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.
