The house was beautiful and we really enjoyed our short stay here. We have been vacationing in this area for years but always stayed closer to the beach. The Orchid house has changed our mind on any skepticism about staying "in town" versus the beach. We absolutely enjoyed the local restaurants, the river front park area, the HUGE front porch, and the master shower - loved the shower!

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.

We really enjoyed our short stay for our teen daughter's lacrosse tournament. I'm a bit of a bed snob, and I the king in the master was awesome for sleeping. The entire property was very clean and well appointed. The hot tub in the back was a nice little bonus. The house is located in a very quiet neighborhood, yet close to some nice restaurants in walking distance. Overall we had a great stay!

Beautiful Home and Attention to Hospitality

The host thought of everything. The house was well stocked with with linens of every type with everything labels for easy navigation of every room. Beach equipment, great laundry, amazing bedrooms with comfortable beds. Will stay here again for our next family reunion in the area! 20 minutes from the beach (@9am)... crazy traffic if you go later. Walkable to the center of Bradenton and some great little restaurants. Definitely a rare find.

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.

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.

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.

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.
