We could not have imagined a more perfect place to stay and get married. From the very beginning, Liceth, the wonderful host, was accommodating, responsive, and genuinely invested in making the house and yard wedding-ready. We spoke on the phone numerous times and every detail was handled with care, which made me feel so much better planning from out-of-state.The home itself exceeded our expectations in every way. It is even more beautiful than the photos, thoughtfully designed, impeccably maintained, and spacious enough to comfortably host our celebration. Staying on the creek is a truly magical experience. It was serene waking up to experience the sunrise flood through the floor to ceiling windows, reflect off the water and be able to watch the wildlife wakeup with you. It was the perfect setting and felt very private for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and outdoor dinner. Afterwards, the living room was ideal for our dance party, with space to dance and plenty of comfortable furniture to relax.The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen has everything you need and as a bonus there's a downstairs sink as well. Our catering company utilized both spaces.Thank you Liceth for sharing such a special property with us. We cannot recommend it enough for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway or an unforgettable event venue. We cannot wait to return one day to relive our special memories.
I (the bride) did my hair & makeup at the dining room table and got dressed in this room at the end of the hallway. The groom hung out downstairs in the game room
The photos inside and around the house turned out amazing. Our photographer and videographer loved it
We got married in front of the beautiful oak tree. The sidewalk is a perfect "aisle". We were able to fit 20 people in chairs on the concrete pad comfortably. Dinner and cocktail hour were right next to the ceremony site
Here's what our florist did on the oak tree – LilyBella Floral Design

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.
