Modern Coastal Pool Retreat • Private Heated Pool • Minutes to Siesta Key Beach

Welcome to Blue Heron Ranch, a beautifully designed 3-bedroom pool home in South Sarasota with a resort-style backyard just minutes from Siesta Key Beach, Downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and world-class golf courses.

Why guests love Blue Heron Ranch
• Heated saltwater pool
• Resort-style backyard with pergola dining & lounge areas
• 10–15 minutes to Siesta Key Beach
• Stylish modern coastal interior
• Spacious open floor plan
• Private and quiet neighborhood
• Beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler & beach cart included

Designed in a relaxed Coastal Contemporary style, the home is bright, airy, and filled with natural light. The open floor plan allows the living, dining, and kitchen areas to flow effortlessly together, perfect for gathering with family. The dining table seats eight and faces a modern kitchen with brand-new stainless-steel appliances and a large waterfall island with additional seating.

The fully equipped kitchen includes designer flatware, cookware, glassware, and every appliance you might need—whether you’re preparing a quick breakfast before heading to the beach or enjoying a relaxed dinner at home.

The comfortable living room invites everyone to unwind together, with plush seating, a cozy fireplace, and a large 4K television with premium cable channels.

Every room in the house opens to the beautiful stone-paved outdoor living area, where the home truly shines.

The backyard is designed like your own private resort. A covered porch with rocking chairs and a ceiling fan overlooks the large heated saltwater pool. Under the pergola, an outdoor dining table for eight sits beside a brand-new six-burner gas grill—perfect for evenings spent grilling and dining outdoors.

Around the pool you’ll find an outdoor lounge area with designer furniture shaded by an oversized cantilever umbrella, along with chaise lounges and additional market umbrellas for sunbathing or relaxing with a book. The expansive yard beyond is shaded by mature trees, creating a peaceful and private retreat.

The split floor plan places the primary bedroom on one side of the home for maximum privacy. It features a king-size bed with high-end mattress and linens, a large TV, walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom with double vanity and frameless glass shower. Sliding doors open directly onto a private patio connected to the pool area.

The second bedroom also features a king-size bed, walk-in closet, sitting area, and direct access to the pool, making it feel like a second primary suite.

The third bedroom offers two twin beds, ideal for children or additional guests, along with a walk-in closet and sitting area. These bedrooms share a well-appointed bathroom.

A laundry room with a brand-new Samsung washer and dryer leads to the two-car garage, where you’ll find everything you need for beach days, including beach chairs, umbrellas, a rolling cooler, toys, inflatables, and a beach cart to easily transport it all.

Blue Heron Ranch is designed for relaxing, gathering, and enjoying the best of Sarasota, whether you're spending the day at Siesta Key Beach or simply enjoying your own private poolside retreat.

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!

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.

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.

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!

What a Terrific Stay!

We stayed at this property for almost 4 weeks and had a terrific experience! The beds were extremely comfortable, and the home overall just had a chill vacation feel. The backyard was beautiful! We spent a majority of our time in the heated pool and running around with our kids in the back yard. The Legacy Trail right behind the house should definitely be mentioned! A freshly paved trail that was perfect to take our 2 kids on walks. Centrally located to plenty of places to eat and only 20-25 minutes to Siesta Key beach. Any issues that arose were taken care of promptly by the property manager. He was quick to respond to anything we needed, which I consider very important. Memories were made at this home! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Love the blue heron!

We loved our stay at the blue heron! I am super picky and was pleased with the cleanliness and layout and the house is truly as beautiful as the pictures. All the spaces were so thoughtfully designed. Kitchen was easy to use and we loved all the doors leading out to the pool. Adam, the property manager was easy to communicate with and prompt in getting us anything we needed. The only thing different from the pictures is there are only 2 lounge chairs by the pool, instead of the 4 we were expecting. Still plenty of hang out space outside. Our only complaint is the neighbor’s tree that hangs over the pergola and outdoor couches was literally dropping junk all day long. I would clear them off to use and 5 minutes later they were covered again. Nothing you can do, but we didn’t use those spaces a ton because of that. I cooked a lot and a couple medium size serving/mixing bowls and more silverware would be helpful. We would have loved to stay longer, would definitely go back and highly recommend!

This home sets the standard

I don't write reviews for the places that we stay, because we stay at so many. Yet, I am compelled to write about this rental. My wife and I sold our home in November and set out with our children. We have no end date and are staying a month at a time in different locations around the US. (Road school!) Blue Heron Ranch is one of the best places that we have stayed in our eight years of using rental properties. The house has been completely redone tastefully. It provides a fresh, light and very comfortable home with all amenities needed. Then, there is the pool and back yard. It is a wonderful resort all its own. The location is convenient to all needs and is a 20 minute or less drive to the beaches. Skip the congestion on the islands and go there when you wish. Then, return to this wonderful oasis in a quiet neighborhood. A coming plus is that the nearby extension of the Legacy Trail is being completed soon, with access just two minutes away. This will give the opportunity for miles of walking, running and cycling. Did I say 10 out of 10? I am even not a friend or relative of the owner! If they continue to keep the home fresh and maintained as it is now it will be a great destination for all far into the future. Wish we could hitch the property to the back of our car and take it with us. Well done! David

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.
