Cozy and Relaxing

Ranger Rick provided a warm and inviting home in a great neighborhood. We were greeted with a basket full of goodies, plenty of linens and pool / beach toys! We spent a good part of our time relaxing by the pool, and it's very quiet there!

Beautiful home with everything you need

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was perfect for our family of four, although there was room for more. The house was impeccably clean and well-organized with everything you'd need to cook, grill, swim, and go to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and well cared for, and even great for running with very little traffic.

Fantastic Stay

This was our second summer to stay in Rick's home. He and his team continue to keep the house incredibly clean and the pool/pool area are well maintained. He provided a basket of snacks and put bottles of cold water in the garage refrigerator for us. Palm Aire continues to be a very quiet and peaceful development that is very biking/walking/running friendly and very close to lots of restaurants and grocery stores. We rented bikes and rode them through Palm Aire every morning. We will stay with Rick again when we visit Sarasota.
