You can go from the water to lunch or dinner and back to the sand without putting on your shoes.

Your patio is 100% private fenced in and surrounded by tropical plants with gas grill and dining table. It's perfect for enjoying a quiet cup of coffee, good book, cocktail(s), or an al-fresco meal. It's a 4-minute walk off the patio to the Siesta Key Village and the best fresh oysters, seafood, tropical drinks, ice cream, entertainment, and even gourmet donuts on the island. It's just a 2-minute walk to the sand path for the best beach on the island.

Wonderful location with easy walk to the Village and beach. Clean and welcoming. We loved the private courtyard and appreciated having the beach chairs, wagon and beach towels provided. Clear and prompt communication from the host. If you are a small party and can work with only one bathroom (with laundry in the bathroom) this is the perfect place for you!

Siesta Zen at its finest
Our stay was absolutely spectacular. Gertrude Vacation Rentals went above and beyond with fantastic communication and made everything effortless. The unit itself was perfect with two bedrooms one bath big bright windows and a charming courtyard with grill and tea lights that made evenings unforgettable. The location could not be better just a five minute walk to the Gulf and only a few minutes to Siesta Village. Truly a spectacular property and highly recommend.
It is a gorgeous little oasis with excellent amenities and beautiful locations - I could not ask for more!

Cozy place with a nice outdoor eating spot surrounded with greenery. Very close to village and beach. The people at Gertrude are great to deal with!
The location was perfect, and easy walk to the beach and 10 minutes to all the restaurants, we didn’t miss having a car. Dan was prompt at responding to all questions and the cottage was cute and comfortable for our family. I would stay there again!
