I recently stayed at this property in Cortez, FL, and it was an amazing experience. Every day, we got to see manatees right from the property, which was the highlight of our trip. The location was peaceful and perfect for relaxing by the water. Overall, I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a serene getaway in Cortez.

That sounds like a pretty magical stay, Brandon. We’re so glad you enjoyed your time at Salty Seagull at Hunter’s Point by AMI Locals. Those manatee sightings right from the property never get old that’s the kind of peaceful, waterfront experience people come to the island for. Quiet, relaxing, and right by the water… hard to beat that combo. Really appreciate the recommendation and come back anytime for more of those serene island days!
The house was great, had everything we needed. We were able to enjoy the pool since it was heated. We would definitely stay again!

Hi, William, thank you for the kind review! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and were able to spot some manatees in the canal. That is one of my favorite things to do on a Sunday on the island, kayak and manatee watch! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future! We are always running amazing deals at AMI Locals!
Thank you,

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay. The house is modern and clean. The outdoor patio space was our goto for morning coffee and watching the Osprey and seeing manatee in the canal. While the construction noise caught us off guard during the day, the evenings were extremely quiet. Great location and neighborhood. Look forward to returning!

Close to a coffee shop for morning walk - less than 10 minutes to local beaches and within 30 of AMI - beach chairs, wagon and umbrellas. Towels available too. Quiet and pool was perfect after a hot beach day.

We had an incredible time at this property. Everything in it is high quality and good taste.
Having an under the roof pool, was amazing.
Communication was excellent and fast at every moment.
We would definitely come back many times.
This was the nicest beach house we’ve ever stayed in. It was so pretty and everything was super clean and all linens had a fresh, clean smell. We loved the private pool and dock, we even got to see several manatees right by the dock. We didn’t have any needs, but we received several texts making sure everything was okay. Will definitely be booking here again.

Perfect location and spacious home
This home in a new environmentally conscious was remarkable in that it survived 2 devastating hurricanes, unscathed. The 3 bedrooms were comfortable with ample closets throughout. However, there is minimal storage for clothing other than at the top of closet.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! It’s remarkable to hear how this home withstood two devastating hurricanes unscathed, a true testament to its environmentally conscious design. We’re glad you found the bedrooms comfortable and appreciated the ample closet space. We also appreciate your feedback about the storage for clothing, and we’ll look into ways to improve this for future guests. Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back soon!
We enjoyed the house very much, the location was great, the bay was perfect for kids fishing, we saw manatee, dolphins, and my kids caught and released a few catfish. We had paddle boards and the kids loved this.
My only issue was there is a lot of construction going on right now in the new neighborhood, construction men working on house next to us made it a bit uncomfortable as my girls and I felt like we were constantly being watched as we enjoyed the pool and sunning loungers. Lots of noise early 6:30 am and throughout the day.
Aside from that minor flaw the house was beautiful, clean, and communication with management was great. The community will be perfect once construction is complete. My family would rent this home again.
Thank you for a great week
The house is new and clean. The beds were comfortable and lots of space in each room. However there are a lot of stairs and no lift to haul your belongings and groceries. The master shower only has very warm to hot shower so if your sunburnt or over heated you will not get relief with a cold shower. Also the downstairs sliding door and a window in the stairwell has no blinds so the heat filters in the house. And be sure to bring citronella because around 4 pm the no seeums will eat you up at the pool. But on the plus side we seen manatees in the canal behind the house almost every day. And it’s just minutes from the beach. All in all I still give it 5 stars!

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback and for giving us 5 stars despite a few challenges during your stay! We’re so glad to hear you appreciated the clean, spacious house, comfortable beds, and the incredible bonus of spotting manatees in the canal—what a treat! It’s also wonderful that the beach was just minutes away for your convenience.
We appreciate your notes about the stairs and will continue to highlight this feature for future guests. We’re sorry to hear about the issues with the master shower temperature and the heat from the sliding door and window. We’ll look into these concerns to see how we can improve the experience for future visitors.
As for the no-see-ums, they can be pesky during certain times of the day. Thank you for the citronella tip—it's a great reminder for island living!
We’re delighted you still had such a positive experience, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for another memorable stay.
Our recent getaway at this vacation rental in the new green community near the beach was truly special. We visit Florida every year with a group of dear friends for the holidays, and this was our first foray into booking a rental home instead of a hotel. The smart home's eco-friendly touches were impressive, but what stood out the most was the genuinely warm upscale feel, and welcome of the place. Just a mile from the beach, it felt like a home away from home. Mornings were peaceful, with the sound of waves in the distance. The homeowners behind this place seem to genuinely care – not just about the environment, but about creating a comfortable space for their guests. If you're looking for a place that combines modern convenience, eco-friendliness, and a sincere sense of hospitality, this spot in the growing green community is worth checking out. Thank you so much for hosting us. The Tesla charger was a lifesaver! 5 stars!
