Best Location on Siesta Key

We had the best time at staying at Gertrude rentals. Couldn't have picked a better location in terms of proximity to the village and to the beach. Everything was clean when we arrived and the check out was simple, didn't have to remove sheets off the bed, everything was taken care of for us. Only reason I didn't give I 5 great review was because we had some issues with the WiFi and there were not enough sheets for one of us who was staying on the sofa bed, however, once Gertrude rentals was called they were speedy in taking care of our issues. Great communication! Would recommend highly!

Wonderful location, Beautiful house!

We loved walking to the beach every morning for coffee and sand dollar hunting! The house was clean, and perfect for our large family, to have a place close to town to walk to- loved meanie donuts every morning, loved having the bikes to take out for a ride. Would for sure stay again!

Bachelorette Amazing Stay

There were 11 girls for our friends bachelorette party! Plenty of space, location was key, beds were comfortable, and not having to worry about towels/linens/beach chairs with the bonus of the bikes /paddle boards was awesome! Daniel was very accommodating with early check in and responsive if we needed anything. Great stay!

Long Wknd

Had a great stay with our adult kids. Weather wasn’t great but you’re so close to all the shops and restaurants that there’s plenty to do other than the beach! House was great and we had everything we needed. Literally the only negative was when we went to use the bikes and two of the five were broken (there was five of us).

Great

The property was beautiful and equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The ocean and village is within a short walking distance so there is no need for a vehicle. Communications with the hosts were great responding within minutes to address all your questions and concerns. I recommend this property to anyone who is looking to stay near the beach and enjoy the surrounding community.

Good experience

This was a really pleasant stay and perfect for our group. Dan was really responsive and helpful. Check in and out was easy. The backyard is shared and it was entirely clear from the photos that we had the front unit, rather than the back unit with a balcony overlooking the shared yard. It ended up being totally fine, but something to consider.

Beach Vacation

Great location, easy walk to many different food venues and little shops. Easy, short walk to the public beach access. Nice quiet neighborhood. Short drive into town if needing groceries on a larger scale. House was awesome, nice backyard patio and sitting area. Clean, lots of space with comfortable beds. 2 bathrooms with tubs and showers were great for 4 kids. Kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, and beach stuff readily available at the house to use (didn't get to use the paddle boards or kayaks d/t the weather). Daniel was easy to get a hold of and quick response was received from him when needed.

Nice, but needs work.

Pictures are deceiving. The home has been remodeled to a point, but not done well. Floors are "wavy", in some places you can see a 2 inch difference with numerous floor coverings on top of one another. Tripping hazard going from LR to bathroom. Sliding doors in LR are in need of replacement. All in all, it was an ok place. Just not what I expected. On the positive side, the outdoor grill and seating area was very nice.

Perfect Girls Weekend

This home was the perfect spot for our girls weekend. The home was spacious and had plenty of room for our group to hang out and rest comfortably, and we enjoyed the shared outdoor space as well. We loved having beach chairs and wagons available to use. The location of this home was convenient for walking to both town and the beach. The property manager was very communicative and helpful!

Great location, can use some sprucing

The location of this rental is excellent but the accommodations can use some sprucing. Seven women rented for 4 days/3 nights & had gorgeous weather our entire stay. A car is not necessary as multiple restaurants & grocery store are a short walk away. Beach access is close, but not 250 steps (we counted 300 steps & were still 2 blocks away) but a sturdy beach wagon & many beach chairs are provided and we walked easily to the beach everyday. Pros:-Communication was wonderful. Answered questions promptly. When we asked about the TV they sent someone over immediately. Check in/check out instructions were clear -Outside porch was a lovely place for coffee in the morning or for extra space -King beds upstairs were comfortable -Plentiful beach towels, multiple beach chairs & beach wagon Cons: -Kitchen: no wine glasses (we used water glasses) & the stove burners got warm (not hot). We used the stove for breakfast, for lunch/dinner we had sandwiches or walked to the Village. Cooking knives aren't sharp. Would be difficult to prep a full dinner with the tools provided.-Living room: Seating is cramped for 7 adults, sofa is comfy but other options are not. Not a smart TV (no streaming)-Metal bunk beds(not wood)are very loud - Space itself is open & sound carries easily. In 1 upstairs bedroom there are bi-fold doors (open to the living room below)Again, location to the Village & beach is great. Just wanted to share some info that would have helped us when looking @ rentals

Good location

Easy to navigate. Close to beach and close to village. Unit was nice ... a little aged. The only problem we had was the overhead lights in the upstairs bedrooms coming on spontaneously in the middle of the night. Dan was a great host.

So close to everything!

Our family stayed 4 nights and had a great time. The beach is so close and we loved that it is a quieter beach area. The village is also super close and we loved going to dinner and ice cream and going to the shops. The room was very spacious but could use a bit of updating but it worked great for us. The wagon and chairs were amazing to have!

lovely duplex

i stayed with a few friends for a week and we had no issues with the house. the host was excellent with response times. it was clean and just like the pictures in all but one area. this rental is a two unit house and that was written nowhere on the description. the backyard is shared. while we experienced no problems with this it was a disappointed to learned upon arrival that the whole wasn’t ours and we didn’t even have the balcony facing the backyard. We had booked this thinking it was just our space and it put a damper on parts of the trip having to worried about not disturbing the neighbors.
