad at night. The master bed was really comfortable. The only thing that I wasn’t pleased with was the water pressure in the showers. (Really a minor issue). I was also surprised with the shed and all of the pool floats, tons of beach gear that we could take with us for a beach day. I don’t think that was listed, so it was a nice surprise. It took 5-6 min to get to the actual island, little more time to get to whatever beach you choose to visit. I would 10/10 recommend this place, and it was so nice that we will most likely return. Our first trip to AMI was great, all the outside amenities at the house were great for the days you didn’t want to leave. My husband and son fished every night from the dock. I’ve already recommended this place to multiple friends who have loved our pics of the house/stay.

We stayed at Coco’s Dream for a week for our family vacation and I can tell you it was a dream come true. The oversized pool in the backyard was amazing. The kids hardly wanted to leave the house. We will definitely book here again.
4.0 / 5.0
We booked this house 2 days before our trip on a whim; I saw the pictures online and thought the pool must look bigger in the pictures than what it is in real life, but when we got there we confirmed that, NO! this pool is huge! The outside space is so wonderful! The pergula with swing was enjoyable, the seating around the pool was plenty.
The house is very comfortable. Spacious rooms with convenient bathrooms for all 3 bedrooms. The kitchen was equipped with all we needed. The views from the dining table was so nice in the morning, we enjoyed eating breakfast there.
There was only 1 negative thing I found and a few suggestions that would've taken the 4 to 5 stars.
1. Only bad thing is there was no gas for the grill or fire pit. We did refill both, you're welcome for the next guests coming in. 😁
2. There were no soaps, shampoo or body wash provided in bathrooms. We are used to it being provided we didn't bring any, and had to make a special trip to Publix just for this.
3. The floor in the patio is very slippery when wet, both my husband and my 10 year old fell because they were wet from the pool, so be careful! I'd suggest they seal it for non slip or put a thin wet/dry carpet in that area.
4. The vacuum was not working. I know we paid a cleaning fee but we like to keep our living quarters clean, we swept but the vaccum didn't suction at all, and no mop, could be fixed with a swifter mop and a working vac.
Overall, it was wonderful and we'll be back again for sure!

This is a very nice property. It is very well decorated, and conveniently located for quick access to Anna Maria Island.
The outdoor area is just outstanding. Best pool I've seen in a long time. Overall, we were very comfortable in this property, and would stay here again.
There were a handful of small issues that prevent a 5-star rating overall.....things like throw rugs that need cleaning, a shower with hair in the drain, an informational tablet that was not charged, a fire pit that would not light (this was quickly replaced by the manager), no blender, and the stove which is old and needs to be replaced, which was a total disconnect from the rest of the house. Again, nothing big, but just a little more attention to cleaning detail would elevate this property to a 5-star review.

The property was perfect and had everything that was stated in the description. It was spacious and the kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. We enjoyed the outside and pool the most. It was beautiful while we were there so we were able to us the pool everyday. Anna Marie Island was a very short drive or bike ride away and the beaches were wonderful. We met some neighbors who actually took us out for a ride on their boat. We will come back again.!

The interior of the home needs updating. Bathrooms need to be update, mold around shower inclosure was found in 2 of the bathrooms. Water pressure was low. The pillowcase on one the the beds was dirty with a stain and had to be washed immediately. There were no extra linens to change the pillowcase. Mattresses need to be updated also. House has a musty smell. Unable to open windows, they were stuck shut and also no screens in the windows even if you could open them. Kitchen was missing some common items such as a Kuerig and some common pans. The outside of the home is what makes this home. It is beautiful.

Amazing Place
Our stay was amazing, we came for our daughter and her boyfriend for graduating HS before they go off to college. We brought another couple with us also and our stay was nothing short of AMAZING . The staff decorated our place prior to coming with a few graduation decorations I had sent in and the house was great they were so surprised when we walked in. Our kids and friends loves the house , it was great. Beds were comfortable, lots of extra pool /beach towels, and so clean which I was so happy about lol. They went above and beyond and answered every question I had very promptly

Coco's dream is a dream....
From the moment we stepped in to the home we were extremely happy. It looks as beautiful as in the on line listing. We had a few questions for the host which were alway answered promptly. The pool we loved, despite the weather being cool, we were in it every day as it is heated. Large enough to do lengths, lit with decorative lighting for night swims, it was one of the best features of the place. Even on the cold evenings, we had the view out the large windows that overlook the backyard and the river, making us feel like we were outside. We are active people, and the location was such that we could run to the beach and back, and cycle to beaches and along coast even as far as Sarasota. The kitchen is fully stocked with every thing you could need for cooking. The master bedroom looks out on the pool as well and the bed is extremely comfortable. Towels galore. Really we could not have asked for anything better and loved the property. NOTE; everything you need is a drive from here i.e. food stores restaurants, theatres but close by. Bradenton has gyms, variety of food stores and as mentioned restaurant areas are close by.

Nice 2 weeks / Nice place
This place is wonderful. Beautifully redone home, super comfortable mattresses, well stocked with everything we needed like beach towels, chairs, etc. Back yard with pool and intercoastal is beautiful. Pool was having heating issues unfortunately so we didn't get as much use out of it but I must say the host was right on top of it trying to keep everyone involved happy and I'd give Alex a 5. He was a really good host. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a 5 star place.

Beautiful Beach House
The home is beautiful, spacious, and clean. It is in a quiet neighborhood, and just a short drive to the beaches. There were 5 of us, and there were more than enough beach chairs and beach towels provided. There are umbrellas as well, but we used our own cabana. I highly recommend bringing a cart/wagon of some sort to transport beach gear. Beds are comfy, and it was nice having 3 bathrooms. The home is decorated beautifully. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Perfect Family Vacation!
This house is incredible! My family and I stayed for a week and it was one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. It’s less than 10 mins from the beach and restaurants. They even have a small local restaurant that is about a 10 minute walk that has great food! The pool is HUGE and the fishing off the dock is great! The kitchen is a great size too! Lots of towels provided which was so appreciated. Everything was clean, the only thing I would suggest inside is that the bathrooms be updated, they are old. The last thing I would suggest is that a pool light be installed as well as more lighting be available out back because it gets very dark at night. All in all, it was truly an amazing place to stay and I would highly recommend it! We can’t wait to come back!!
