Beyond expectations

I am a bird watcher seeking quiet out of the way places that remain in their natural condition. This property offers a heavenly piece of the real Florida, full of life, with birds, an alligator, an otter. I spent much of my time wandering around the property and just relaxing outside. The residence is comfortable, with updated finishes and appliances. Chantal is a pleasant, caring owner and receptive to any suggestions you might have. And, there are stores and restaurants five and ten minutes away. It is a half hour drive to the Selby Botanical Garden and downtown Sarasota. All in all, I would enjoy staying again at Wild Orchid Creek.

This is a lovely little house on a beautiful property. My son's and I were in town for a regatta and Wild Orchid Creek is close enough to everything we could need, not too far from all the shops and restaurant's and offered us a quiet, peaceful and relaxing escape from all the activity in Sarasota. The property has a true old Florida feel. The house is small but spacious at the same time. Its very comfortable and nicely finished! We would love to stay here again, hopefully with more time to explore the acreage next time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wild Orchid Creek. It was very private and peaceful. Out away from the hustle and bustle but not to far from activities. The owners were great people. Very friendly, welcoming and quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Zen Country Escape

This is a beautiful vacation rental. The house is beautiful as well as the property. Lovely location in the country but near the city. Nice restaurants nearby. We had reservations for Myyaka Elephant Ranch which I highly recommend! We visited Anna Maria Island beach and Clearwater to meet friends. Chantal is an excellent hosted providing little extras like wine, snacks, coffee and spices for cooking in a fully equipt kitchen. I will definitely return!

Beautiful property and super comfortable

We really enjoyed our stay in this gorgeous little place. So much charm and super clean and quiet. Only thing I’d suggest is make sure to bring your bug spray to fight off the mosquitoes and keep in mind that the neighbors up the road have dogs that wander around the neighborhood so you may wake up to some roaming visitors on four legs :) Thanks Chantal!

Charming and Fresh

Blown away by the charm of this place. Very clean and fresh looking with decor out of a magazine. Well equipped. Easy to find. Tucked away in a quiet wooded area yet at most a 30 minute drive to the places we were going to in Bradenton an Sarasota.

Such a cute little place!

Very clean and super cute place. I wish I could live in this little cottage. The AC was fantastic. The property was beautiful. And probably one of the easiest check ins/outs I’ve ever experienced. I never had to physically meet the host but she kept communication and made it clear not to hesitate if we were to need anything during our stay. Thank you Chantelle!

The Cabin is Absolutely Lovely, but Vrbo is Horrible and Despicable

The place is breathtaking, an oasis nicely tucked away. It was worth the 11 hour drive to Sarasota. This was the second property I reserved on Vrbo. I found it to be more affordable and lovely. I canceled the first reservation within 5 minutes of making it, but I have received only lies from Vrbo staff regarding my refund. Consequently, I have filed a complaint with the FL Attorney General's office and my credit card company. I will never ever again rent a property through Vrbo.

Perfect getaway!

We had a great stay at Wild Orchid Creek. It was the perfect distance from all the fun in the area yet far enough out that we had the peace and quiet we often don’t have near the city. The cottage was so beautifully decorated and more than safe and accommodating for our small kiddos. I would one hundred percent recommend this lovely spot to stay if you are in the area. We would absolutely visit again. Thank you for having us!
