I was greeted by Rich with a smile and a handshake not too long after I arrived at the Blue Lagoon bungalow. Rich is a very nice guy and very accommodating. He is very informative about the area. He can easily tell you where all of the good places to go out to eat and to enjoy a good drink are on the island/village. The Blue Lagoon is in such an awesome location. A short walk to the village and an even shorter walk to the best beach in the U.S.. All of the appliances that I used worked flawlessly. The water pressure is excellent. Both toilets work great. All ceiling fans and receptacles work. Air conditioning kept the place cool all month long. Furniture is comfortable. I started to sleep in the one bedroom and it has a very plush memory foam mattress, however I prefer a more firm mattress so I started sleeping in the other bedroom which has a firm mattress. I forgot to mention that the place was very clean upon my arrival. The gas grill worked great and I definitely put it to good use. There is a nice back deck with built-in seating along with a small dock that has lounge chairs. I didn't use the deck or the dock but they were both very nice and well maintained. Lastly it was very nice and convenient to have a carport to park under. As we all know it gets blazing hot in Sarasota during the summertime and parking in a shady spot makes a world of difference. Overall my experience at Rich and Ali Light's Blue Lagoon bungalow was amazing. I highly recommend staying there!

Blue Lagoon was comfortable, nice lot, great screened porch, and was an easy walk to the beach and the village. House was full of information on what to do, where to go, and owner recommendations. Rich, Ali and Chloe (Girl Scout cookies) live nearby and are very helpful . Village is loaded with good Restaraunts. And February weather was perfect. Be sure to catch a sunset.

We have stayed in the same cottage for a few years now. We have always found the house clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and convenient to both beach and village. As dog owners, we particularly like the fact that the house is dog-friendly. While the furnishings are not "brand new" and some items show a bit of age and use, the house and furnishings are plenty adequate for a beach house stay on Siesta Key. Owners Rich and Ali are very welcoming and always helpful. All in all a very pleasant sojourn on Siesta Key and our rating for this rental is excellent. Angela C

My wife, I and our son's family of 4 just got back from a FANTASTIC stay in the Blue Lagoon, located a short walk to the most amazing beach and near the Siesta Key village which has ample restaurants, shops and great music, food and drinks. The house and grounds are private, spacious, very comfortable, authentic Florida and always impeccably clean. The large screened in front lanai and back deck by the lagoon are particularly favorite gathering points and places to enjoy the warm Florida climate. Rich and Ali the owners and their daughter Chloe are terrific. They expertly maintain and stock the property, including extras like bikes, lounge chairs and sand toys. They also gave us endless possibilities on what to see and do and where the best spots to eat are through out the region. This is our 3rd year in a row enjoying this slice of heaven and we have only sampled a small part of what is available. We HIGHLY recommend this property and owners.
