Siesta Key Xmas Vacation

My family has never been to Siesta Key and we’re pleased beyond expectations with both the area and our hosts! The bungalow was perfect for our family of 3 + dog. Our hosts were awesome extremely helpful and friendly. They checked up on us to make sure we had everything we needed. While the beaches weren’t dog friendly (which we knew) the rest of the island was very welcoming. We even found a nightly dog get together in our neighborhood that was a perfect way to tire out the pup and get to know the neighbors. Definitely on our “must return” list. Thank you Rich and Ali for a wonderful Christmas holiday.

Outstanding stay on Siesta Key!!

January, February and March 2018 is my third annual visit at Tropical Hideaway. After owning a seasonal home on Siesta Key for 18 years I sold it 4 years ago to "simplify my life" and eliminate concerns when away for 8+ months. Tropical Hideaway has been a wonderful and easy transition. Rich and Ali have been outstanding landlords/hosts and the house is very comfortable, clean, well appointed and a joy to live in. Located close to the beach and the village is ideal. I recommend their properties without hesitation.

Wonderful place!

My wife and I spent three months in TROPICAL HIDEAWAY COTTAGE and enjoyed everything about the house and the location. The yard is fenced so our little dog had a wonderful and safe visit also. Rich and Ali Light had remodeled the kitchen and baths just before we arrived and everything was clean, fresh and comfortable. The house is surrounded by lush vegetation, gravel paths and there is even a small waterfall/pond. This is a comfortable, secluded location and only a short walk to the Siesta Key Beach. Siesta Key village is nearby with nightlife, restaurants, grocery, hardware, drug stores and a bank. All the wonderful attractions of Sarasota are 10 - 15 minutes away. We loved our visit and are signed for next winter. Great house, great location and wonderful landlords. Happy restful vacation!

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.

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.
