A classic Floridian fishing community

Sitting on Florida's Gulf Coast, Cortez is one of the region's last remaining fishing villages. If you're looking for a taste of the Sunshine State of old, look no further _ life hasn't changed all that much since this sliver of coast was initially settled back in the 1880s. You'll still find locals fixing up colorful fishing boats in their front yards, and you can expect the warmest of welcomes in any of the family-run restaurants and stores that line the seafront. Cortez vacation rentals run the gamut from cozy cottages to lavish historical family houses, so you can find a home-away-from-home that's just right for your needs.

Get to grips with Cortez's seafaring heritage

You'll find plenty of inspiring attractions within easy reach of your Cortez vacation rental. The village's seafaring heritage is celebrated at the Florida Maritime Museum. Its extensive collection includes spectacular seashells found around the Gulf of Mexico, intricate model ships, and countless beautifully preserved historical artifacts and photos. Less than 20 minutes away by car, the South Florida Museum explores the region's natural history, with fossils of its earliest animal inhabitants and archaeological evidence of its earliest cultures.
