Private historical completely renovated cottage with 60 ft dock on Sarasota Bay

Great spot in the middle of everything, short drives to every beach and restaurant, low key area and a great place to relax.

Was down for a place and looking for place close to water - and cozy - was the perfect spot! Clean, reasonable and easy host to deal with

The location was great. We walked to a local restaurant that was on the water. Close to the beach. Property was quiet and had everything we needed to rest and unwind. Close to lote of great restaurants on the water.

This place was a gem! We loved our stay here. Cozy, clean, fun to have bikes to ride and kayaks to enjoy. No complaints!!! I'd come back any time.

Great location …. Right on the water…boats going by all the time…very peaceful. Walking distance to local restaurants. We will be back

We ABSOLUTELY loved our stay here!!

Everything was clean and welcoming

Pictures do not accurately reflect this home. Yard is in disarray and uncared for in the front yard and backyard. Needs some serious organization and cleaning. Inside of home was clean, however lacked blankets and bathroom comforts such as nice towels.

The host was always available! The cottage is adorable and homey. Wonderful location and had everything you need for a fun experience.

Very peaceful place. Would love to come back!

We had a fabulous time! The cottage is very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. We fished off of the dock and walked over to Anna Maria Island everday. The beaches are lovely. Very friendly people and the weather was perfect. Communication with Steve was very good. Great seafood restaurants. We loved Tide Tables!

This is a favorite getaway cottage for our family. With stunning water views in the historic fishing village of Cortez it is truly a “gem”. The host Robert is always helpful, welcoming and responsive. It has plenty of space outdoors for eating, relaxing, playing games. We love the kitchen and indoor space after enjoying visits to the beaches and Sarasota. As a historical neighborhood, It is also great for walking and exploring. Look forward to our next visit!

This has to be the best property we have stayed at yet. The house was equipped with everthing you need. Everything was right at your fingertips. Location was excellent as well, ver close to everything, restuarants, beach, souviner shops, even St Armands Circle was not far away. Just the perfect place to get away.

This well-appointed home with modern amenities is quiet, comfortable and on the water. Watch boats go by, fish jump out of the water and a variety of waterbirds. We were fortunate to see wild parrots land on a nearby tree! Enjoy the peaceful view from two sets of sliders, back porch and dock, or explore the many beaches, restaurants and shops.

We LOVE staying here! The cutest little getaway! The host is attentive and always great. This is a piece of paradise tucked away-just a short walk from great restaurants, and a little drive to the beach. Will always recommend this stay!

It was quiet and peaceful. We had everything we needed and look forward to staying here again.

Quiet and adorable!! Amazing views!! Absolutely worth the stay!! We will be back!!

Beautiful place. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the cottage. It was perfect to go do the tourist stuff and come back to a peaceful little oasis! Will definitely plan future visits!

Lovely property. Peaceful and private.

Very nice inside and out, super location, 10 minutes to the beach. Owner was very responsive, we will definitely stay there again!! A

We had a great time at the Gray Fulford House. Two bedrooms was perfect for our family. The pull out couch in the second bedroom was very comfortable. So easy to get to the beaches, though plan carefully if you have to go out on the weekends. We had to run to the store and it took forever to get back to the cottage, as everyone was trying to get to the beach. We loved using the kayaks and seeing all the birds, lizards and fish. It was a quiet neighborhood, but the few random people we saw out and about were very friendly. The owner was quick to fix the bikes as my husband got a flat tire on his ride. The deck stairs and dock into the water are a bit different than the photos online, but I'm guessing this is due to the hurricane last year. Still very safe and sturdy to go on though.

Enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect.

Wonderful long weekend on the water. Cozy and well stocked property.

The house and location were amazing. We came shortly after the hurricanes (Helene and Milton), so the area was still rebuilding, but this house was an oasis. You can't beat the view, walking distance to some great restaurants, truly a special place. The house was very clean and equipped with almost everything you could possibly need. Can't wait to come back!

Such a wonderful rental. It's a historic property with an above average renovation. The amenities and host communication made for an excellent stay We were there a couple of weeks after the hurricanes and except for a couple of exterior features the entire property was near perfect.
