The PERFECT Siesta Key Getaway
Ali and Rich are tremendous hosts. They have an incredible collection of "Old Siesta Key. The jungle gardens, pure privacy, beach bikes, it's like going back in time. I'd book this again before some 5 star massive hotel. It all depends on what you are looking for. Thank you Ali and Rich, you truly just reflect the true feel of the Island.

Our stay at the Fernhaven cottage was simply wonderful in every respect.
This was a wonderful experience at Fern Haven cottage. It is cozy, clean, and very well equipped. The deck and backyard are a treasure both to the eyes and to the years. In the evening and morning all we could hear were wonderful bird sounds. The property is in a great location a few blocks from the center of Siesta Key. But you do not hear a single sound from the festivities in “downtown” Siesta Key. And In a few more blocks you are at a beautiful white sand beach that never seems to get crowded. One of the very special treats of this property is the access directly across the street to a beautiful Canal. There is a little dock there where we sat and enjoyed both the view and the peacefulness. Rich and Ali are splendid hosts; they just try to make you comfortable, satisfied in all respects, and respond almost immediately to any requests. Our month in Siesta Key at Fern Haven cottage was one of the most memorable of our lives and we will cherish these memories forever!

Personification of Comfort and Relaxation
Fern Haven personifies comfort and relaxation. It’s perfectly located along the canal in a quiet neighbor where you can enjoy your private dock and walk to both beautiful Siesta Key beach and the little lively village. This charming bungalow is impeccably clean and fully equipped with everything you’ll need for ‘home away from home’ comfort. It’s surrounded by an abundance of natural beauty made up of palm trees and ferns that makes it perfect for sitting outside to enjoy morning coffee, an evening cocktail or a delicious cook-out. Rich and Ali are lovely hosts who will go out of their way to make sure your stay is a pleasant and will always be available for you, if and when needed. Do yourself a favor and don’t miss the opportunity to stay in Fern Haven bungalow. You’ll certainly be happy that you did!

Great location and private.
Very nice and clean place close within walking/biking distance to Siesta Key village and the beach. I highly recommend the studio. Bert

About the host

Hosted by Ali and Rich Light

Host profile image
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 is 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. We welcome pets with a REFUNDABLE pet deposit.
