This vacation home and ranch is a hidden gem, tucked away in the country but still close to the local restaurants, businesses, and events of Sarasota. The atmosphere is quiet, peaceful, and serene, perfect for those looking to relax and unwind. The property has a lot to offer, including a pool, pond, and beautiful scenery, making it a great place for families and pets. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the communication before and during the stay is excellent. The house is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of amenities to make your stay comfortable. While there have been some issues in the past with the hostess asking for a lot of information before arrival, the current reviews suggest that this has been addressed. However, it's worth noting that the ranch can accommodate a large number of guests, and some reviewers have mentioned that the property can feel a bit "gated" or exclusive, which may not be suitable for everyone. Overall, this is a great option for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing vacation experience.
