Vacation Rentals with Private Boat Dock

For boaters and anglers, our dock properties offer direct water access and fishing at your doorstep.

Vacation Homes with Private Docks on the Gulf Coast

Our dock-equipped properties give you direct water access from your backyard. Dockside Dreams features a private dock on a deep-water canal connected to the Manatee River and Tampa Bay — launch a kayak at dawn, fish at sunset, or arrange a boat rental that picks you up at your own dock.

The canal system in Bradenton connects to the Intracoastal Waterway, providing access north to Tampa Bay and south to Sarasota Bay without ever entering Gulf waters. Manatees frequent these canals October through March, and dolphins are common year-round.
