The water here is shallow clear and calm with white quartz-sand tide-pools perfect for sleeping drinking or playing.

Set on the Southern edge of Siesta Village. Just 1-minute walk to top beaches, and 3-minute golf cart or trolly ride (15-minute walk) to restaurants and the best fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts on the island.

Property Truths
The pool at this location is shared with just three other units. Your unit is unit A, the pool is located behind units C and D, and this is only 20 steps from your building. While shared pools are "the norm" in Siesta Key, especially this close to the beach, people used to less popular beach destinations could be caught by surprise. Our properties in Vermont and New Jersey commonly have private pools, but don't go there if you can go to Siesta Key.

We provide bedding, kitchen items, most major and minor appliances, blow dryers, and hangers. Simple soaps and paper products come in starter-supply that will get you through a short stay and anything you need can be purchased nearby.

What to Bring
It s a laid-back island so pack as lite as you like. Our fashion is casual, wash and wear, and all units have laundries. Also, anything you forget to bring can be found nearby in good supply and fair prices.

We understand vacation time is precious and will make sure you get the most out of it. Our number is the only contact information you need. All units are at the top attractions on the island.

Fun, fun, fun

First time to stay so close to the beach. Everyone said it was so nice to be able to come and go all day. The wagon and chairs were well used. Elevator came in handy in loading and unloading the car, otherwise, we used the stairs. Loved being able to see the beach from the balcony with my cup of coffee. Any questions we had were quickly answered during our stay :)

Gem in Siesta Keys

Had a great stay at Gertrude rentals. Literally one block from the beach! Walk to town. Lots to do. Could not be happier. The house was immaculate and plenty of space for all of us. Thank you for making our stay wonderful.

Fantastic House and Location

This house was just as described—clean, modern, and very close to the beach. We had two teenagers with us, and the short, safe walk to the beach was a big plus. Located directly across from beach access #11, we had no trouble finding a great spot on the sand—it never felt crowded. We had a blast exploring the neighborhood on the provided bikes, and loved the location—far enough from the main strip to feel separate, but close enough for a brisk walk. Although we didn't cook, the kitchen appeared well-stocked. There were plenty of beach chairs, towels, and even a wagon, which made getting everything to the beach super easy. The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful, with excellent communication before, during, and after our stay. We would definitely stay at another Gertrude property in the future.

Perfect beach get away

The description of the property was perfect. Once you park, no need to use your car again. Plenty of beach gear to use, free trolly system, and it really was about 150 steps to the beach. We had a perfect time.

Family Vacation

We booked this location so that we would be close to the beach. 150 steps gets you to the edge leading to the beach. We had someone with us that had difficulty walking so it was not as close as we had hoped. The beach and location is beautiful though, so if you can walk the extra steps will worth the walk. The beach did have a beach wheelchair available so we utilized that. The condo had a lot of beach chairs and toys available.

Siesta Key Long Weekend

We rented Gertrude 3BR home for 5 nights. I have to say, the house rental was completely spectacular. Very clean and well appointed with amenities. The best part was all the beach gear and wagons to be able to set up at the short walk to the beach. The shared pool with the home next door was great also. I would highly recommend Gertrude rentals and highly recommend Siesta Key as a destination.

Great location

My family agrees this was the best vacation rentals we stayed in. We had everything we needed for our stay at the house. Everything we needed for the beach. Such a short walk to the beach. It was great to have the elevator for my parents who are elderly and it was nice to use when taking loads of stuff up and down the stairs.
