Perfect in every way

This could not have been a more perfect everything. No matter the age or interests, it was absolutely amazing!! It’s in the middle of Sarasota and an older neighborhood, but it feels very secluded and private. Would recommend 100%!

Beautiful appointed Creek front property

This property is a gem, there are plenty of space for family and bathrooms. Kitchen is well equipped with all you need. Downstairs pool table and foosball were a hit with my boys. Outdoor space is absolutely perfect for older kids and we even saw manatees one morning

Wonderful waterfront home!

Traveled to Sarasota with my sister and our young adult children to see our elderly parents. This home was such a treat and had everything you could need for a comfortable stay. We loved being on Philippi Creek with use of kayaks and sitting out by the water. Growing up in Sarasota this home was a gem and brought back memories being close to my high school. Would definitely stay here again and wish we owned this awesome home! Thanks to Liceth for sharing such a treasure and keeping the original retro home design in tact.

Paradise

We LOVED staying at Riverview Estates property ID 1642531. It is a beautiful house with everything you need and more. The property is also beautiful and quiet and peaceful. If you stay here you will not want to leave. The host Liceth is the sweetest person. I even locked us out and she was so nice about getting us back in. The house and the property are maintained beautifully. This place is paradise. Thank you so much Liceth !!! you were great and we had the best vacation

Cool digs in South Sarasota

This place is so cool. Loved the architecture, layout of the space, and vibe of the decor. This trip was a golf foursome, so we didn’t spend a ton of time at the house during the day. It was perfect for evenings with plenty of space and comfortable seating. Kitchen was great to hang around and tell stories from the day. Everyone had their own bedroom which was nice. House is everything we needed for the visit. Highly recommended!

Perfect place for our family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Twitchell House! The house is well worn but clean and well maintained. It comfortably slept four adults and three teens and there was plenty of room for lounging. The teens really enjoyed pool, darts, and foosball in the game room downstairs (the pool table has seen better days but we still had fun with it). The property backs on to Philippi Creek which makes for a lovely setting - we enjoyed watching the great blue herons and fish jumping while sipping bevies under the Florida sun and palm trees on the patio. The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away but only a 3-5 minute drive to the grocery store and other amenities. Siesta Key and all Sarasota beaches are 15-20 away (but go early because parking and traffic get worse as the day goes on). We also made day trips to St. Pete’s, Tampa, & St. Armand’s to the North and Nokomis/Venice to the South. Liceth is a kind and responsive host and I would go back in a heartbeat.

Ideal house for family getaway

A wedding brought us to Sarasota and this house was the perfect landing pad for extended family. Two couples, a teen, and a grandmother had plenty of space in the well-appointed bedrooms and found the kitchen and living space to be flexible and comfortable. The lower level game room and outdoor space was a hit. We fished, kayaked, saw manatee and gators, and hosted a nail-biting family pool tournament. Lots of memories were made thanks to this rental!

Great House

We visited Sarasota over labor day weekend. It was 3 couples in the house. There was plenty of space for us and we were all very comfortable. The house looks exactly like the pictures. There's so much natural light, which I love. I don't think the pictures featured the bedrooms much. There's one master, two other rooms, and then a smaller room that's really not a bedroom but does have a sofa in it. So I'd say it's really a 3 bedroom house with an entertainment room that could double as a 4th room in a pinch. The kitchen is well stocked with the utensils that you would need for cooking. There's a big creek right behind the house and Kayaks on the property that we used over the weekend. So much fun! The host is super available through the app and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay in Sarasota.
