Bradenton Waterfront Vacation Homes

Wake up to shimmering water views and end your day watching the sunset from your private dock.

Bradenton Waterfront Vacation Rentals — Canal & River Views

Wake up to water views and watch dolphins, manatees, and pelicans from your backyard. Our waterfront Bradenton rentals sit on navigable canals connected to the Manatee River and Tampa Bay — meaning you can fish from the dock, launch a kayak, or arrange a boat rental that picks you up at home.

Dockside Dreams sits on a deep-water canal with a private dock that accommodates boats up to 30 feet. The canal connects to the Manatee River in minutes, opening up access to Tampa Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, and Gulf fishing grounds. Manatee sightings from the dock are common October through April.
