About this property

Open Water Home with lots of dolphin and manatee sightings. Boat docking.

  • Adorable Coastal Home; Boats can be kept on seawall or side yard. Perfect location: close to beaches, and downtown Bradenton, Sarasota, and St. Petersburg - 45 min to downtown Tampa. Great nautical location, less than 25 minutes to open Gulf. Enjoy the Manatee river with the outdoor fire pit and cast a reel while enjoying the sunset views.

We adored the home and it met all our needs. Had a cat fish carnival with fishing and breezy days hanging out off the point even had a small fire for roasting marshmallows. Location was great for a family stay.

Loved our stay here. House was very clean and the location is perfect. Walking up to the sunrise and ending our day with a fire in fire pit were probably my favorite parts. A relaxing stay in a lovely waterfront home. Having a Host that’s very responsive with clear communication put my mind at ease with this rental. We plan to rent here again when at all possible!

We loved this place! It is exactly like it is pictured. The view of the river from inside is unbelievable! We could see dolphins every morning, afternoon and evening. The only negative thing. Is the king size bed. It is way too low to the ground with a large wood frame around it which is a hazard getting up in the middle of the night. We slept there one night and switched to the other bedroom with a queen size bed. One other thing, there is no swimming pool, which would of been a bonus!

5/5 A Perfect Peaceful Getaway!Our stay at this home on the water in Ellenton was absolutely wonderful. The setting is serene and peaceful the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed the moment you arrive. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved waking up to the tranquil water views and enjoying quiet evenings in the backyard. The host was incredibly accommodating and made sure every detail was just right. Highly recommend this little slice of paradise for anyone looking to unwind and recharge!

Beautiful view of manatee river! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets

We have stayed at this property twice. Love the house, front porch all windows, view of manatee river is beautiful. Dolphins in the morning around 10:00 am. We will visit again in the fall.

We travel quite a bit and this house is one of our new favorites! We homeschool and try to have eco trips at least once a week. In this house it was everyday! We caught fish and Blue Crabs right off the sea wall. You'll watch the sun rise and set over the Manatee River! Dolphins too. House was clean and easy to find. Convenient to parks and beaches. Places to eat are near as well. We would love to stay again!

Great water view and very clean.

Our family of three really enjoyed this rental. Very clean and functional. Great view of Manatee River and close to attractions. We visited the Bradenton Motorsport Park, the aquarium in Tampa and enjoyed an airboat/gator spotting ride in Arcadia.

Great experience

We recently had a weekend soccer tournament in the area and this house was perfect for the trip. We loved the fire pit, the quiet street, and the house was spacious and clean. We were able to visit a couple great beaches that were within easy driving distance. Sunrises and sunsets were amazing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area.
