Manatee County : locations de vacances dans des gîtes à la ferme

A special place with a special host. I can’t say enough about how much staying here added to our trip to Sarasota. It felt like we were staying with family, a home away from home. Any time we return to the area we’ll be looking to book here again.

Had a great stay. Across the street from the beach. Nice and clean. Would book again.

This was our second time vacationing at Lauraine’s horse ranch. We have two little kids and we feel that this place is magical for all of us. Our morning walks around the grounds with coffee have become a beloved tradition. It was colder this week so not as much time in the beautiful pool sadly but we still pulled off a few dips. The treehouse was so comfortable and perfect for our needs as a family of 4. And we never grew tired of looking out the window at the horses, and visited them frequently. Both years we have been enchanted by the variety of birds we can see, the star being the owl that lives right next to the treehouse in the pasture, who we heard and saw several times. We are so glad we discovered this gem of a place!

We had a fun stay at this unique property. My wife and daughter enjoyed the friendly horses wandering around the yard. The house is large, nice, and with plenty of amenities. Each bedroom is big and the 2.5 bathrooms make it easy to manage multiple people. We loved eating on the lanai. We’d stay here again. My only caution is the T-Mobile phone service was weak and the wifi slow due to the location. It worked fine for casual travelers using it as a home-base for local travel but working online (which we didn’t do) might be difficult. The owner fully disclosed this when we first requested and it was fine for us. They were working on it when we left so might be better.

Very clean, let’s start there. The place was larger than we thought (a huge plus!). The 3 bathrooms meant no one waited, a huge plus with young kids. We really enjoyed the pool, it was just what we needed. Host is very friendly, highly responsive. WiFi is a little slow, and we didn’t realize we had Direct TV until the last night. Peaceful surroundings, very quiet. It’s Florida though, so bring bug spray. Would definitely stay again.

If you’re looking for a serene place to stay, this was definitely a great place. We had friendly visits from horses, plenty of birds and nature to watch, and a fully furnished kitchen. Hosts were very receptive. We used the pool and relaxed in and around it. The horse farm is very well kept and maintained. Very clean. We would venture there again.

We had a fantastic time staying here for our wedding weekend! Had plenty of room for us, our bridal party and friends. Having a place to share together in between events and after the wedding made our celebration extra special :)

House was spotlessly clean and well maintained. We were really only sleeping there so did not use pool or backyard amenities. Would highly recommend. Only suggestion would be to have coffee and coffee condiments available on check in. Most Air BNBs I have stayed at offer this amenity.

Bits of Paradise ranch is a beautiful secluded property with tons of space, ponds, horses and a barn- perfect if you have little kids. The home we rented had a pool that we could lounge in, on the days we weren't at the beach (or spent AM at the beach and then spent PM at home). Its a bit of drive from Seista Key beach (20 min) and Lido Beach (30 min) but we did not mind and were expecting/aware of this. We needed a home (3 kids) with space and a kitchen to cook some food etc. We would highly recommend this property.

Un excellent moment passé dans ce lieu magnifique Priscilla est une hôte formidable, en plus de son sens de l’accueil elle a pris le temps de nous montrer les nombreux animaux qui sont sur sa propriété. On aurait aimer y rester plus longtemps…

What more can I say that hasn't been said in all of the other five-star reviews? Triangle Ranch is amazing. It was just what we needed to escape from reality for a few days. The surroundings were so peaceful it felt like living in a Philip Juras painting. We loved everything about this spot from the mossy oaks and the river, to the cattle, owls, bunnies and gators. I would definitely recommend renting this house along with the prairie cabin so that you can have access to the cantina. If you can swing it, rent all three homes - the little siesta plus the two cabins and enjoy this little slice of heaven all to yourself. We will definitely be back!
