    Beautiful home! Fantastic location! The home is decorated nicely, the pool was warm and inviting, the amenities were much appreciated. The upstairs room with bunk beds gets a little warm, but otherwise the house was perfect! Would highly recommend.

    Really great property. Perfect for our girls trip. Beautiful area with plenty of restaurants and shops you can walk or bicycle to. The house was very clean. The kitchen was really well stocked - even had some unusual kitchen tools. Lots of games and reading material. Great screened pool area and the water temp was perfect even with the hot days. The owner was quick to respond to any questions. Highly recommend this property.

    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.
