Everyone in our group loved the house and location! We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, colors, decor of the house, plus the various spaces that we had to hangout: the inside living area, the modern/stocked kitchen & comfortable dining space, the pool & patio, front porch hammock (my daughter’s favorite), and my personal favorite was the front porch with four sturdy white rockers! We all seemed to spend time in each area at some point of our stay. The beach cruisers were used on the Riverwalk at least once each day (reports of seeing “mama and baby” dolphins!), others appreciated their walks on the Riverwalk and to the awesome restaurants. Favorites were Pier 22, Oak & Stone rooftop and Sage Biscuit - all close by. Our matriarch/ Mom / Nana lives in Bradenton and it was a short drive for her to visit us daily at the house. My niece was a late arrival due to work obligations and she wanted to stay longer!! Thanks for a wonderful stay - definitely on our list to return! GQ

We stayed @ the Riverhouse Retreat for my sons’s wedding. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect location! The home is within walking distance to the river, shops and restaurants. The beautiful home was perfect for photos of my son and his groomsmen as they got ready for the wedding as well as for our brunch the morning after. Thank you, Randy, for all of your support in making this a memorable weekend!

Riverside Retreat is a lovely historic home that is well-appointed with everything you could need. While having the charm of a historic home, it is decorated to be warm & welcoming with comfortable furniture and beds. After a late arrival, it was wonderful to have coffee and tea available when we awoke! Little details not always offered, but so appreciated when you do find one like this! Riverwalk in Bradenton was an enjoyable way to start the day & the front porch was a great spot for morning coffee. We would definitely return to this home.

Was looking for a place close to Grandma's and this was only a block away. Location was great for proximity to shops, restaurants, etc. Lots of room for the kiddos to spread out and even had some movies and toys for entertainment. Saw several reviews complaining about rules but the rules are nothing more than reminders about respecting the property and how to do so. They are by no means overbearing or out of line. The expectations for staying here were far exceeded by my whole family, and I hope to return in the future. Wonderful decor, wonderful pool, wonderful amenities, just simply amazing.

Some constructive criticisms: 1. Fans in bathrooms do not work 2. Light out over washer/dryer 3. Toilet on 2nd floor not a comfort height for an adult 4. Toilet on second floor does not flush properly 5. Palmetto bugs in upstairs bathroom 6. Kitchen cabinet door warped and does not shut properly 7. Blue paint marks on kitchen wall from chair 8. Filtered water dispenser handle is not anchored, needs repair 9. Update 3 ring binder for changes (i.e. snacks provided and recycle procedures). 10. No instruction for TV use. Last person there did not close out their Amazon and Netflix accounts. 11. No greeting on site from owner.

The house is stunning on the outside and does not disappoint on the inside! It is also stocked with plenty of dishes and cooking utensils. The owners go above expectations by having cabinets of toys along with multiple pack n plays with sheets. We didn’t need the pack n plays but having a young child, that caught my attention as a nice thing to have when it’s needed. The location was great for strolls down the River walk or to restaurants. There is a park and museum nearby that was also a short walk. Our only issue with our stay was that it wasn’t long enough. We look forward to staying again! Thank you!

We had a fantastic week with our adult and teen kids! It was awesome to have many things within walking distance (Corwin's Ice Cream along Riverwalk and Kefi got repeat visits from us). Day trips to Siesta Key and Anna Maria Island were easy drives. The house is lovely and well-appointed. We made great memories here!

We rented the home for our son's wedding at Pier 22. The home was beautiful and spacious! We had plenty of room to spread out as we prepared for several wedding events. The back porch/pool area was perfect for friends and family who stopped by to share pizza, and the front porch was perfect for that morning cup of coffee. Our only regret is that we were not able to spend more time to enjoy the beautiful area. Thank you for allowing us to bring our fur babies along too. We truly felt at home!

Absolutely beautiful property. This historic home is so well appointed and in great location near the River and Downtown. We took the grandkids to the natural history museum and had a great time. We loved the pool and the bikes. Michele and Ed are wonderful hosts. We will visit and stay here again!

This house is adorable. Kitchen had everything we needed including a blender. The owners were easy to work with and very accommodating. The set up of the bedrooms and bathrooms is a little odd (a couple of “Jack and Jill” bathrooms, rooms had weird angles), but the house is very old so that is to be expected. The house is only a block off the Manatee River. The riverwalk is great for walking or biking (4 bikes are available for your use). There are lots of restaurants close to the house. I definitely Recommend this house.

This couple should not be renting out their house. The wife was a nervous wreck renting out to me and my family after the people who were in there before us flooded their toilet which in turn ruined a downstairs wall and their hard wood floor. I do not blame her for being upset but she called me up to let me know what happened and then continued to tell me how people who she had rented to use too many towels, they are not considered when using the air conditioning in the house and the list went on. When we arrived at 4 pm check in time her husband and the hired man who was fixing the wall were still working and the house smelled of fumes. The husband apologized and put on a few fans and opened windows while the wife walked me through the house going through all sorts of rules including how to flush the toilet properly. There are rules posted all of the house and there is a list of rules in a notebook as you walk into the house that the wife asked me to read through and to please read to my family members. The rules included “no peeing in their pool”. My stomach was sick all the way through the two and a half days that we stayed there. I was working in their kitchen early Sunday morning and I see out of the corner of my eye the husband in the back fenced in back yard checking on his pool which not one of us used. To say the least along with the rest of my family very uncomfortable staying at this house. My family and I are all in our 50’s and 60’s and my one niece who is 16 were really looking forward to spending family time together since we are spread out distance wise and we are all trying to help out and care for our mom who is in a nursing home dealing with Alzheimer’s. This get away was suppose to be a great family gathering including seeing my son, daughter in-law and grandson who live in Florida. My suggestion is to stay away from renting from this couple.

Ed and Michele’s Bradenton river house was the perfect place for our family vacation. It is a beautifully restored old home with all the cozy comforts you could want or need. The pool was the perfect place to cool off after a hot day on the beach. Ed and Michele have thought of just about everything to make sure your time in their home is enjoyable. They are warm and friendly hosts and I definitely recommend their home.
