Located in Cortez, this holiday home is near the beach. Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium is a popular attraction and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Coquina Beach and Longboat Key Beaches. Travelling with kids? Consider Fish Hole Adventure Golf and Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf. Jet skiing and kayaking offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding and cycling nearby.
The Ice House was the perfect stay. Petra has thought of everything. She is very responsive and thoughtful. The house is beautiful and the back yard is relaxing and private. It is in a quiet neighborhood right before the bridge to Anna Maria. It is also in walking distance to a cute coffee shop and great seafood. My family will stay again if we come back to this area. We didn’t want to leave!

Thank you Carrie for your kind words. We were so happy to host you. You guys were amazing guests. Thank you for everything
Petra was welcoming, friendly and can anticipate your needs in advance. The home was stylish and fully equipped inside and out. The outdoor area was dreamy starting with the pool, gorgeous outdoor grill, pool and land toys. The location is five minutes from beaches, restaurants and sunsets. It was everything we expected! The perfect getaway.
Great place to say. Well equipped and clean! The location is awesome. Enjoyed the outdoor area and pool! There were some unexpected extras that were much appreciated. Petra was easy to work with and responded quickly when we asked questions! Thank you Petra!
Everything about this house matches and exceeds how it was described! The homeowner responded immediately to all questions. The check in process was super easy and the house has everything you will ever need for a family vacation. Highly recommend this home for you next vacation in paradise!
The Ice House was the perfect vacation house with all of the amenities. Petra went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and was so easy to communicate with. The best part is the outdoor area. I could have spent all of my time there relaxing in the pool, lounging, and enjoying the fire pit and grilling area. The house is minutes from Anna Maria Island. We rented a golf cart and were able to take that right over the bridge to the beaches. We will definitely be visiting again!
Wow this place was amazing from top to bottom! Besides being immaculate they had everything you need from extra toothbrush to bike . Outdoor space with the pool was my favorite .
Also, communication with host was great!
Definitely coming back!

Thank you so much ! We are so happy that you had a good time in our Ice house.
We absolutely enjoyed staying at this house & having a little getaway me and my fiance. We were able to celebrate new chapters in our life and take a moment to ourselves and the house made it all possible. We love all that comes with the home, such as the bikes, which we utilized and explored throughout the area with & all the other amenities. They thought of everything! We are definitely planning on staying again in the future. 10/10 recommend.

Thank you ! We cant wait to have you back!
What a pleasure to host you .
The Ice House is a gem in the historic Cortez fishing village. The home exceeds the pictures, and it has every amenity you can think of. The details of tasteful and up to date decor gets the vacay vibes going. We felt relaxed from the moment we opened the door. Our family of 5 had the best week ever there. The pool is the perfect size and even has a bathroom outdoors. We drank coffees by the fire pit, made breakfast on the outdoor grill, drank cocktails by the pool, and appreciated the bikes, fishing poles, and pool house toys. If you know the area it’s walking distance to some our favorites;Cortez Fish Market, Breezy Bakery, Tide Tables, Starfish Company, Swordfish and Cortez Kitchen. Just over the Cortez bridge you can rent a jet ski, SUP or catamaran sailboat from Coastal Water Sports right on the Gulf! Great host and house- 5 Stars all the way.
This home is stunning, impeccably clean, and just minutes from the beach.
Petra did a fantastic job making sure her guests have everything they could possibly need.
I have stayed in the Bradenton/AMI area multiple times. Petra is, hands down, the best host I have ever dealt with. She was in communications with me the entire trip.
I quickly started to stress when Tropical Storm/Hurricane Debbie was on the way and canceled two of our flights. However, Petra quickly responded that we could stay an additional THREE more days till we were able to reschedule our flights. I was extremely grateful for her kindness and hospitality. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. I'm already looking at when we can return and stay at her wonderful home again.
