We relocated to Sarasota in June 2014 due to a job transfer. We found this Palmer Ranch house through VRBO. The listing had everything we were looking for. Honestly the listing does not say enough about how truly lovely and complete this rental is. You really don't have to bring anything except your personal items to be comfortable in this house. The house is truly stocked with everything you could possibly need including bikes, pool toys, board games, a stereo, and much more. Their is also an abundance of pots, pans, kitchen utensils, and dishes. The owners could not be nicer and truly care that your stay is a pleasant one. They are always available via phone or email and respond to any problems or questions promptly. The only issue we had was connecting to their WiFi. When we contacted the owners, they immediately had the internet provider call us and send out a technician. This house will make you feel right at home. We especially enjoyed the patio and pool where you can spend hours watching the turtles swim and sun themselves by the pond, or the various water birds flying and diving for food. Our daughter and 10 year old granddaughter visited for a few days and I have to say the 10 year old had as much fun swimming in the pool as going to Siesta Key Beach. The neighbors are friendly and the neighborhood is beautiful. If you are looking for a Florida vacation outside of the hotel/condo experience , this house with its many amenities and it's proximity to so many wonderful attractions, has it all! If we weren't living in Florida now, I guarantee we would be coming back here to vacation!
