Loved our stay at the Cottage on the Canal. We were in town for a tournament at Lakewood Ranch so the house is about 20 minutes away. We were close enough to go to the beach on our day off. The fishing off the dock was a great activity and there were plenty of other outdoor games for the kids. We also loved the coffee bar and the working station too. Our host was great and communicated so quickly with everything. Would love to stay here again!

Casa Blue Bradenton

Very nice property in a great location. The accommodations were perfect for our group of 4 seniors. The house was very clean and comfortable for the two couples. Unfortunately, we did not take advantage of the outdoor amenities at the house because we were busy with friends.

Quiet canal getaway.

This was a perfect fit for me, my wife and our dog. I was able to launch my kayak from the secluded dock and fish every morning. The yard was perfect for us, very well lit at night and several seating areas to get out of the sun. We would definitely come back.

The property was clean upon arrival. The host was more then gracious and extremely accommodating. Fenced yard was great for the dogs. Pool was a plus to have on the days we felt like being lazy, but with the provided boat dock, we brought a boat and spent most the days in the water. Caught several nice catfish from the dock also. Will definitely be looking into rebooking this beautiful home at a later date.

We really enjoyed this house, I wish we could could have stayed longer. It was also our first visit to Bradenton and it's cute little town that I would love to return to. We had breakfast at Robin's which was absolutely delicious, we highly recommend the grilled cinnamon rolls.

About the host

Hosted by Becca Graves

Host profile image
Hi there! I’m an empty nester from Austin, TX, now enjoying life with my energetic doodle and three wonderful grandkids (hoping for more!). Hosting is my way of sharing comfort, joy, and a little slice of peace with others. I’ve tried to stock the home with everything you might need—from beach gear to baby supplies—so you can focus on relaxing and making memories. I truly hope you enjoy your stay.

Why they chose this property

This home has that charming Old Florida feel, with its brick and cobblestone driveway and cozy cottage vibe. The neighborhood is quiet, walkable, and full of character. You’re just half a mile from the Riverwalk expansion and less than a quarter mile from peaceful waterfront strolls. It’s incredibly relaxing to sit by the canal and watch the fish jump. Plus, being on a large corner lot with no neighbors behind, the home offers a surprising amount of privacy—perfect for unwinding.

What makes this property unique

This peaceful canal-front property has just one neighbor and a rare sense of privacy. Lounge by the pool, practice your putting, or simply watch fish jump from the water out back—it’s a relaxing, Florida moment you won’t forget. The home is close enough to the beach for easy day trips, yet far enough to avoid the island’s traffic and crowds. It’s the perfect blend of convenience, calm, and charm.
