Nice little Bungalow

This is a nice place for a single traveler! It's in a safe and comfortable location within walking distance to the beach. Rich and Ali are the perfect hosts.

Pleasant

I am always concerned about seeing bugs in Fla but not to worry........No palmettos!!!! The bungalow has a double bed that I realized after I made the reservation but it worked out fine for my husband and I. However, not necessarily good for everyone. You can walk to the beach but it's a little too far to walk to the village so we rode bikes instead.

From an island to an island

We had a lovely 3 week holiday in Ali and Rich's island retreat in Siesta Key in March. Beautiful peaceful neighborhood which was lovely to walk back to late in the evening. The bungalow was very comfortable and private. Leave the blinds and windows open to enjoy the light and the bird song in early morning through the full width windows. We also enjoyed the sun from 2 pm on the patio and so peaceful a space to experience! For us, in our seventies, a 20 minute walk to the village (for younger others possibly 10) but we discovered the free trolley 'Siesta Breeze' on Beach Road, just walk here, about 5 minutes, through 'Calle Invierno' and then a stress free evening out either north to the village or south past Stickney Point Bridge to Siesta Keys best fine dining restaurant 'Miguels'. The 'Lobster Pot' in the village is also the very best for fresh seafood. The bungalow, though small, is very well designed and equipped, from the timed extract in the bathroom, to bug screens on all windows, ceiling fan and air conditioning and an external utility with a second, how very useful, fridge and freezer. Though a number of items need updating the bungalow and the location is perfect for a couple. who enjoy evenings in and evenings out. The neighborhood is very safe and the private and easy parking is a bonus. We would highly recommend the Garden Terrace for a stay in Siesta Key. John and Patricia From the island of Ireland

Garden Terrace Studio Cottage - Walk To Best Beach

My husband and I spent a glorious nine days in the Garden Terrace. As promised, Rich greeted us upon arrival and showed us around. He is as attentive as you want him to be. If you need something or have a question he is right on top of it. If you want to be left alone he will respect your privacy. The studio was clean and well equipped. It actually came with more amenities than we were expecting. There were bikes, beach chairs, a gas grill. Rich happily lent us his canoe for a delightful paddle in the canals. Garden Terrace is very private and quiet. I used the outside shower every day and it was refreshing. The ten minute walk to the beach was mellow, as was the beach. No crowds at this end. We walked to town almost every night for dinner, sometimes by beach for the sunset... ah... Rich quickly returned our security deposit. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Ali and Rich Light

We are Ali, Rich and Chloe Jane Light. We moved to Siesta Key in 1997 and have never looked back. We absolutely love living here and sharing our paradise with our guests. We have been renting our six cosy bungalows since 1998. Ali is an artist and has drawn inspiration for colors and design of our bungalows from our travels to Hawaii, Ireland, and the British Virgin Islands. Rich was a custom design home builder and landlord for many years in the Philadelphia region, so together we have found the perfect match for having beach rentals.

Why they chose this property

When we moved to Siesta Key in 1997 we knew that we wanted to be able to share this gorgeous area with others and having rentals seemed to be the perfect way.We started buying and restoring our Bungalows in 2002. Our first was our Listing VRBO #10056

What makes this property unique

The unique benefit of staying at our properties are the ability to walk right to the beach and village, or we provide bicycles so you can explore the island. We are always available and live just a few doors away from most of our places. We are always excited to share our favorite places and restaurants so even our single guests feel like they have family here. Pets are welcome with a refundable pet deposit.
