Blue Heron Ranch - Coastal, Modern, Private w/ Resort Style Pool

Welcome to Blue Heron Ranch, a stunning, stylishly decorated 3-bedroom heated pool home with a resort-style backyard located in South Sarasota, a stone's throw from Siesta Key, Downtown, St. Armand's Circle, and world-class golf courses.

As you enter this spacious house you will instantly feel at home with the warmth of its abundant natural light and its meticulous Coastal Contemporary style. Its open concept allows all the rooms to seamlessly flow into one another. A formal dining space with seating for 8 faces a modern kitchen with all brand new stainless steel appliances and a large waterfall island with additional counter seating. Fully stocked with designer flatware, silverware, glassware, cookware, and every conceivable appliance this kitchen will make you want to stay home for dinner.

Walking over into the living room you will find a comfortable couch and armchairs with ottomans chuck full of throw pillows for ultimate comfort. With a fully functional fireplace on one side and a large screen 4k television tricked out with all the premium cable channels on the other, this will be the perfect spot for the whole family to enjoy together.

Every room in the house opens to the gorgeous stone-paved outdoor living area. A covered back porch with a loveseat, rocking chairs, and ceiling fan sits in plain view of the large saltwater system heated pool. To your left, you will find an outdoor dining area (for 8) sitting under a pergola and a brand new top rated 6 burner gas grill. As you make your way around the pool you will find an outdoor living room with designer furniture shaded by an 11' cantilever umbrella. For your lounging needs, there are three chaise lounges with two 8' market umbrellas. Beyond that is an expansive yard with its green lawn shaded by centuries-old trees. This legit outdoor living is a vacation in and of itself. Your own private resort!

A split floor plan places the master bedroom at one end of the house, providing it with maximum privacy. It boasts a king-size bed with a high-end mattress, fine linens, and another large screen tv neatly tucked into its own cabinet. The en suite bathroom with double vanity and frameless glass shower enclosure evokes a modern spa feel. Just outside an oversized walk-in closet is a sitting area with a full-length mirror. Across the room two sliding doors open to a private patio that connects to the pool area.

In the second bedroom, you can also enjoy a king-size bed. A walk-in closet, sitting area, full-length mirror, and direct access to the pool makes this bedroom feel like another master.

The third bedroom has two twin beds, perfect for kids or single family members. It too includes a walk-in closet and sitting area. A bathroom is shared by these two rooms.

A laundry room with brand new Samsung washer & dryer leads to the two-car garage. There you will find a set of 6 beach chairs, 2 umbrellas, a large rolling cooler, toys, inflatables and a beach cart with which to conveniently transport all your gear on beach days.

We enjoyed ourselves during the week of Christmas. What a great location, short distance to Siesta key and easy to see family in Sarasota/ Bradenton! The house had absolutely everything we needed, just like home. We relaxed so well and slept very very well in the comfortable beds. What a fabulous property - we will be back! Thank you for the perfect accommodations!!!!!

This rental is the perfect stay and getaway. The hosts have thought of every essential and need to have while you enjoy your stay. From the amazing outdoor space to the beautiful inside layout as well as decor. There wasn’t one extra thing we had to pick up or stock because they have it all covered. Truly a great experience and will continue to rent when in town.

Fun friends' week

We enjoyed a week at BHR getting some sun and visiting local friends! The house was cute and immaculate, the yard/pool area were beautiful, and the kitchen/BBQ were great and well equipped. It was a wonderful home, well/centrally located, in an older, less cookie-cutter SRQ neighborhood. Communication with property owners was smooth, and we had great fun. Would stay there again if we're in Sarasota. My only (very) minor quibble is that the pool temp was pretty warm for July heat, but even that was improved by one afternoon of Florida summer rains. Otherwise it was terrific!

I can’t say enough positive things about this house or our experience. The house was so comfortable, so much attention to detail, so well stocked. Beds were really comfortable. Master suite has huge TV, beautifully decorated, great bathroom and on opposite side of the house as the other rooms. Backyard and pool were like a spa experience. Host and property manager are super responsive. We come to Sarasota 3-4 times a year, this is one of the better homes we’ve stayed at. Great location too!

My daughter was in the US Rowing National finals. We required, excellent sleep, a close proximity to the venue, the ability to make clean food, and relax in peace and quiet in the down times. The beds, linens, black-out curtains, absolute cleanliness, saltwater pool, a bathtub for mineral soaks, and peaceful location were all perfect. We hope to be back next year. Thank you for making everything so amazing for our stay.

Every detail of this house inside and out is beautiful! The backyard feels like you are staying at a boutique resort that you get all to yourself. Great location to beaches and all that Sarasota and the surrounding areas have to offer. There is also a bike/walking trail behind the house for early morning walks. Very clear communication with the owner and great welcome book full of great recs for your stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Resort Home Comfort

We rented the house for two months, January and February. On arrival (New Years Eve) we found a bottle of Cava on the counter with two champagne glasses. This was a wonderful welcoming touch. We have a lot of good things to say about Blue Heron Ranch and would highly recommend it to others. The site managers are very responsive – literally they are there in an instant if anything needs to be addressed. House is as advertised- well appointed, well supplied- especially the kitchen. If you love to cook they essentially have everything you are likely to use/need including a knife sharpener, microplane grater, etc. Great pans, nice dishes (Crate and Barrel) nice glassware, and wine glasses, and three corkscrews. The Wifi was fast enough and the TVs are both smart TVs. The beds are comfortable with nice sheets. In the garage there are chairs, umbrellas, and a cart for the beach. In addition, a lot of inflatables/floaters for the pool. The pool is heated and is cleaned once a week by the pool maintenance service. The backyard is a perfect place to relax with many wonderful seating areas and lounge chairs, and a large teak dining table. The grill was replaced while we were here and the new grill is a Cadillac. There are also separate utensils for the grill and outdoor glasses/plates/bowls (plastic) to avoid getting glass by the pool. The house is just next to the Legacy Trail- great for walking, running or biking (bring your own bikes and helmets). We were so pleased with the property, the management and the location that we made a booking for next year.

Sibling vacation trip

Unfortunately we lost our mother to Covid in August 2021 and we had not been able to bring her ashes to FL until June 2022. We found the perfect house for our family affair. The house had everything we needed and more. It really helped so we didn't have to bring so much stuff. The location is wonderful for whatever you are looking for. The recommendations in the book for restaurants was spot on (we are happy to say we agreed with their recommdations). The pool and lounging area outside was great for those sunny days and getting in some swim time. The walking trail down the street is nice so bring your tennis shoes if you want to get a quick walk in.

This was our first VRBO rental and it was lovely. The house and yard were just as pictured. Unfortunately the weather hit historic cold with days of rain so we never got in the pool.
