The host was attentive and easy to communicate with. The property was comfortable, spacious, and conveniently located. Dan was awesome and accommodated our needs for a few days that we were in Sarasota for a tournament. We left something behind and he promptly found it and mailed it back to us. It was a 10/10 experience and we would stay again in the future!

Perfect beach getaway for the whole family!

We took our 2 kids and dog to Siesta key with us, and had the best time! My kids were so excited about the bunk beds and game room! The location was perfect with the beach access literally across the street! We loved we could bring our dog on the trip with us as well. There's was something for everyone with Gertrude rentals. Daniel was an amazing host, and even let us check in early on our first day. We can't wait to visit again!

Our trip to Siesta Key was absolutely magical. We had the greatest location right at the corner where the trolley stopped. The beach was steps away and could be accessed so easily. The property was clean, well- appointed, and had all of the necessary beach equipment we could ever need. We used the umbrellas, beach chairs, wagons for transport, and cooler. The cruiser bikes were also such a nice surprise. We will absolutely stay here again when we come back. Highly recommend!

Great location & Dan is great to work with.

The apartment is in a great location for everything. Plenty of room for everyone & beach is right across the street. We had a great time, played some table tennis, beach, short walk to town where it's hopping. Dan the owner is great to work with & I will be renting from them again for sure next year.

Amazing place to stay!

The condo was absolutely beautiful, with plenty of room for everyone. The doors that open completely at the front is a wonderful way to let the ocean breeze in! It was such a short walk to the beach, having the chairs, umbrellas, and wagons to use was a wonderful added touch! It was also a great location to be able to walk to restaurants and shops. Definitely would stay here again!

Perfect vacation

The beach house had everything we wanted, it was stalked with everything you would need to go to the beach. The house is right across from the beach access and the trolly stop is right in front of the house as well, so it was a breeze to get to siesta village or turtle beach. The house was clean and fully stocked
