Coffee starters are provided. The home has a fairly open floor plan with 2 living areas, a large dining area and a dedicated work space complete with docking station, laptop stand and extra monitor. The home is equipped with a netgear high speed router to help with work calls and streaming throughout the home. The large Florida room overlooks the backyard and dock on the canal. The Sofa bed in the Florida Room is a queen size and the sliding door leading to the rest of the house closes, so the room can function like a private bedroom as well. The trundle under the twin bed (In the 2nd bedroom) is a twin size.

2 fishing poles and tackle box
beach gear (chairs, umbrella, towels, sand toys, beach cart, etc). Lots of games for the whole family. The Riverwalk expansion is about a half mile down the road and is a full 3 miles long. The Pittsburgh Pirates practice less than 2 miles away and the famous 3 Keys Brewery is less than a quarter mile away and easily walkable. Cook on the grill, fish off the dock with the provided fishing poles, play a game of jenga, practice your putting, or just relax, overlooking the water. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the beach. Fish often jump out of the water on the canal, so don't be alarmed. Fun to sit and watch.

At night, be aware there are possums, racoons and other nocturnal creatures around the back and front yard. And it's Florida - plan on bugs all times of the year.

During busy season, plan to get to the beach early to find parking. Any time after 11am and parking fills up.

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.
