Lovely home in the middle of Brandenton

The house was perfectly stocked with necessities; clean and tidy, and very spacious and well laid out. We felt very comfortable there and enjoyed all the house had to offer. Thank you for having this little treasure tucked away for us to enjoy; one of the best VRBO homes I have stayed in by far.

As we pulled up to the house the landscaping was so beautiful. The front porch was perfect for any time of the day to enjoy. The beds were supportive and soft, truly the best combination of both.

Amazing, comfy home for the holidays

We stayed at Orchid House for 13 nights over the Christmas holiday. There were 4 adults in our party. This home was one of our favorite rentals. It was charming with plenty of indoor and outdoor entertaining areas and two electric fireplaces. The kitchen was well-appointed. Everything was very clean. Location is within easy walking distance to the Manatee Riverwalk area and historic Bradenton. Check in was easy. The front porch was our favorite hangout spot. The home was decorated for the holidays. The backyard seating area with its hot tub, natural gas fireplace, and seating area had twinkle lights at night. Highly recommend. We would definitely rent this home again.
