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

This Is a beautiful home and perfect for families or a fun vacation with adults. We had everything we needed, everything was very clean and the home was very spacious. The game room and huge yard with a peaceful waterfront was a huge bonus!! The owners were great with communication and quick to respond. I would absolutely stay here again!

Privacy Is hard to come by in Sarasota. This property has nice backyard to relax in with the river running through it. The game room kept our kids entertained as well.

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.

Everything from the amazing mid-century decor to the gorgeous outdoor space, amazing views from every single window . . . just perfect. Saw an iguana, many manatee and loved the squirrels and birds, didn’t use the game room much but was a definite bonus.

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!

Spring Stay
Very interesting house with a lot of open space and very comfortable outside sitting. Lots of wild life in the hedges and creek. The kitchen appliances are definitely high end with the game room an added bonus.

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.

Cool property with nice view
Liceth was super easy to get in contact and was very sweet. She left a gift basket for my family and I before we got there. It was very thoughtful! The property has a cool vibe to it mixing old school with new. The river in the back was awesome. We did some fishing and caught a few catfish. Overall a good deal for the price and would stay here again. Thank you Liceth for a wonderful time :)
