So close to beaches on AMI. We had a great stay at Heart of Cortez. We rented a golf cart to go to the island for the day. It fit nicely beside the camper. We were really just there at night to sleep so it was perfect. Got up early n drove to beach in 4 minutes and had the best spot at the beaches for morning coffee n breakfast in our camper van. Our 21 foot camper fit perfect n we had water n electric. Host is very responsive. Used the campground to dump at the end of the street - all very convenient.

We loved our stay at Heart of Cortez. Emilie and her mom were wonderful hosts. Very kind and helpful. The space made you feel like you were part of this quaint little fishing village, yet everything you need or could want like the beautiful Anna Maria Island is nearby.

Emiliie’s place was quite en close to the island and Bradenton Beach. She was so friendly to give us a ride to the island. ❤️

Quiet location in the middle of an Old Florida fishing village. Many great seafood restaurants in the area. Close to the beach. We enjoyed the simple beauty of the area. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

The location is perfect. Quiet neighborhood. There is a bike rental shop across the street and makes commuting to the beach easy, only 1 mile very easy and no need to to worry about the triffic or parking! I loved staying here! We had everything we needed! Free wifi too!

Heart Of Cortez
Very simple set up and close to the beach. Just what we needed as we were passing through on a long road trip.

Omg Emilie and her mama are the sweetest, most welcoming hostesses! They greeted us! Offered an electric heater! Made recommendations for everything we had planned to do! Immediately swapped numbers! Absolutely wonderful visit! We plan to return to Cortez for a week and stay with them again!!! It’s like home away from home!

What a great spot Emilie has! Host is really nice and helpful. Quiet, historical neighborhood and on a dead end street. Several restaurant's within walking distance. I'll definitely be back!

Heart Of Cortez
We enjoyed Emilie’s place very much. The area is still recovering from devastating hurricane damage, and it was nice to find a safe and quiet spot for our RV. She was very kind and helpful

Emilie has a very quiet & clean spot with water & 50amp electric right @ side of house. She responded quickly to any messages/questions and provided us with a great spot less than 1.5 miles to the Gulf Beaches.
Excellent restaurants in Cortez we're within easy walking distance and we used Uber to get to Anna Maria Island.
Our 29' Class C with 2 driver-side slides fit in the spot well (only difficulty might be for a unit with slides on both sides).

We had the best time staying with Emilie and her family. They were so helpful and welcoming and we loved staying there. Emilie answered all of our questions quickly and had lots of recommendations for activities and restaurants. We stayed an extra day to experience the annual Cortez fishing festival and except for an enormous crowd it was fun to be a part of. We choose Cortez as it is right next to the beautiful Anna Maria Island (AMI) that we highly recommend to visit. Best fish, beaches and weather - we loved it there.

Stayed with our 21 ft travel trailer. Such a cute and comfy spot in Emilies driveway. Quiet area within walking of a few restaurants and bakery. Would stay again, the best of Old Florida in Cortez. We rode bikes over the bridge to beautiful cortez and coquina beach. Thanks Emilie!

We stayed in a 30 foot class C. Nice shaded quiet spot. You can walk to several local restaurants to grab a bite to eat. My favorite place to visit in Cortez, was the Breezy Bakery. They had several gluten free cookies and cake pops. Emilie was a great host. I hope to make this stop again!

Our stay was very quiet & very convenient. We took a short walk to the awesome waterfront restaurant at the marina. If you are looking for simple place to stay a few nights & be close to everything, this is it!
Emilie was super helpful. She initiated communication and stayed in contact over text very well. Very accommodating.
Thank you!

Heart Of Cortez
Our stay at Emilie’s was absolutely wonderful. She was so friendly and accommodating. She went out of her way to make sure we had the most wonderful time and as this was our first time to this area we so appreciated that. The area boasts plenty of big beautiful palm trees and although it’s located so close to the Island even though it was Spring break this location is so quiet and peaceful. Our only disappointment is that we couldn’t stay longer! We can’t wait to come back again!
