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. ##### Cheryl Ann L.

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. ##### Anthony M.

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. ##### Tina N. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David S. Jan 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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.
