The Sapphire Sea Star - Bradenton, FL

Staying at this gorgeous single-story house on a deepwater canal will feel like a vacation in itself. Venture out by land or by sea, with beaches just a quick drive away and direct canal access by boat from the private dock. One of the best vantage points for watching passing watercraft is the private pool in the beautiful professionally landscaped backyard. Underneath the adjacent tropical gazebo, you'll find the Blackstone griddle and outdoor dining table ideal for hosting an intimate cookout or sipping a frozen cocktail while listening to the pool spa's cascading fountain. If you need a little shade without sacrificing the sunshine, hang out in the lounge area on the screened porch for the best of both worlds.

The home's interior features abundant natural light in an airy space tastefully decorated in a coastal theme appropriate for being so close to the local beaches.
