About this home
~~~ PRICE DROP ~~~ Rarely available waterfront opportunity directly on the scenic Intracoastal Waterway in Bradenton Beach. This charming Old Florida–style cottage is filled with character, warmth, and breathtaking water views. One of the true highlights of this property is the ability to keep your boat right out back and enjoy immediate access to the Intracoastal’s beautiful, navigable waters. Tucked away on quiet and little-known Canasta Street—just one block long—this home offers privacy and a true island feel that many don’t even realize exists. The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence has not been part of a rental program for over eight years and has been lovingly enjoyed as a private island getaway. The property is being sold as is and presents an exceptional opportunity to renovate and restore its coastal charm or start fresh and build the island home of your dreams. Whether you envision a personal retreat or a high-performing vacation rental, the potential here is undeniable. An additional opportunity exists, as the neighboring property to the south at 2306 Canasta, also a 9,000-square-foot waterfront parcel, is available from the same owner and may be purchased together. Combine both parcels for an extraordinary 18,000 square feet of prime Intracoastal waterfront—a truly rare chance to create something exceptional on Anna Maria Island.
Local Insight
At $1,743/sqft for a 1997 build on Bradenton Beach waterfront, you're paying a premium for location and water access rather than recent construction or square footage—the 1,248 sqft footprint is modest for this price point, so the value argument really hinges on the direct waterfront and private pool offsetting an older home that may need updates. The AE flood zone is a serious consideration here; flood insurance costs will be substantial and you'll want to verify elevation, flood history, and what improvements have been made since 1997 to mitigate risk. The lack of HOA is a plus for flexibility, but given the waterfront exposure and age, factor in potential seawall maintenance, saltwater corrosion issues, and whether a full inspection reveals deferred maintenance common in older beachfront properties.
