Book your one-of-a-kind private home WITH A DOCK on a deep water canal at an unbeatable price!
The Water's Edge is a charming two bedroom, one-and-a-half bath single family home nestled in south Bradenton's Bayshore Gardens neighborhood. It's the perfect spot for vacationers who want to spend lots of time exploring by boat, or for those who want easy, convenient access to everything the Sarasota/Bradenton area has to offer, from world-famous beaches on four ...nearby barrier islands, to a wide selection of performing and visual arts and everything in between. You can easily do it ALL from here!
Starting inside the house, you'll enjoy the fully updated kitchen, complete with a breakfast bar and dining area that seats four. The living room is comfortably furnished for watching movies or enjoying conversation with the family. Off to the side, a sun porch is a great spot to read, and features a queen sleeper sofa for additional guests.
One of the greatest things about ground floor living is how easy it is to enjoy your home! Just down the hall from the living area you'll find a spacious master bedroom with its own sitting area and a king bed. The guest bedroom, down the same hallway, has two twin beds. Both bedrooms offer guests their own televisions. The shared full bath has a combination tub and shower, with a half bath off the laundry area for those times when one bathroom just isn't enough!
And the comfortable living extends to the outside as well! The large breezeway isn't intended for vehicles, but is a great place to set up corn hole and other games. Across the carport from the kitchen you'll find the laundry room and that half bath. And at the back of the carport is a screened patio, complete with a ping-pong table, as well as a dining table that can seat six.
From the screened patio, make your way out to the back yard, where you can catch some rays and enjoy the sights and sounds of boats and birds on the canal. Sunrises are a treat from this vantage point! This is also a great place for the anglers in the family to set up shop. Catch dinner from the dock, and then prep it at the fish cleaning station!
Although the boat lift is not available for guest use, the rest of the sizeable dock is the perfect spot to tie up your boat so you'll be ready to spend your days on the water. If you bring your own boat, you can launch it nearby and keep the trailer in the driveway. Don't have your own boat? Not to worry! You can rent one nearby, because with access like this, you'll want to spend at least part of your vacation exploring the area by water. With deep water access, you can travel from your dock through the calm waters of Sarasota Bay and even out to the Gulf of Mexico! Why not visit the famous beaches of Longboat Key and Anna Maria by boat, rather than dealing with traffic! This area is also known as a kayak haven - you're only 8 houses from the bay and close to many sandbars and natural mangrove tunnels.
When you're ready to explore the area, you'll find excellent options in every direction, including fresh seafood from amazing restaurants accessible by land or sea. Dining by boat? Try Mar Vista at the north end of Longboat Key, and Tide Tables or the Swordfish Grill in Cortez. For days of enjoyment at the beach, Indian Beach Park has an observation deck, and is less than 5 miles away. The beaches of Anna Maria Island are about 20 minutes away by land or boat (depending on traffic, of course!). IMG Academy is a short 10 minute drive and less than 4 miles away. This is a rare, affordable find with a prime location within a short drive to just about everything you might want to do on your vacation!
There is a community park on the next block over on 26th street. It is called Bayshore Gardens Park and Recreational District. You can swim in the Olympic-sized swimming pool and enjoy the deck/patio area for a fee. There is a playground, basketball court, ball field, pavilions with BBQ grills, and a fishing pier with a cleaning station all free to use. You can also rent a slip at the marina or reserve the recreational hall for events.
Sleeps 4 to 6 people in one king, two twins, and one queen sleeper sofa.
PLEASE NOTE:
1. The boat lift is NOT available for guest use. However, the rest of the large dock is available for you to tie up your boat!
2. The owners ask that guests not park in the carport, as it ruins the finish on the floor. There is, however, plenty of parking available in the driveway. Additionally, trailers are welcome in the driveway!
3. If you're bringing your dog (pet fee will apply), they must be leashed when outside. All pet waste must be removed from property prior to departure.
*PET OWNERS: This property is dog friendly for one dog with a maximum weight of 30 pounds and a non-refundable pet fee for the first week. There is an additional fee per week for any additional weeks booked. Also, certain breeds are excluded. It is necessary that you check with our office prior to your trip for details on weight and breed limitations.
Our Cancellation Policy: In order to protect our owners from loss of income, ALL MONIES PAID TOWARDS YOUR RESERVATION MAY BE NON-REFUNDABLE AFTER A CERTAIN DATE! FULL AND PARTIAL REFUNDS MAY BE GIVEN UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. Ask our office for details, or check your rental agreement.

Place was as described but asked for early check in a week early and day of, still hadn’t received check in information (it went to spam). When I called the person on the phone was short with me but said she would do what she could to get me in early, yet she never called me to tell me it was ready. I just went there at 4 and got in.

We had a great stay. The home was cool and inviting as we arrived with the AC running and TV's on. All the information was accurate and the dining and entertainment suggestions very helpful.
We brought our 20ft bow-rider and loved being able to use the dock. It made getting out into the gulf super easy and fun. We really enjoyed our stay.

My family and I enjoyed our stay here over the long weekend. My father-in-law spent the majority of the time fishing in the backyard (which was perfect for him!) and kitchen was spacious enough for my mother-in-law and I to cook together and not be in each other’s way :). We also loved the size of the garage/porch and despite the heat, managed to hang out there a bit as well!The only parts that we didn’t like from our stay was the cleanliness of the floor and the dust buildup on the vent in the bathroom. The buttons to choose ice/water on the refrigerator was broken but we figured out how to get the ice from the icemaker and place it into a bin in the freezer. Not a vacation ruiner though!Overall, the place was great and would be willing to stay again!
