Siesta Bungalows

My wife, two puppies and myself rented the Blue Lagoon bungalow from Rich and Ali of Siesta Bungalows for 6 months while relocating. From the moment of first contact, through to vacating we had the most wonderful experience.

This absolutely fully furnished property is a true gem. Minutes walk or cycle to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and the vibrant village of Siesta Key.

Palm Island, where the property is found, is like stepping back in time. A wonderful friendly and beautiful neighborhood.

The property is exceptionally decorated, immaculately clean and well furnished. We needed only turn up with our clothes, everything else was catered for.

I cannot recommend Siesta Bungalows enough and will happily direct any visiting family or friends their way.

Rich and Ali are two of the most warm & friendly people we have met. Unbelievably welcoming and accommodating, who we now regard as close friends.

From Palm Island, after vacating, we relocated just down the road, they welcomed us into the community, introduced us to their lovely friends and also us to their wealth of local contacts to assist in the updating of our new home.

To reiterate, if you are looking for a hassle free, wonderfully maintained and beautiful property to rent in the Sarasota area, I implore you to look no further than Siesta Bungalows.

I assure you, you will have a superb experience with these down to earth, honest and generally delightful people.

Doesn’t get much better than this! Rich and Ali are great people and hosts to say the least. Unbelievable hospitality/service along with a fantastic location. Just a few minutes walk away from beach access 10 and very close to the restaurants and shops in the village. Cottage is great. We loved the outdoor shower and the beautiful tropical landscaping while sitting on the lanai. We genuinely love and miss this place and would absolutely love to stay in one of Rich & Ali’s cottages again if we’re lucky enough. Highly recommend!

This is a sweet bungalow about 3 blocks from the beach! It had everything I needed and Rich and Ali were gracious hosts!

I've been coming to stay at Siesta Bungalows for more than 10 years now so I obviously like it. More like love it. It's the highlight of every year. The bungalows are cozy and conveniently located about a five minute walk to the beach. The greater Sarasota area is loaded with fun things to do besides the beach: live theater events, independent film theaters, Botanical gardens, lots of affordable golf courses, dedicated bike trails, great shopping, open market places, the list goes on. Best of all is after a busy fun day, you get to come home to your bungalow nestled in a nice quiet neighborhood off the beaten path and just relax.

Choose this home for its fantastic location, hosts and amenities - easy walk to the beach or downtown Siesta Key, but feels miles away from the crowds in its tropical setting. The home was perfect for the two of us and occasional guests; we appreciated the fenced yard for our dog, and the lanai lent itself to morning coffee in the hot tub and relaxed evening meals. We traveled into Sarasota often and the short commute was seamless; we had the best of both here...downtown amenities and easy beach access.
Wonderful hosts and setting - thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
