The Beach Skip the crowds and commercial feel. Coral Cabanas offers Key West-style charm and beach access #13—quieter, more private, and just across the street. With no public parking nearby, this cove is one of Siesta's most exclusive beaches. The white quartz sand, tide pools, and calm, clear water are perfect for relaxing. A livelier scene with food, drinks, and the weekend drum circle is just a short beach walk north. Point of Rocks reef is only 60 yards south.
The Location No car needed. Nestled on a quiet street with no traffic, businesses, or public parking. Walk 7 minutes to Siesta's top eco-adventures—boat, bike, jet-ski, and fishing tours. Prefer to relax? Sunbathe on the balcony, nap in a hammock, or enjoy Siesta's top-rated seafood, ice cream, and waterfront dining. Just a short stroll to favorites like Daiquiri Deck, Sniki-Tiki, Crescent Club, and Orange Octopus.
Reef Snorkeling Siesta Key is already paradise—now add one of the Gulf Coast's best snorkeling spots! Just 60 yards south, Point of Rocks offers safe, shallow waters filled with tide pools, colorful marine life, and shelling treasures. Most days you'll spot chameleons, sponges, mother-of-pearl shells, conch, and maybe even dolphins or turtles. Ideal for exploring by foot, snorkel, paddleboard, or kayak.

We had a wonderful time on Siesta Key! I loved how close we were to the beach. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping and they don't require you to clean before you leave which was super nice with an early flight. Parking is great too. Beds are comfy.
Location is good and a few steps away from the beach. We had a really nice time in this property. They were very nice and accommodating to our group. Thank you

Great!
We loved staying here during our trip to Siesta Key! The property is in a great neighborhood and was super clean and spacious. We want to come back with some friends because we could all stay at the same place but still have our own spaces. The beach path was just a few steps away and it was nice to have a parking space for our vehicle (even though we didn't use it:). We'll be back to stay here again!
Great location, love the access to point of rocks. We really enjoyed the use of the paddle boards and kayaks. The condo was very accommodating with beach chairs, beach towels, and umbrellas. That was a bonus not having to pack all of ours from home. We would stay here again if we’re ever back in Siesta Key.

Good
The neighbor unit "C" were the nosiest I have ever experienced they also used the grille and left without turning it off. The bed was too hard like sleeping on pavement.
The unit itself was nice and clean. The location was great. I would stay there again but only with a different bed
Dan was a great host. Very responsive and gave me good tips for local area. Nice to have free access to beach chairs, wagon, beach towels umbrellas, SUP and kayaks. Ive had to pay quite a bit for those items in the past when staying at beach hotels. And though we didn’t use it, there is a gas grill outside. Place is very close to beach, clean and as described - beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for myself and 3 teen kids. We rented bikes, which for us was sufficient mode of transportation. Was nice to be able to walk the beach at night to and from the restaurants. Would definitely come back.
We had such a nice stay here! Everything was tidy and clean. Location was the absolute best!! Nice, relaxing vibe from the entire unit. Booking was so easy and Gertrude Rentals communicates so well. We will definitely be booking this rental again on our next trip! 10/10 will recommend to everyone!

We have rented with Gertrude Rentals a few times. This is our first time renting D. We had 2 condos at one time to bring all our family and friends with us. The condo had everything we needed. We stayed a week and had a blast. All you need to bring is your bathing suit and company!

So close to the beach and the place was clean and adorable! I loved that the linens were supplied.
We had an amazing stay! The place was immaculate, and with linens supplied, we literally dropped our bags and went to the beach. Love the island, so many shops and restaurants! Truly wish we could stay forever.
