Gainey Ranch:
Gainey Ranch once was a working ranch. In the 1980' and 90's it was developed as a luxury location with many styles of condos, townhomes and houses built around lakes, golf courses and the Hilton Resort. The Hilton still anchors the residential areas with restaurants, brunches, jazz happy hours and gorgeous palm trees and floral beds.

Guest Book:
This was a delightful indulgence for winter of 2008! Very well located, easy to find everything I needed. We felt right at home from the minute we stepped into the big living room filled with sunshine! Had the balcony blinds and door open nearly everyday and just enjoyed our stay so much! Hope to do it again in 2010 (this year my daughter and son-in-law are expecting twins!)
