You’ll enjoy being part of Historic Cortez, one of the last working fishing villages in the nation, offering fresh local seafood, charming waterfront spots, and scenic beauty right outside your door. There is a private community dock and fishing pier at the end of the street wher year-round sunsets over Sarasota Bay await you, creating the ideal way to end each day.
