Not only a beautifully restored classic home, but an excellent location! We loved the front porch, beds were super comfortabl, spacious and well equipped. Nice to have a hot tub and the bikes provided as this is a great biking area. The hosts provided a nice welcome basket and the kitchen, along with all the rooms, was well equipped. We walked to town (arts and craft show on the weekend) and along the beautiful Bradenton Riverwalk. We caught a the ferry over to AMI and had a great time kayaking down on Lido Island. It was a great way to end the year.

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.

Wonderful Vacation Home

A lovely home in a quiet neighborhood but still within easy walking distance of restaurants and attractions. The house was very nice with comfortable furniture and beds. The kitchen had nice dishes and cookware and the hosts even left a lovely welcome basket! The highlight for us was the front porch. Screened so no bugs but with a seating area, table and chairs, and a swing. We spent mornings and evenings there. A really great vacation house!

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood

My sisters and I spent a "Girls trip" in this home and we absolutely loved it. The house is completely up to date, but still with some historic touches to the original house. We spent every morning having breakfast on the front porch which was so peaceful. Great location within a few blocks of the Riverwalk and downtown. We went to 3 different beaches during the trip as they were all close by. Definitely will be back and will recommend this to anyone.

Home town secret

I grew up in Bradenton and remembered how wonderful this residence was back in the day. It has been refurbished to modern day luxury standards and it did NOT disappoint. From the antiques, art collection, comfortable furniture, gourmet appointed kitchen, outdoor area, and quaint neighborhood…we really didn’t want to leave. Guess we’ll just have to come back again! 😉

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.

Moses Family Wedding at the Bishop Museum

We came down for a long weekend and our niece's wedding at the Bishop Museum. The property was perfect! It was updated but the charm is still there. The front porch is huge and very functional. We ate breakfast out there every day. We used the hot tub a few times and it's a nice touch. The property was spotless and the location was perfect. We were able to walk to the wedding! And there are restaurants, bars, and the Riverwalk within a short walk. We would stay there again for sure. We've had some great rentals in Italy, Siesta Key, Hocking Hills, Traverse City, etc. This one was up there! One more thing - having everything on one floor was perfect for my 80 year old mother.

Home away from home

Our home away from home. We have stayed here several times over the last couple of years, and cannot say enough about the beauty of the home, attention to detail, the walkability of the neighborhood and its proximity to the beaches. The home is beautifully decorated and spotless. The welcome basket is greatly appreciated and a wonderful detail. The property management team is exceptional. My husband and I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay. So much to see and do. I would highly recommend the Oak and Stone on the river downtown Bradenton. And if you’re looking for someplace out on the island, I would recommend the Mar Vista on Longboat Key. You can sit under the mangroves and enjoy the beautiful view of the bay while watching the boats come in. The food is truly exceptional. I don’t forget the Bishop Museum in downtown Bradington. A wonderful way to spend a soggy afternoon.

Our New Favourite in Bradenton!

Brilliant property. Loved Orchid House - our new favourite in Bradenton! Pretty much perfect on many levels, not least the quiet/secure location close to the downtown and Riverwalk, and especially the layout and styling. Couldn't have hoped for a better standard of rental. Property is equipped with everything you'd need for a very comfortable stay, and/or day at the beach. Certainly missing our daily breakfasts and time spent daydreaming on the cosy front porch. Exceptional rear outdoor facilities also, not least the gazebo and firepit ... and not forgetting the hot tub! No issues, everything works just fine. House managers were extremely friendly and quick to respond to any questions. Very much appreciated the card and welcome basket of items that greeted us on arrival, including the addition of English Tea! Like others have said, we'll certainly be back! David and Jacky, UK.
