Wonderful restaurants, shopping, gorgeous beaches, Anna Maria Island, St Armands Circle, Longboat Key, Lido Key Beach, downtown Sarasota and the airport are all within 10-20 minutes. IMG Academy is less than 5 miles away.

We have never personally been to a more magical place! The kayaking is amazing with nature views and the most tranquil canals that stretch for miles! The canal leads to the Gulf of Mexico and you will be thrilled at all the wildlife that call it home here. You will not be disappointed!! Relax and float on our 4 kayaks (one is a double), one Paddle board, also you can bring your own boat or rent one.

Wonderful fishing! Feel free to use one of our fishing rods. There are flying fish such as Mullet, Snook etc. and so many different kinds of birds, turtles and of course manatee families who live here!! Friendly blue herons are fed by neighbors and they are so tame that they will follow you around the yard wanting to make friends with you (don't be scared they would never hurt you).

Swim in the heated, saltwater pool and in the evening, relax by the fire pit with a glass of wine. You won't ever want to leave!

In the garage, you will find tons of beach equipment, Tommy Bahama chairs, umbrellas, toys, floats, coolers, etc. There are also 2 adult bikes, yard and beach games for children, an Arcade machine with 60 games to choose from, Foos Ball machine and a gorgeous bar. (The garage is NOT air conditioned though and we ask that you keep the inside door closed.)

For those with limited mobility, we have a shower seat, walker and a sturdy cane for your use. Our one level home is perfect for entertaining young and old! We also have a pack-n-play and a high chair for little ones.

As Super Hosts, we have welcomed guests to our vacation homes for over 21 years and this home is one of our favorites! We cannot wait to share it with you!

Relaxing venue
The house is great inside and the nature views from the screened deck don’t disappoint. We kayaked several days, once to the bay, and enjoyed seeing manatees up close right in front of the house !

Christmas in Florida
What a perfect property for our family Christmas! With 3 grandchildren traveling with us, the Christmas decorations were a very nice touch. The house is amazing and the hosts are even better. After inquiring about child size life jackets, Bonnie purchased 4 in varying sizes to accommodate our needs. Wow! Bonnie also checked in with us to see if we needed anything and offered recommendations when we had questions about the area. Daily kayak rides down the canal, fishing successes (a huge snook caught by my son-in-law) and family foosball tournaments were enjoyed by the entire family. Definitely recommend this property!

Amazing 2 week stay!
We chose this location based on its canal/waterfront. We stayed for 2 weeks. The location is ideal, close to Sarasota airport, IMG, aquarium, Anna Marie, and many more. The home is as the pictures show, very comfortable and very well appointed. There wasn’t a time I looked for something and didn’t find it available. The canal is calm and we saw many heron, cormorants, manatees, mullets jumping and massive tarpon. The kayaks and paddle boards were a bonus way to explore the area, it is easy to get out in and out with the waterfront landing. Our favorite was to sit on the back porch/upper lanai and soak in the sun. Master bedroom is very private from the other bedrooms. Neighborhood is very quiet. Would love to return!

Our Bradenton home is our most favorite home! We were wowed the first time we set foot inside and saw manatees in the backyard!! Not only do manatees live here (mostly from Oct to May) but there are always flying fish which will delight you every few minutes!! I have never seen anything like it personally! I had never personally been to a more magical place! The kayaking is amazing with mangrove tunnels and the most tranquil canals that stretch for miles! The canal leads to the Gulf of Mexico and you will be thrilled at all the wildlife that call it home here. You will not be disappointed!!
