The Pirates practice less than 2 miles away and the famous 3 Keys Brewery is less than a quarter mile away and easily walkable.

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.

Cozy Cottage

The cottage on the canal was a perfect place to stay. It is well stocked with everything you need! Very roomy and clean. The backyard has a great relaxing view and the kids enjoyed all the games. I highly recommend staying here.

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.
